Kids Enzyme Probiotic Chewables

Growing up as a kid, how many times do you remember hearing your Mother say, “Don’t forget to chew your food” why was this so important to her? In short, food that has not been chewed properly can inhibit the digestion process and when this occurs, proper nutrients and energy to the body on a cellular level is lost.

Every day, millions of people pull into drive up windows at their favorite fast food restaurants to feed themselves a quick breakfast, lunch or dinner of processed eggs, chicken nuggets, hamburgers, French fries, tacos or burritos. After all, it’s quick and convenient; yet, not at all healthy. Even if you are eating a nutrient-rich diet, you can still feel the effects of nutritional starvation.

When we peel or cut open a raw vegetable like an apple, banana or potato, they begin to turn brown. This is because their own natural enzymes begin digesting the food. The actual mechanism that causes browning in apples and potatoes involves an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase, also known as tyrosinase and often referred to as the vegetable enzyme as Amylase.

Enzymes are the key ingredients in the processing of the foods that we eat, however, naturally occurring enzymes are destroyed when cooked over 118 degrees Fahrenheit. Due to the destruction of enzymes, a paddle-lock effect has now ‘locked up’ the vitamins and minerals that are in the foods. Without the presence of enzymes there is nothing to break down the fats, proteins, sugars and dairy to convert them into usable nutrients for the body. We need help! Our kids need help! We need to supplement or ‘add back’ enzymes to support proper digestion.

The pancreas is a gland organ in the digestive and endocrine system. It is both an endocrine gland producing several important hormones, including insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin, as well as an exocrine gland, secreting ‘pancreatic juice’ containing digestive enzymes that pass to the small intestine. These enzymes help to further break down the carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. In the long-term, one can actually run the pancreas out of enzymes, which in-turn leads to deficiencies like lactose intolerance, diabetes, and arthritis, cholesterol and fat problems.

To make matters worse is the abuse of Antibiotics in children. The dictionary states that the word Biotic means “having to do with life or living organisms” therefore, Antibiotic simply means ‘against Life’. Antibiotics are administered to destroy the bad bacteria that make us sick, however, antibiotics do not just destroy bad bacteria alone, they also destroy the “Good Bacteria,” also known as Flora, that forms our mucosa lining to protect us from the bad bacteria. Flora, also known as Probiotics are vital for good digestive health. We need to have at least 3 pounds of Probiotics or Flora in our intestines to stay healthy. Without the mucosa lining, we have digestive issues like ulcer’s, constipation, colds, flu, infections, yeast and candida, diarrhea, immune disorders, fibromyalgia and many other issues.
