Staying healthy is always a big family goal, especially at the beginning of the school year when the kids tend to catch a bug or two as they are exposed to different illnesses at school. Overall, I think they have pretty good immune systems but if there’s anything I can do to help them build that up to help defend the yuckies, I’m all for it! Family Flora is a natural prebiotic + probiotic formula that populates your gut with the healthy bacteria needed to successfully battle health challenges. It helps prime the immune system so your family will have a one up on whatever is thrown their way.
The key is the combination of prebiotics and probiotics in one formulation. Prebiotics are the essential food that probiotics eat while in your intestine to keep your gut healthy and ready to fight back. Family Flora products are Non-GMO, kosher, sodium-free, gluten-free and have no artificial flavors or colors. In fact, they are flavorless which makes them easy to consume. Just mix into any liquid! My family likes it in lemonade or orange juice but any cold liquid works just fine.
Here’s more info on the Family Flora products my family uses:
Daily Balance
Daily Balance“Good gut health is essential to proper digestion, vitamin and nutrient absorption, and a strong immune system. The body’s microbiome is made up of over 1 trillion cells. These “good bacteria” are a part of our overall defense against illness. The foods we eat and drink and our lifestyle can interrupt this inner harmony. Our Daily Balance Probiotic + Prebiotic formula is a perfect everyday method to support a vibrant microbiome and digestive balance, delivering 15 billion CFU, three-culture combination plus prebiotic formula.”
This adult daily formula comes in convenient easy-dose stick packs and contains 3 Probiotic Cultures + 1 Super Prebiotic: Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Lactobacillus Rhamnosus and Bifidobacterium Bifidum + Organic Inulin.
Junior Daily Balance
Junior Daily Balance“Just like adults, children’s “good bacteria” make up the 1 trillion cells in the microbiome. The foods kids eat (or don’t eat!), the medications they take, the other children they come in contact with, can all interfere with a healthy balance in the microbiome. Family Flora Daily Balance Junior Probiotic + Prebiotic delivers a 10 billion CFU, four-culture combination plus prebiotic formula for children ages 2 – 14, helping young tummies to maintain their balance.”
The Junior Daily Balance Formula contains 4 Probiotic Cultures + A Super Prebiotic: Lactobacillus Acidophilus (DDS1), Lactobacillus Rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium Bifidum, and Bacillus Coagulans (Produra) + Prebiotics
I love that Family Flora thought to make probiotics for children and include fun stickers in every Junior Daily Balance box — one for each day for the kiddos!
Good gut health is important to your overall health. Probiotics supplements are like an insurance policy for your insides and microbiome. Common complaints like occasional constipation, diarrhea, gas and bloating are often alleviated with a good probiotic product and are a great alternative to over-the-counter remedies. Probiotics are proven to be safe and effective treatments for these problems without any side effects.
Family Flora suppresses bad bacteria by overpowering it with good bacteria. The intestine is the body’s largest immune system organ so it’s important to keep a healthy balance to maintain the natural immune system response. The DDS-1 strain of L. acidophilus (an ingredient in Family Flora) has been shown to produce B vitamins, which support and increase the rate of metabolism, help maintain healthy skin and muscle tone, and enhance nervous system function. Vitamin B9, or Folic Acid, is essential for children, adults, and especially expectant mothers.
Family Flora is super easy to add to your daily routine and such a great way to help improve your family’s immune function. Visit www.familyflora for more information and to download a digital coupon for $3 off any Family Flora Prebiotc at Target.com.
