HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Probiotic For Kids by Balance One
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
Balance One Probiotic For Kids contains 8 ingredients, including live beneficial bacteria strains: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus brevis, Bifidobacteria infantis, Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacteria lactis, and a proprietary blend that includes Lactobacillus plantarum 6595, Lactobacillus paracasei 13434, and Lactobacillus rhamnosus 6594. These are probiotics — friendly microorganisms meant to support your child's digestive and immune health.
The product also contains inactive ingredients (microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, pectin, stearic acid, sodium carbonate, orange flavor, stevia, silicon dioxide, guar gum, and turmeric) that serve as fillers, binders, and flavoring.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The evidence for L. acidophilus suggests it may be helpful for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Helicobacter pylori infection, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and bacterial vaginosis, though the data isn't conclusive. It appears possibly ineffective for atopic disease (allergic conditions).
For acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), there isn't enough reliable evidence to say either way. Streptococcus thermophilus has insufficient evidence to rate it for any of the conditions we have data on — including antibiotic-associated diarrhea, bacterial vaginosis, fatty liver disease, constipation, diabetes, and diabetic kidney disease.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Lactobacillus acidophilus is generally well tolerated in healthy children, though you should check with your child's doctor before starting it. Rare but serious infections (bacteremia, sepsis, abscesses, and meningitis) have been reported, though most cases occurred in patients where the bacteria moved from areas where they naturally live; healthy children are at very low risk.
Mild gastrointestinal side effects (stomach discomfort, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, vomiting, and burping) are uncommon but possible, especially when combined with other probiotics. One trial reported rashes and itching, though it's unclear whether L. acidophilus caused them.
Streptococcus thermophilus is also generally well tolerated in healthy children, but children with weakened immune systems should be careful, and you should check with your doctor first.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before giving this product to your child, check with your pharmacist or doctor about any antibiotics your child is taking or may take soon. The live organisms in this probiotic can be killed by antibiotics if taken at the same time, reducing the probiotic's effectiveness.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product might help your child's digestion, especially if they've taken antibiotics or have IBS, but the evidence is still developing. Separate doses from any antibiotic your child is taking by a few hours so the antibiotic doesn't kill off the live probiotics.
Before starting it, talk with your child's doctor or pharmacist — especially if your child has a weakened immune system or any serious health conditions.

Antibiotic Drugs
Theoretically, taking Lactobacillus acidophilus with antibiotic drugs might decrease the effectiveness of L. acidophilus.
L. acidophilus preparations usually contain live and active organisms. Therefore, simultaneously taking antibiotics might kill a significant number of the organisms. Tell patients to separate administration of antibiotics and L. acidophilus preparations by at least two hours.
