A Whole Food-Based Synbiotic Designed to Support Digestive Regularity, Gut Balance, and Immune Health in Children
PALMYRA, Wis., March 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Standard Process, a leader in whole food-based nutritional solutions, today announced the launch of SP Children’s® ProSynbiotic. The gentle, clinically-backed, whole food-based synbiotic is formulated to support digestive comfort, microbiome balance, and immune health in children three years of age and up as a daily supplement or when needs arise for gastrointestinal (GI) support.
“Most children aren’t consuming adequate amounts of fiber, prebiotics, and beneficial microbes, and it’s an increasingly difficult feat for parents to get what they need in the modern diet landscape,” says Weston Bussler, Nutrition Science PhD and Product Development Manager, Standard Process. “Our ProSynbiotic makes it easy to deliver fiber-packed whole foods, and in a kid-approved format designed and tested at our Nutrition Innovation Center, to provide the nutritional components critical for GI and immune health.”
Standard Process developed SP Children’s® ProSynbiotic to directly meet these needs with a carefully selected blend of probiotics, prebiotics, and whole food-based fiber without added sugars, artificial flavors, or sweeteners. The flavorless powder comes in convenient single-serve sticks, making it easy to mix into food or beverages without altering taste, an important consideration for picky eaters.
Why Now? Children’s Health and The Standard American Diet
Children face health implications of the Standard American Diet (SAD). NCHS data reports approximately 60% of children’s daily calories come from ultra-processed foods (UPF), contributing to widespread nutrient inadequacy. 95% of Americans, for example, don’t come close to consuming 25 grams of recommended daily fiber, which can contribute to digestive issues like constipation and poor gut health.
Numerous factors influence children’s dietary habits, including social determinants, access, convenience, marketing tactics, and autonomy to choose their own foods- contributing to health implications taking root early. Standard Process aims to close the gap through nutrition education and equipping health care practitioners, including chiropractors, nutritionists, nurse practitioners, among others, with science-backed supplement solutions.
