Multi-Vitamin & Chelated Minerals
Why should I take it?
A wide variety of vital micronutrients are needed for a growing child’s body. Micronutrients play a role in strengthening immune function, converting food into energy, detoxifying chemicals, manufacturing neurotransmitters and other key signaling molecules in the body, and maintaining tissue repair and cell regeneration. A deficiency in any one of these essential vitamins or minerals can create a breakdown of metabolic processes that help safeguard a child’s health. In the average American child’s diet, nutritional deficiencies may be caused by a number of factors including poor food choices, transport and storage methods, and nutrient-depleting food processing techniques.

Probiotics
Why should I take it?
The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is a finely balanced environment where roughly 500 different strains of bacteria compete for space and nutrients. The natural microflora balance can be disrupted by medications, such as antibiotics, or poor dietary intake. One of the key benefits of probiotics is their ability to increase populations of healthy bacteria in the face of microflora imbalance. In addition, extensive research has identified other broad health benefits, including supporting healthy bowel function, increasing the production of important short-chain fatty acids that provide energy to the cells of the intestinal lining, boosting immune function, aiding in the digestion of difficult-to-break-down compounds like lactose and casein, and enhancing detoxification of harmful compounds.

FloraBoost comes in a powder form for easy administration to children.
Vitamin D3
Why should I take it?
Supports and maintains bone and dental health, increases calcium absorption and balance, boosts immune activity and helps increase musculoskeletal strength. Vitamin D is a steroid vitamin, a group of fat-soluble pro-hormones best known for their role in supporting bone health and aiding in the absorption of calcium and phosphate from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It is a key nutrient for the needs of growing children and adolescents. A growing body of research highlights its important role in supporting other body systems, cardiovascular health, musculoskeletal strength, and immune function. It can target over 200 different genes throughout the body. Despite its importance, deficiency and insufficiency of this important nutrient has reached epidemic proportions around the world, in both adults and children.
