For medical purposes it is treated like any other standard dose probiotic. However, like most supplements on the market, it has been formulated for adults. We have heard from several parents giving it to very young children (e.g. under 2), but every child is different and it is up to you to determine the suitability of food or supplement for your child.<\/p>\r\n<p>Even though Phage Complete ingredients are perfectly safe, there are rare risks associated with die-off symptoms (toxins produced by bad bacteria dying). Here are some things I would recommend:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>The child must have been on solid foods for at least 6 months<\/li>\r\n<li>The child should be at least 18 months old and at least 25lbs<\/li>\r\n<li>Start off with a small dose, such as 1\/8th of a capsule and work up or down based on a lack of any new symptoms and the child\u2019s weight (upto 1 capsule\/day &gt;75lbs, \u00bd capsules for a child 50-75lbs, \u00bc capsule for 25-50lbs)<\/li>\r\n<li>Watch for <a href=\"https:\/\/theguthealthprotocol.com\/wp\/ufaqs\/im-feeling-achy-headache-starting-phage-complete\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">die-off symptoms<\/a> and adjust the dose down if you see any.<\/li>\r\n<li>Do not give ANY other probiotic or fermented foods with live cultures while they are on Phage Complete<\/li>\r\n<li>Make sure they consume proper amounts of water for their age.<\/li>\r\n<li>Do not give this, or any probiotic, if the child has an immuno-deficiency condition or is being treated with any drugs that affect the immune system<\/li>\r\n<li>If the child has any medical condition you should ask their pediatrician if it safe for them to take a probiotic. This includes chronic diarrhea or constipation.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>When in doubt, consult the child&#8217;s pediatrician. <br \/><br \/><\/p>\r\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class='ewd-ufaq-faq-custom-fields'>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class='ewd-ufaq-social-links'>\n\n\t<span class='ewd-ufaq-social-links-label'>\n\t\tShare\t<\/span>\n\t\n\t<ul class='rrssb-buttons'>\n\t\t<li class='rrssb-facebook'>\n\n\t<a href='https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theguthealthprotocol.com%2Fwp%2Fufaqs%2Fgiving-phage-complete-to-a-child%2F' class='popup'>\n\n\t\t<span class='rrssb-icon'>\n\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' preserveAspectRatio='xMidYMid' width='29' height='29' viewBox='0 0 29 29'>\n\t\t\t\t<path d='M26.4 0H2.6C1.714 0 0 1.715 0 2.6v23.8c0 .884 1.715 2.6 2.6 2.6h12.393V17.988h-3.996v-3.98h3.997v-3.062c0-3.746 2.835-5.97 6.177-5.97 1.6 0 2.444.173 2.845.226v3.792H21.18c-1.817 0-2.156.9-2.156 2.168v2.847h5.045l-.66 3.978h-4.386V29H26.4c.884 0 2.6-1.716 2.6-2.6V2.6c0-.885-1.716-2.6-2.6-2.6z' class='cls-2' fill-rule='evenodd' \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t<span class='rrssb-text'>facebook<\/span>\n\n\t<\/a>\n\n<\/li><li class='rrssb-twitter'>\n\n\t<a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=Check+out+this+helpful+FAQ%3A+Giving+Phage+Complete+to+a+Child+%7C+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theguthealthprotocol.com%2Fwp%2Fufaqs%2Fgiving-phage-complete-to-a-child%2F' class='popup'>\n\n\t\t<span class='rrssb-icon'>\n\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' width='28' height='28' viewBox='0 0 28 28'>\n\t\t\t\t<path d='M24.253 8.756C24.69 17.08 18.297 24.182 9.97 24.62c-3.122.162-6.22-.646-8.86-2.32 2.702.18 5.375-.648 7.507-2.32-2.072-.248-3.818-1.662-4.49-3.64.802.13 1.62.077 2.4-.154-2.482-.466-4.312-2.586-4.412-5.11.688.276 1.426.408 2.168.387-2.135-1.65-2.73-4.62-1.394-6.965C5.574 7.816 9.54 9.84 13.802 10.07c-.842-2.738.694-5.64 3.434-6.48 2.018-.624 4.212.043 5.546 1.682 1.186-.213 2.318-.662 3.33-1.317-.386 1.256-1.248 2.312-2.4 2.942 1.048-.106 2.07-.394 3.02-.85-.458 1.182-1.343 2.15-2.48 2.71z' \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\n\t\t<\/span>\n\n\t\t<span class='rrssb-text'>twitter<\/span>\n\n\t<\/a>\n\n<\/li>\t<\/ul>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class='ewd-ufaq-permalink'>\n\t\n\t<a href='https:\/\/www.theguthealthprotocol.com\/wp\/ufaqs\/giving-phage-complete-to-a-child\/'>\n\t\t\n\t\tPermalink\t\t <div class='ewd-ufaq-permalink-image'><\/div> \t\n\t<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class='ewd-ufaq-back-to-top'>\n\t\n\t<a class='ewd-ufaq-back-to-top-link'>\n\t\tTop of Page\t<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>D Giving Phage Complete to a Child There are no age restrictions on any of the ingredients in Phage Complete.
