What is the difference between a good regular start and a good plus start? Is there really much value added?

Hello Mrs.,

The 2 main differences are the addition of DHA (an omega-3 acid) and a probiotic in Good Start Plus. However, there is no data to support the addition of these, the benefits compared to a formula without them are not concrete.

In conclusion, I would consider one or the other of equal value.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
