Few things may be more frustrating to any parent than figuring out how to keep their child’s digestive system healthy. Fortunately, there are supplements that can help.

DigestRight®† dietary supplement

We all naturally have digestive enzymes in our intestinal tract. Enzymes are the “micromachines” that break food into usable, absorbable nutrients that the body uses to grow. Occasionally, whether we’re young or old, it seems that we don’t always have the enzymes we need to unlock nutrients from food, and a supplemental boost can make the difference.† For the younger set, there’s DigestRight†.

DigestRight is a broad-range enzyme supplement formulated especially for children by leading physicians in child neurological development to promote optimal digestion of the fullest range of foods.†

The plant-based and microbial enzymes in DigestRight† are tough enough to survive exposure to stomach acidity without the need for enteric coatings. They’re active, too, in a pH range of 2-12, which includes the very challenging and acidic environment of the stomach to the very alkaline reaches of the small intestine.†

Pearls X-press® maximum strength probiotics
Probiotics are important for everyone, but it’s a fair bet that kids probably don’t get much in the way of probiotics—the beneficial bacteria found in yogurt—through their diets. That’s unfortunate, because the beneficial effects of probiotics on human health are significant. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium play an important role in healthy immunological, digestive, and other physiologic functions.†

Pearls X-press maximum strength probiotics is a must for children's health.† It combines a prebiotic powder with tiny, pearl-like capsules that include probiotics that survive stomach acids and get to work right away in the large intestine.†

Having prebiotics mixed in is convenient and smart – the prebiotic kick-starts the probiotic cultures and tastes great!† In fact, the combination has a proven 60% faster growth, for benefits when you need them the most.†**

Plus, probiotic and prebiotic supplementation has been clinically shown to safely and effectively support digestive function in children.†

Fiber Delights® daily fiber
Childhood might seem too early a time to think about fiber, but it’s probably not a bad idea to start. Although a sensible diet that is rich in fruits and veggies is always the best place to start for nutrients and fiber, these foods don’t usually make it on a kid’s list of favorites. To help overcome the challenge, consider Fiber Delights.

Fiber Delights chewable tablets are available in two delicious flavors, chocolate and vanilla, that makes getting a fiber boost almost like having a snack.

With a blend of inulin and oat bran fibers, these great-tasting tablets help gently promote and maintain regularity.† Plus, the inulin fiber in Fiber Delights also provides a prebiotic boost that helps support healthy probiotic balance, too.†

Natural support for children’s digestion:
While maintaining healthy digestion in a child can seem difficult, it doesn’t have to be. Between providing healthy food and digestive-support supplements when needed, you can help keep the younger ones in your life feeling great, naturally.†
