Can my children take Together's products?
Updated over a week ago

Although most of our ingredients are suitable for children our products are formulated for adults. However, when the full dose is not suitable the capsules can be split and the contents added to food or drink to provide half a dose if necessary.

We don't recommend giving children under 5 the products in the capsules or softgels as they may present a choking hazard.

We recommend that you consult your child's health practitioner to suggest a suitable dosage. There are also government guidelines about safe doses for some nutrients for various ages that can be found here. These doses are total amounts from diet and supplementation combined.

Our Omega 3 is suitable for all ages and the softgel can be pierced and the contents added to food or drink.

We do not recommend our Multibiotic for children under 16 as the full dose of probiotics is too high for younger ages and the capsule can not be split due to potential deterioration of the live bacteria.

We suggest proceeding with caution when considering our Night Time product because it contains 5-HTP.

Unfortunately, there is not much research on the use of the herbs in our Stress Aid and children, so we can't say for certain if they are or are not safe for kids and what doses would be suitable. We, therefore, recommend against them using it.

The scientific literature does not provide evidence to support that 5-HTP is harmful to children. However, when there is little or no evidence to support use for children we suggest that you proceed with caution and not use it.
