What it is
Kids Gut Flora Builder by Cedar Bear is a great tasting, alcohol free liquid herbal formula designed to support the beneficial gut flora in your child's microbiome. It combines Pau d'Arco bark, Echinacea angustifolia root, usnea lichen, reishi mushroom and thyme leaf in a vegetable glycerin base.
How it helps
The gut flora is a community of trillions of microorganisms that live in your child's digestive system. It aids digestion and supports immune system functions. Imbalanced gut flora can affect a child at any age and can influence behaviour, emotions and health.
Signs that your child's gut flora may be out of balance can be easy to miss. They can include tummy upsets, gassiness, difficulty focusing, fatigue, irritability, moodiness, strong sugar cravings, a persistent runny nose, smelly breath, food sensitivities, or an immune system that does not seem to be working as well as it could.
Kids Gut Flora Builder supports the beneficial gut flora and helps cleanse the gut of unwanted organisms so that the beneficial bacteria can flourish. It also supports the immune system, helps immune cells communicate with each other, and has a protective antioxidant action.
