The body is a battleground

Since a child’s immune system is more vulnerable and delicate than that of an adult, they are more susceptible to illness and infection. Without realizing it, their growing bodies are constantly fighting an ongoing invisible battle against daily germs and foreign microbes that they come into contact with – at home, in the playground, and even as they sleep!

 

The best line of defense to strengthen child's immune system is to maintain structural integrity. In other words, make sure that a child’s immune system is supported and has a good foundation for health.

For example, tears, nasal secretions, and saliva all contain special enzymes that make up the first line of defense and keep invaders at bay. That is why some medications prescribed to dry-up mucous membranes are not ideal solutions. Many of the things that we seek to rectify are actually proof that the immune system is working and doing its job properly.

 

In addition, many parents wonder about the safety of medications they give their children, including the antibiotic side effects in children that can result.

 

The natural way

Natural remedies have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to counteract immune problems in children, acting as immune system tonics to encourage normal and efficient defense against pathogens and routine recovery.

 

In more recent times, research has confirmed this traditional wisdom. There are now many published clinical studies demonstrating the ability of a range of herbs to support the normal and healthy functioning of the immune system, and shorten recovery time.

 

Often, prescription antibiotic side effects in children are harsh, and natural remedies can be a good alternative.

What ingredients does KiddieBoost contain?

KiddieBoost is a 100% herbal formula which contains the following carefully selected herbs in therapeutic dosage:

 

• Echinacea Purpurea (also known as American coneflower) is a Native American herb that has become famous for its tonic effect on the immune system. Many studies have been conducted with regards to this herb and its immune-stimulating properties. (Schoneberger D. “The influence of immune-stimulating effects of pressed juice from Echinacea purpurea on the course and severity of colds”. Results of double-blind study. Forum Immunol 1992;8:2-12.) Furthermore, Echinacea has been shown to assist with convalescence and immune problems in children. (Taylor JA, Weber W, Standish L, et al. “Efficacy and safety of echinacea in treating upper respiratory tract infections in children: a randomized controlled trial”. JAMA 12-3-2003;290(21):2824-2830).

• Astragalus Membranaceous (also known by its Chinese name, 'Huang qi') is a potent yet child-safe Chinese remedy that has a variety of benefits as an immune-supportive convalescent and rejuvenating tonic. Studies have shown Astragalus to promote immune responses effectively. (Liu X, Wang M, Wu H, Zhao X, Li H. “Isolation of astragalan and its immunological activities”. Tianran Chanwu Yanjiu Yu Kaifa . 1994;6:23-31.)

• Inula Helenium (also known as Wild Sunflower) is associated with Helen of Troy by legend, and has been used since the days of the Roman poet Horace. It is very effective as an encouraging respiratory tonic and is widely respected for its promotion of health.

• Withania Somnifera (also known as Winter cherry) has been an important herb in the Ayurvedic and indigenous medical systems for over 3000 years, and is also called 'Indian ginseng'. It is one of the most important Ayurvedic tonic herbs, recommended for supporting growth, promoting energy, and encouraging stamina. Regular use can also help to promote blood nourishment, and it has been shown to stimulate the immune system. (Davis L, Kuttan G. “Immunomodulatory activity of Withania somnifera”. J Ethnopharmacol 2000;71:193-200.)
