Children's Multi-Probiotic provides a clinical dose of seven probiotic Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species associated with healthy gastrointestinal function and the natural microbiome established during childhood. A healthy microbiota has been associated with a wide range of beneficial functions, including immune system modulation, improved response to vaccination, improved health of the cells lining the gastrointestinal tract and the gastrointestinal barrier, and resistance to pathogenic bacterial species. Many of the beneficial effects of a healthy microbiota have been attributed to its metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and bile acids, which have both local and systemic effects.

The species contained in Children's Multi-Probiotic have been shown to have a number of specific benefits. For example, Bifidobacterium longum subspecies infantis has been described as a "champion of infant gut colonization," linked to reduced inflammation and improved vaccine response. A meta-analysis suggests that Lactobacillus fermentum may be the most effective species for reducing the severity of atopic dermatitis in children. Similarly, several species of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, particularly L. casei, reduce the risk of developing C. difficile-associated diarrhea after antibiotic use. Several large meta-analyses have also found a significant reduction in respiratory tract infections in children supplemented with probiotics.
