Seed PDS-08™ Prebiotic + Probiotic for Kids
Mamavation is recommending Seed PDS-08™ Prebiotic + Probiotic for Kids. This bacterial + prebiotic combination has been shown in a clinical study to help children who experience low bowel movement frequency to increase the amount of bowel movements they have. In other words, this product may improve occasional constipation in children and is well tolerated with no adverse events reported in the clinical trials.
Additionally, many studies on children have been done with the bacterial strains used inside Seed PDS-08™ Prebiotic + Probiotic for Kids linking them to the following health benefits for your child:
- Digestive & gastrointestinal immunity benefits — supports tummy ease and comfort, supports healthy, well-formed stools, supports healthy gut immune function, supports healthy gut integrity.

SeedLabs Work to Save The Honey Bees with the BioPatty™!
Did you know that SeedLabs is also working on probiotic products to save honey bees?
Honeybees are one of our most vital insect pollinators, responsible for nearly a third of our global food crops. Yet widespread pesticide use, along with climate change, disease, and habitat loss, have contributed to a stark reduction in honey bee populations over the past decade.
SeedLabs is working with Dr. Gregor Reid to create a cocktail of three probiotic strains: Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Lp39, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GR-1, and Apilactobacillus kunkeei BR-1. This combo of very specific bacterial species has been shown to improve innate immune response, provide resistance against infection, and support insect resilience to toxic pesticides. It’s called the BioPatty™ and it’s the first delivery method for this probiotic formulation to save the bees.
Their Chief Scientist, Dr. Gregor Reid, came up with the hypothesis, “Probiotics aren’t just for humans. If you could use beneficial microbes to stimulate the immune response or attack the pathogens that are infecting the hives, then maybe we can help save the bees.”
In a 2019 study published in the ISME Journal, Dr. Daisley demonstrated the potential of the BioPatty™ in supporting honey bee colonies against American foulbrood. Hives that were administered the BioPatty™ showed a significantly lower pathogen load (in both adult bees and in larvae) than those without. The field trial observations were reproduced through laboratory-controlled experiments, indicating that this 3-strain probiotic could improve honey bee survival towards P. larvae infection, directly inhibit P. larvae cells in vitro, and modulate innate immunity when an infection was experimentally triggered.
SeedLabs Works to Save the Coral Reefs with Probiotics
Are you concerned with the health of coral reefs around the world? They are home to a bustling ecosystem of corals, sea sponges, crustaceans, mollusks, fish, sea turtles, and dolphins. It’s estimated they support nearly 25% of all marine life. However, they are in trouble! Changing environmental conditions—rising water temperatures, pollution, and ocean acidification—have greatly affected coral reefs worldwide.
Reefs also thrive with microscopic life—a collection of bacteria, algae, viruses, and single-celled protists that play a role in everything from providing energy to protecting against pathogenic invaders. Therefore, just as probiotics are studied to improve human health, probiotics are being explored as a solution to support and improve the health of coral reefs.
SeedLabs is working with Dr. Raquel Peixoto, an Associate Professor of Marine Science at KAUST, to understand the benefit of probiotic bacteria for the prevention of coral bleaching, enhancing coral calcification, and aiding in coral growth and resilience. Our collaboration also includes the development of innovative technologies for probiotic delivery to reef systems.
Field testing has begun in the Red Sea and additional collaborations are underway to expand testing to other sites. They are also doing metagenomic sequencing and delivery technology testing.
