Our assessment
The evidence shows that Bio-Kids Plus Probiotic Supplement contains calcium, which is essential for your child’s health. However, the data we have is incomplete regarding the specific probiotic strains and dosage. Our assessment is based solely on the calcium content listed in the ingredients. For bone health and nerve function, calcium is a critical mineral [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a builder and communicator in your child's body. It supports bone mineralization, meaning it helps deposit minerals into the bone matrix to build strong, dense bones. Calcium also plays a key role in neuromuscular relaxation, which helps muscles relax and nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
Data not available for the specific product's side effects. However, based on the calcium ingredient, the FDA has received 592059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. High calcium levels can cause side effects including poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, and abnormal heart rhythms [FDA data] [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
You should be cautious with calcium supplementation in children. High intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer later in life [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications like antibiotics and thyroid medication [NIH ODS]. We recommend consulting your pediatrician before starting this product, as the data on the probiotic component itself is not available.
