Our Story
Hi, it's Roy.
I created LactoKids because my daughter kept falling sick, and every piece of standard advice we were told, had very little improvement. It was from a lucky encounter at a pharmaceutical factory in Korea, where I finally found the solution I was looking for.
In 2014
My daughter's low immunity made her fall sick often.
Despite following the standard advice from other parents and experts, including taking vitamins, sleeping early, and eating only organic food and snacks, our daughter's health stayed the same.
It was exhausting for all of us. My wife's relationship with her colleagues and bosses were strained. While I had to turn down clients for my business. For my daughter, playdates were cancelled, lessons were missed, and the whole family felt it.
The Search Begins
Probiotics were the first thing that showed some change, although the results were all over the place.
Some brands helped for a while, then seemed to stop working. That is when we went down the rabbit hole of trying everything we could get our hands on.
We spent thousands: popular brands, affordable ones, gummies, cultured drinks from the supermarket, and even expensive imports. The expensive ones were the only ones that actually worked consistently, but at that price, we could not keep it up forever.
They also came in large tablets that were hard for a child to swallow, and after breaking them into smaller pieces, the taste was bitter. We needed something just as effective but actually made for kids.
Call It Luck or Fate
Then a Korean client changed everything.
When my Korean client, from my business, heard about our situation, he put me in touch with a friend back home.
This friend, Mr Kim, was the head of a renowned pharmaceutical manufacturing business that produced probiotics for some of the biggest international brands. He invited us for a tour of his facility.
And it was during that visit that I finally unlocked the secret behind the trillion dollar probiotic industry.
The Key Insight
A probiotic only works if it can survive the journey to your digestive system.
Mr Kim told us that while all probiotics contain good bacteria, the reason so many fail comes down to one thing: survivability. Most consumers focus on strain count or CFU numbers, but if those bacteria get neutralized by stomach acid, they will never reach the gut to actually do their work.
There is a technology, called microencapsulation, that protects these probiotics. And Mr Kim's factory was already using it for his other supplement clients and had the scale and equipment to do it properly.
What shocked us was learning that most brands choose to skip it to keep their costs down!
How LactoKids Was Born
The right science, finally designed for children.
At that time, most microencapsulated probiotics were designed for adults: big tablets with a bland taste that kids would fight you on every single day.
For kids, taste has to matter, be easy to bring anywhere, and simple enough that there is no choking risk. Back then, nobody had made a probiotic for children that was both properly protected and genuinely enjoyable to take.
So I decided to make make one myself. After months of working closely with Mr Kim to get every detail right, LactoKids was created.
Give Your Child the Same Start
Over 200,000 boxes sold in 8 years, and counting.
Beyond our clinically studied strains and patented micro-encapsulation technology, we added one more ingredient that most brands leave out: Colostrum.
Colostrum is the first milk produced by mammals after birth, packed with antibodies and growth factors that give a newborn's immune system its very first instructions. Including it in a probiotic gives the good bacteria a head start on building a stronger gut and immune system. Most brands skip it because it costs more. We kept it in because it works.

The Result
Results showed after one month.
I knew LactoKids was working after my daughter took it daily for one month. To our surprise, she was unaffected when half her class was down during flu season. We were glad She stopped spreading germs to the rest of us.
Today, LactoKids is on the shelves in major pharmacy chains across Singapore, including Guardian and Watsons.
Even paediatricians started recommending it to their patients!
