Hi Yesenia, children don't really need enzymes like adults do.  We all start out with a certain number of enzymes and as we get older we use them up.  We use them up quicker if we eat a lot of processed foods.  If you feed your children whole foods...with a lot of raw thrown in...they will grow up way ahead of us and still have some enzymes left.  My opinion on the probiotics is to offer it to them in the form of whole foods and not supplements.  Good questions!

hi cathy, thank you for the reply.  i was told that by using them (espcially for my 5 yr old whom is extremely sensative to food) that they can help clear her digestive system which will help her overall (from vaccines and processed food). 

 

so much info to process =) but thankfully my eyes are opening...slowly but surely =)

The important thing is to get her off the food she is sensitive too.  Have you been able to do that?

hi cathy, i sorta have . the trouble i run into is when she goes to grandmas house or b-day parties, but i need to be more disciplined and do it 100%.

 

thanks!
