We Want You to Ask Questions!

The short answer is probably yes. We’ve all seen what happens when our kid’s stomachs are acting up, yet what we don’t see is how much the gut is the control center for little kid’s bodies. Since toddlers are born with a sterile GI system (that unfortunately gets further impacted by processed foods, added sugar, and antibiotics), a good probiotic is now seen as an essential way to support a healthy immune system, yet so many probiotics are dead on arrival.

Unfortunately, many probiotics are generalized strains filled with added sugar, gummy additives, and other ingredients that may not be ideal for live cultures. Hiya is designed for optimal absorption, individually selected for childhood needs, and sent straight to you with an evolving formula so your probiotic actives remain strong and your kids get a variety of benefits.

Probiotics are live cultures that are easily destroyed, especially by other actives such as vitamins and minerals. That’s why we isolate the probiotic strains in a unique formula apart from our multi so they arrive in your child’s gut as you’d expect.

Yes many of the strains we use are known to support childhood digestion, healthy poos, gut health, and other tummy issues common among kids.

As with our multi, our probiotic is sweetened with zero added sugar. Rather our probiotic includes monk fruit extract — a superfruit that is sweeter than sugar for a taste kids love. Each vitamin also includes a touch of xylitol — a sweetener often recommended by dentists in their fight against tooth decay.

Our probiotic is an evolving set of strains based on seasonality to make sure your kids are always getting what makes the most sense based on the latest science.

Yes. While some probiotics include extra fillers so your child is supposed to eat several, ours is designed for full-body nourishment in just one chewable. Which means less stress for those in charge. For any questions about dosage, please consult your pediatrician.

When you get a new delivery of fresh probiotics, for optimal potency, we suggest replacing your old probiotics with your fresh ones. That way you can be sure your child is always putting the freshest nutrients in their growing bodies, which is particularly important with probiotics since they’re live cultures known to lose potency when exposed to air and heat.

Our probiotic is designed for boys and girls starting at age 2. Please always consult your pediatrician to make sure a probiotic is right for your child.

Definitely — our daily multivitamin and our daily probiotic are designed to co-exist with interconnected functions that support each other. So if you’re looking for maximum wellness, we typically suggest a child take both our multivitamin and probiotic.

We suggest your child takes one probiotic per day with a meal — either breakfast or dinner — though you may take our probiotic with or without food.

As parents ourselves, we know parents have enough to worry about — let alone worrying about vitamins and probiotics. Our monthly subscription is easy to start, easy to cancel and includes the ability to control your delivery date. Your first month you receive a 30-day supply of fresh probiotics and a reusable glass bottle meant to be personalized with stickers. Then each month thereafter you receive a recyclable refill pouch to fill up your bottle with fresh probiotics. The monthly experience is based on a pediatrician-recommended delivery schedule and is designed to teach your children healthy habits and care for the environment. If you’ve also ordered our multivitamin, we’ll do our best to coordinate so you get both vitamins and probiotics shipped together.

If you want to adjust anything or cancel your order, you may email us directly at support@hiyahealth.com with your request. Alternatively you may do so directly in your account by clicking 'Manage Subscription' from the initial email you should have received upon your first order.
