What is an effective way to give HLC High Potency powder easily to kids?
Q. Can the Pharmax HLC High Potency powder be added to milk or something so that my kids can more easily take it? Or maybe sprinkled on something? Does this reduce it's effectiveness?
A. You may add the probiotic to food or beverages (but not hot ones), or have them take it right off the spoon since it tastes quite good. This will not reduce its effectiveness.

2. Are there any advantages to the capsules vs. the powder or vice versa? What about cost advantages?

A. The only advantage of capsules vs. powder is convenience of swallowing caps vs. taking out a spoon and mixing the powder into water or food. The advantage of powder is price. Powders will always cost less than capsule gram for gram since there is an extra cost for encapsulating the product.

3. When I put my finger in the Neonate as directed it looks like hardly any of the powder sticks, but maybe this is all that is needed. Is it true that such a fine amount is the right dosage?

A. Yes, this tiny amount of HLC Neonate appropriate for your 4 month old infant. Yet, you may safely increase the dose to remedy acute symptoms by either wetting your finger first, or using half of a ¼ teaspoon measure.

4.These probiotics were recommended to me by our nutritionist and she suggested that the whole family can benefit. We have 4 children—ages 8, 6, 3 & 4 mos—what would your recommendation be as to dosage for them?

A. The dosage does depend on their health condition. If they are healthy and they are taking probiotics to maintain their immune systems and prevent food allergies and gastrointestinal problems, they can take a maintenance dose of ¼ teaspoon per day (or even just a few times a week). If they have been on antibiotics in the last year, or have Candida, GI problems, allergies, or skin conditions, they can take a higher “active dose” which is ½ teaspoon once or twice daily for 1-3 months. The dosage for probiotics can safely be modified according to symptom improvement since these organisms are quite safe and it is not possible to ‘overdose’ on them.
