Are probiotics safe to give my kids?

Florify for Kids - Armor on the Inside

Is it safe to give my child probiotics?

Yes! Research suggests that probiotics are generally safe for healthy kids to take.1 In fact, according to a national study, probiotics are one of the natural products most commonly used by children—ranking right up there with omega-3s from fish oil.2

If your child has a serious illness or a weakened immune system due to an autoimmune disease, we strongly recommend consulting with your child’s doctor before giving your child probiotics or any other supplement.

Florify for Kids is everything you want in a children’s probiotic supplement.

Digestive and immune support.

Developed specifically for children, Florify for Kids gives your child great immune and digestive-health support.* That’s the extra protection anyone would want for their children—at school or play. Florify for Kids fortifies them from the inside, giving them the freedom to go about the business of being a child.

The right amount.

Each dose of Florify for Kids contains a guaranteed five billion active bacteria cultures (called CFUs) meant to flourish inside your child’s gut microbiome and replenish and maintain the healthy balance of good bacteria every child needs. That’s enough CFUs to deliver each probiotic strain in effective amounts.

Multiple, diverse probiotic strains.

Just like Florify® (our probiotic for grown-ups), Florify for Kids delivers probiotics in seven diverse strains—including Bifidobacterium lactis and Lactobacillus acidophilus. Compare that to Culturelle®†, a leading national brand, which provides just one probiotic strain. Seven strains is a big deal! Melaleuca knows that with probiotics especially, more diversity brings better results.

Easy for children to take.
No pills to swallow! Florify for Kids comes in a child-friendly strawberry flavor, with no sugar or gluten. The easy-to-take powder, which is just poured on the tongue, will be an instant favorite with even the fussiest eaters.

Why can’t my child just get probiotics from food?

It’s simple: probiotic-rich foods are actually pretty hard to find. Aside from some kinds of yogurt, there aren’t that many probiotic-rich foods in a common Western diet. Even fewer for persnickety children! Imagine trying to give your children sauerkraut or kimchi if they’re not used to those strong flavors and smells.

Florify for Kids gives your child great probiotic support, all in a child-friendly, easy-to-take strawberry-flavored powder!

8 Great Rules for Better Lung Health

March 28, 2018 by Melaleuca 3 Comments

Melaleuca Products

Take a deep breath. In. And out. That right there…is the essence of life.

You are completely dependent on your body’s ability to draw in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide to go on living. Each breath draws in essential oxygen from the surrounding atmosphere and pulls it deep into your lung tissue. Large passageways branch into increasingly smaller and more intricate structures. Eventually, air is funneled into microscopic channels ending in specialized alveolar sacs that are surrounded by a complex network of interlaced capillaries. The surface of these little spherical bellows is where gas exchange takes place. The average human has about 700 million of these sacs that do this miraculous work.

And yet you probably never think about it. Why? Because it is automatic. Your pulmonary system is receiving instructions from a part of your brain that isn’t fully connected to conscious thought. And thank heavens! Who wants to remember to breathe when there are so many other things to think about? Or who could sleep if breathing were a conscious act?

Just because breathing is automatic doesn’t mean it should be forgotten. Healthy lungs lead to a long and healthy life.

So while you probably know a thing or two about keeping your heart healthy, what do you know about keeping your lungs healthy? Well, here are a few rules everyone should bear in mind…

1. Get Active

When you are at rest, your lungs are only functioning at about 50% capacity. Aerobic exercise like running, cycling, or swimming push your lungs to peak capacity and strengthen your diaphragm (the muscle responsible for drawing and releasing breath). Doctors also state that more intense activity helps counteract the buildup of pollutants, allergens, and dust in the lungs, helping them to cleanse themselves.

2. Breathe Deeply

Focused, deliberate breathing while at rest also benefits your lungs by expanding them to near full capacity. Mindful breathing starts with slowly inhaling through the nose, lifting your chest, and opening your ribcage. Then, exhale completely through the mouth, relaxing the chest, and pushing out as much air as possible. Good posture, and reducing total sitting time also assists with better breathing form.

3. Don’t Smoke

By now, just about everyone knows the dangers of cigarette smoke. It increases risk for lung cancer and other diseases by destroying lung tissue and introducing free radicals which can cause cell mutation. It constricts air passages and severely reduces lung capacity. It also creates a state of chronic inflammation within the lungs and throughout the body. If you do smoke, quitting isn’t easy, but the benefits are immense. It’s never too late.

4. Avoid Pollution

The tiny tissues deep in the cells of your lungs are actually quite delicate and vulnerable to damage if exposed to pollution and chemicals over an extended period of time. Avoid secondhand smoke, outdoor air pollution, and harmful chemicals at home and work.

5. Eliminate Grocery Store Brand Cleaning Products from Your Home

A recent independent research study has linked common household cleaners—the kind that that are found in grocery stores and big box retailers—to lung damage. The 20-year study found using these products as little as once a week can be as damaging to lungs as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years. Researchers are learning that the damage can be extremely serious. What’s to blame? The study mentions common ingredients like ammonia, chlorine bleach, and quaternary disinfectants. But clearly, there may be other dangerous chemicals at work as well. Virtually every cleaning product you’ll find in the grocery store cleaning aisle uses these toxic ingredients. For a safer home, eliminate all such cleaners from your home now and replace them with the safe, yet effective EcoSense cleaners from Melaleuca.

6. Monitor Radon

Radon is a gas naturally found in some rock and soil. If a home is built on top of an area with radon, it can leak into a home through basement floors or foundations. Trapped inside, it can build up to unhealthy levels. Radon cannot be seen or smelled, and yet because it becomes radioactive as it decays, exposure to high levels can cause lung cancer. in fact, behind smoking, it is the second leading cause of lung cancer. To detect radon in your home, use a radon test kit which are widely available at home improvement stores.

7. Prevent Infection

According to the American Lung Association, colds and other respiratory infections can sometimes become serious. Though some illness is simply a fact of life, there are common sense measures you can take that will benefit your lungs, including:

  • Wash your hands often with soap and water
  • Use a hand sanitizer like Melaleuca’s Clear Defense when you don’t have access to soap and water
  • Get your flu shot every year
  • Minimize interactions with large groups during cold and flu season
  • Keep up on your dental hygiene, including brushing, rinsing, and flossing
  • Give your immune system a fighting chance by providing your body with the essential nutrition it needs for complete health; this includes a healthy diet and supplementation with Melaleuca’s Peak Performance Nutrition Pack

8. See Your Doctor Regularly

In addition to abiding by these rules, regular visits with your general healthcare provider can make sure you live a long, healthy life with a set of healthy, high capacity lungs.

US-Based Sterling Study Confirms the Profound Results of the Freiburg Study!

January 7, 2017 by Melaleuca 1 Comment

Sterling Study Mealeuca

In January 2015, Melaleuca announced the results of a groundbreaking clinical study on the Peak Performance Pack. The effects of a nutritional supplementation pack were tested on healthy individuals over the course of 12 weeks. In healthy participants, free radical activity declined, activity induced inflammation was reduced, and a whole host of additional health benefits were observed—from lower cholesterol and blood pressure to increased energy utilization and healthier blood sugar. This is the first time in history that a nutritional supplement has produced this type of result. While the results were profound, Melaleuca made it clear that the Freiburg Study was just the first study and that more clinical studies would follow.

Exactly two years later, Melaleuca has completed a follow-up study—this time at the Sterling Research Group in Cincinnati, Ohio—and the results clearly confirm the initial results of the Freiburg Study.

What was different about the Sterling Study?

While both the Freiburg Study and Sterling Study followed similar protocols, the populations of the two studies were drastically different. While both were comprised of healthy individuals with no known diseases, their starting variables were different. While all the participants in the Freiburg Study were Caucasian, approximately half of Sterling Study participants were of African American or Asian descent.

Powerful, unparalleled results add more life to your years

Free radicals and activity induced inflammation have been shown to contribute to overall health concerns. The Sterling Study provided additional evidence that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of the Peak Performance Pack substantially reduce free radical activity and activity induced inflammation in our bodies.

Reducing these two key factors—free radicals and activity induced inflammation—was critical to creating the substantial improvements that were seen in other major health markers.

What does the Sterling Study mean for you?

The Sterling Study only strengthens the value and validity of the Freiburg Study. It gives us a more complete picture of how the entire healthy population responds to the Peak Performance Pack. Both studies demonstrated that the Peak Performance Pack moved participants closer to the ideal health state in numerous key health markers. More importantly, both studies also showed that healthy participants who were farthest from the ideal state saw the biggest improvements.

Conclusion

Even with a change in population, the Sterling Study concluded that participants saw the same improvements to health as those who participated in the Freiburg Study. Whoever you are, wherever you live, the Peak Performance Pack can have a direct impact on your health, your physical performance, and quality of your life.*

A supplement with results you can measure in as little as 60 minutes? That’s the Peak Performance Difference.

December 8, 2016 by Melaleuca 8 Comments

60-minute-runner_body

 

That’s the Peak Performance Difference.

There is no question that Americans are seeking better health. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show that 53% of adults take a nutritional supplement daily. That adds up to over $5.7 billion every year. But are we getting our money’s worth? Numerous studies have begun to question the value of traditional multivitamin/multi-mineral supplements.

 

Don’t Leave Your Health to Chance

Melaleuca has been of the forefront of nutritional science for decades, so when they developed the Peak Performance Pack, it was only natural that they put the supplements to the test. Melaleuca commissioned the Freiburg study to determine the effects of the Peak Performance Pack on people. The first-of-its-kind study measured more than 25 key health markers in humans, including difficult to obtain data like resistance to induced inflammation and free radical levels, which help paint a more detailed picture of the effect of supplements on overall health. And the results were nothing short of profound.

 

Benefits in as Little as 60 minutes

For nearly a century, supplement manufacturers have been saying that the benefits of nutritional supplements are strictly long range—that the true benefits of the nutrition they offer will take years to truly manifest. Melaleuca’s Peak Performance Pack appears to break that mold. The Freiburg Study shows that many of the significant benefits of the Peak Performance Pack are measurable in the body in as little as one hour! Think about that—your health begins to improve within just 60 minutes, even if you consider yourself already healthy!

Within 60 minutes, Freiburg Study participants saw the following improvements:

  • 10% reduction in free radical activity*
  • 27% reduction in blood sugar*
  • 35.8% improvement in resistance to inflammation*

 

Even Greater Improvements Over Time

While the results after 60 minutes were impressive, the Freiburg study also measured participants after 6 and 12 weeks of continuous Peak Performance Pack use. Even greater improvements were seen after 6 weeks of taking the pack, and the greatest level of improvement was observed after taking the pack for 12 weeks.* For complete study results, visit FreiburgStudy.com
Some of the key indicators of health measured include the following:

  • Free radical activity
  • Cholesterol
  • Blood fat
  • Blood pressure
  • C-reactive protein (heart health)
  • Heart rate
  • Glucose levels
  • Inflammation

 

Powered by Oligo®

Melaleuca’s nutritional philosophy has always been to address basic nutrition first. That’s why the Peak Performance Pack is powered by Oligo.

Oligo is the only mineral delivery system that delivers minerals to the body in the same form they’re found in plants, by binding them with proteins and fibers. This provides superior mineral absorption and maximum antioxidant protection. The minerals processed with Oligo technology undoubtedly played an important role in the results of the Freiburg Study.*
