The elderberry (Sambucus nigra) has a long history of traditional use in central Europe, especially in the Swiss Alps region where it has been prized for centuries for its ability to support the immune system. Sambu Guard For Kids offers a combination of wild-grown elderberries, elder flowers, and other immune-enhancing ingredients.* Each of the ingredients in Sambu Guard For Kids has been selected because of the specific function it contributes to the formula, and for its ability to work synergistically with the others for maximum effect. A must-have for every household, Sambu Guard For Kids helps to support a strong immune response when taken at the first sign of symptoms. Unlike the regular formula, Sambu Guard For Kids is prepared without honey or fructose, making it more suitable for younger children, and it has added pear juice and natural raspberry flavor so kids will enjoy the delicious, fruity taste.
Key Features
RESEARCH FINDINGS
Sambu®Guard For Kids has not been the subject of any clinical trials but elderberry, echinacea purpurea, and vitamin C individually have. Elderberry has shown to be safe and effective in clinical trials (1). *
The anthocyanin flavonoids in elderberry seem to be the main active ingredients that support a strong immune response (2, 3).*

Epresat® Multivitamins for Easy Absorption
How effective is your daily multivitamin? Did you know that digesting solid vitamins can be difficult? The elderly and the chronically ill simply do not have enough stomach acid to carry out this process. As a result--tablets, capsules and chewable vitamins often exit the body undigested, providing very little benefit.
Epresat® is an easy-to-absorb liquid multivitamin that supplies 8 essential vitamins in a delicious natural concentrate. This formula helps to maintain health of eyesight, night vision, immune function, membrane, skin, bones, teeth, cartilages and gums.

ASSISTS WITH:
Flax-O-Mega® capsules are cold-pressed from certified organic flax seeds to provide the Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) required for optimal health.
Omega-3 and omega-6 EFAs are necessary for the normal functioning of every cell, tissue, gland and organ. Since the body cannot make EFAs on its own, they must come from foods or dietary supplements.
Because omega-6s are found in a wide variety of foods, most people consume adequate amounts of this essential fatty acid. In fact, many people overindulge in foods that contain omega-6s. These items include polyunsaturated vegetable oils made from safflower, sunflower, soybean, sesame, pumpkin, wheat germ, corn, cottonseed, walnut and wheat germ. Seeds and nuts are rich in omega-6s and so are most meats, fast foods and snack foods.
Omega-3s are more likely to be lacking in the average person’s diet, because there are relatively few foods that contain these important foundational fats. Dietary sources include oils from fish as well as some plants and nuts. Omega-3s are found in oil from halibut, salmon, sardines, mackerel and tuna. Vegetable oils, such as soybean, olive, canola and flax seed contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid.
Flax oil is one of the richest sources of omega-3s. It is also less expensive and does not contain environmental toxins as is often the case with fish.
The effects of Omega-3 deficiency include:

Holy Basil, which is also known as tulsi, is the most sacred herb in Indian culture. It has been used for thousands of years and has played a key role in the Ayurvedic healing tradition. It has been used both to aid digestion, and as a heart tonic. It is referred to as “Nature’s elixir of life.”
In Hinduism, Holy Basil is also considered to be a sacred herb. In fact, Tulsi is Sanskrit for "the incomparable one.” It is commonly found in many homes and temples and is traditionally used to open the heart and mind and to aid meditation.
Holy Basil is an adaptogen, meaning that it helps balance various processes within the body and helps it to cope with stress.

Because of poor eating habits, daily stress and the average modern diet that consists of too many nutrient-depleted processed foods, it is wise to supplement with Flora™ MULTI CAPS on a daily basis.
Traditionally our competitors prepare materials for tablets and capsules with Wet Bed Granulation, a process that requires the use of alcohol solvents and high temperature drying to achieve the necessary material characteristics.
Flora™ eliminates the need for this potentially destructive process by using Dry Bed Granulation, which allows the solids to dissolve faster so that the active compounds are released more efficiently. And because no moisture is involved in the process, the quality of the B vitamins is better preserved.
Easy to absorb, Flora™ MULTI CAPS are designed to ensure exceptional bioavailability of nutrients such as vitamin C, D3, E and many B vitamins as well as calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc.

Flora Super Children's Probiotic
$ 17.22
Specially Formulated Blend for Kids
Designed for children age 4 and up, Udo’s Choice® Super Children’s Probiotic
contains 7 strains of medicinal probiotic bacteria that correspond with your child’s natural healthy microflora.
World-renowned nutrition expert Udo Erasmus has created 7 different formulas to provide the right probiotic supplement for every member of the family. The type and amount of probiotic bacterial strains needed for best results will change at different stages of life and under different health conditions.
Udo’s Choice® Probiotic Blends are best taken after meals. All of the bacterial strains chosen have been specially developed and tested for their gastric resistance. Unlike the live bacterial content of many foods being marketed today, the probiotic strains in Udo’s blends are able to survive the stomach acids to reach the intestinal tract at full potency.
Why do we need probiotic supplements?
While most people assume they have a healthy intestinal tract, lifestyle and environmental factors can compromise the digestive system. This allows undesirable bacteria to take hold and cause problems. Such factors may include poor eating habits, chlorinated drinking water, stress, the use of antibiotics in food production and medical treatments, and a number of other factors, including health problems and simply aging, which can greatly reduce the number of friendly bacteria in the body.
When the ratio of good bacteria to bad is out of balance, problems begin to arise such as poor absorption of nutrients and intestinal toxicity. This can result in gas, bloating, diarrhea and constipation, among other discomforts. If this imbalance is left untreated, the symptoms can become chronic and can compromise the immune system and lead to other serious health concerns.
