It’s never too early to start giving your child probiotics
I’m often asked if it’s okay to give babies and children probiotics. The answer is YES.

Gut health – flashback to a few years ago and it was a struggle to find anyone to engage in conversation about this topic. Today, it’s the ‘talk of the town’, a topic that has found a place at the forefront – and not before time, in my opinion. With each passing week, a new […]
