Manufacturing, Health, and Ingredients FAQs
The following are frequently asked questions and answers related to MegaKids Microbiome manufacturing, health, and ingredients.
| When it Comes to: | The Facts Are: |
| Use by Adults |
While MegaKids Microbiome was formulated with kids in mind, it is safe for adults to take. |
| Using Beyond Expiration Date | Plexus recommends the products be used within the expiration date for best efficacy and flavor. Although products can be safely consumed past the expiration date, it’s possible the flavor and amount of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients may diminish over time. |
| Reason for a reference to a milk allergen on the label | One of the ingredients in the MegaKids Microbiome formula is Vegetarian DHA. When processing this particular DHA, casein is used. Casein is a derivative of milk which is low in sugars and lactose. It is only in the ingredient as a processing agent, but it still leaves a small amount of casein in the DHA, therefore requiring a dairy allergen on the label. |
| Use with medication | Parents of kids taking medication should always consult with their kid’s pediatrician or health care practitioner prior to taking supplements. |
| Any allergy or medical concerns | Anyone who has an allergy, injury, illness, or other medical condition should always consult with a physician prior to taking Plexus products or starting any exercise regimen. If pregnant or nursing, consult with your physician prior to use. View What if I have a medical, injury, illness, pregnancy, nursing, or allergy concern about a Plexus product or the ingredients? |
