A member asked:

What are the benefits and cons of daily use of flora baby probiotics for a 2 year old? it claims immune support is that true?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Claims are forbidden: The FDA strictly forbids advertisement of dietary supplements with 'claims' of any sort. Probiotics are generally considered to be safe and beneficial for overall GI health, but be wary of any product that claims to cure or prevent disease.
