Probiotics in the prevention and therapy in children in parents’ opinion
Journal Title: Journal of Animal Science, Biology and Bioeconomy - Year 2016, Vol 34, Issue 4
Abstract
A survey conducted among parents of children up to the age of 6 (most were respondents with higher education) showed that over 80% of those surveyed had given probiotics to their children, mainly during antibiotic treatment or diarrhoea. The highest percentage of children had received them for the first time before the age of one year. The vast majority of the parents surveyed knew what probiotics are but had difficulty specifying what determines their effectiveness. The most frequently selected response to the question regarding their main source of information about probiotics was ‘doctor or pharmacist’.
