I’m a mom to four young children, and they’re just like any other kids: they love getting their fill of butter noodles, chicken nuggets, and pizza 🍕. Can you relate? Lets face it, when it comes to my little picky eaters, I'm just glad that they're eating something. Buuuut their lack of fruits & veggies is really harshing their tummies.
I was faced with a problem - my kids suffered constipation & irregular number twos 💩, yet they were too picky to eat fiber-rich foods. And even if I could bribe them to eat their veggies, they didn't eat enough, and certainly not every day.
My husband and I take Seed daily, so when I learned they had a product formulated especially for kids and teens (3-17) that had both a probiotic & fiber-based prebiotic, I knew I stumbled on something good.
I was shocked to learn that in order to get my kids to eat the same amount of fiber as 1 packet of Seed’s PDS-08®'s, they would need to eat 1.7 bananas, or 1.4 apples, 1.7 sweet potatoes, and so on...

Here are some other things I'm loving about Seed’s PDS-08®
1. It's specifically designed with "how do I get my kid to take this daily" in mind!
Any parent knows just how difficult it can be to get your kid to eat anything, so the unflavored packets can easily be hidden into some of their favorite meals or drinks. Imagine having to grind up a horse pill in a pill crusher (which never tastes good) and getting your kid to eat that. Probability reaaaaal low. Stay tuned below for my favorite way to serve it to my kids!
2. Don't have to worry about my kids having an allergic reaction!
It's free of 14 common allergens (read: gluten, dairy, soy, nuts, and more) which means I can sleep easily knowing
3. The pre-portioned satchets (think: cute little packet) make my life SO much easier.
As a mom of 4, I'm constantly on the go... knowing that on those extra hectic I can throw my kids in the car with a sippy cup & a Seed PDS-08® packet while driving carpool gives me peace of mind that even on the worst days, they'll still get in their allotted daily fiber (and so much more).
4. Unlike most probiotics, Seed doesn't need to be refrigerated!
For fear of sounding like a broken record, the convenience of this is HUGE. Being able to travel & bring a handful of packets without fear of locating a refrigerator removes an unnecessary layer of complications that nobody wants to have to deal with.
5. It's exceptionally well tolerated, meaning there have been no observed side effects or GI distress (as commonly reported with many fiber-based dietary supplements, probiotics and some prebiotics)
AKA my kids can take this tummy ache free!
6. It's $49.99/month and they offer free shipping & 30 day risk free guarantee - plus 15% off with code MSA15
That's only $1.67 per day (per kid) to ensure that they have frequent (but not too frequent) poops, support a strong immune system, support gut health, clear skin, and respiratory tract function, and ditch occasional GI distress/discomforts such as gas and bloating. A price I will HAPPILY pay for all of those benefits.
As promised, here are my favorite ways to serve my kids their Seed PDS-08®:
#1: Pouring it into a smoothie 🥤
Yes, smoothies are good for you on their own–but breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so why not supercharge your morning by getting as many health benefits in as possible? Seed’s PDS-08® Pediatric Daily Synbiotic pre-portioned sachets for easy serving–just pour the powder into your smoothie after blending, and mix. The powder is completely flavorless, so my kids will only taste the delicious fruit blend, all while getting 5g of prebiotic fiber per serving to support easy bowel movements.
#2: Layering it into a parfait 🍓
One of kids’ favorite breakfasts is a parfait. And when they want to load it up with all chocolate pieces and only a little bit of fruit, I know that I can rely on Seed’s PDS-08® to bridge the fiber gap they’re missing from the fruit alone! But Seed’s benefits go beyond gut health. Unlike the yogurt, Seed’s PDS-08® doesn’t need to be refrigerated. The sachet packaging makes Seed perfect for travel, and given that my kids’ immune systems can become compromised due to environmental stressors such as flying/traveling when we fly, it helps their bodies course-correct. Seed’s PDS-08® includes strains studied to support gut-immune function, and even respiratory health.
#3: Mixing it into fresh-squeezed OJ 🍊
This might be the easiest hack yet. My kids like stirring it into their OJ on their own, but parents can shake it up in a bottle to achieve the same nutritious, fiber-y goodness. Supporting their gut health, clear skin, and respiratory tract function is as easy as swirling Seed’s PDS-08® synbiotic into a drink!
Not only does the good bacteria in the gut encourage healthy poops, but PDS-08® promotes healthy regularity too.
Our Family’s Thoughts - all aboard the Seed train!
Most kids don’t get enough fiber to promote a healthy digestive system, and Seed’s PDS-08® helps us bridge the fiber gap and stay regular. My kids have been happy campers since they started their Seed routine–we've said goodbye to occasional GI distress/discomforts such as gas and bloating and hello to easy poops and strong immune systems!!
Seed not only offers a 30 days risk-free guarantee and free US shipping, but you can also get 15% off with code MSA15! Happy poops = happy mommas! You’re welcome 😉
