Supporting Kids Health With Gut & Immune Supplements

I received this product for free from Moms Meet in exchange for my honest review. Compensation for this post was provided and this page may contain affiliate links.

Health and wellness is a regular part of my family's daily routine. Although we focus on a healthy diet and daily exercise, we boost our immune systems with vitamins and supplements. Right now, my kids are using Gut Connection Kids from Country Life!

Did you know that 70% of the immune system resides in the gut? That's why a balanced microbiome is so important! Gut Connection Kids is one of the first children's supplements to contain Epicor Whole Food Fermentate prebiotic which was clinically studied and shown to improve gut microbiome health.

Every child has unique needs, and it's definitely true with my five kids! Gut Connection Kids has a variety of formulas to support their growing bodies and individual needs. Several formulas have become a regular part of our daily wellness routine! Read on to find out what my kids are taking, and how you can win a supplement of your own to try!

GUT CONNECTION KIDS FROM COUNTRY LIFE

Immune Balance

Every child needs a little immune support from time to time, especially during the school year, when they are exposed to more germs. You can easily help support their immune system with this great tasting polar bear-shaped chewable.  The Epicor® yeast fermentate provides fast acting immune support within 2 hours! 

Cognitive Balance

This elephant-shaped chewable is also a great addition to the back to school routine! It can help with focus, attention, and memory. The product contains ingredients that help kids stay focused while supporting gut and immune health.

Digestive Balance

This variety can help ease upset tummies, bloating, and infrequent bowel movements. These hippo shaped chewables are fun, and also help support a healthy immune system.

Sleep Balance

How many of us need sleep help with our kids at times?!? This chocolate-flavored powder is free of melatonin, and can easily be added to a drink or a snack before bed. It helps kids fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer!

Both Liam and Lily are taking Immune Balance daily, and I recently added Sleep Balance to Liam's bedtime routine. We slacked on our daily supplements while we were on vacation, and paid the price when we all came down with a cold! We're all trying to get our bodies back on track. 

My kids started taking Immune Balance right after they came down with colds, and they really seemed to bounce back quickly. They were all feeling better in just a few days! I really do think the immune support helped.

Liam was also struggling a bit with getting back into a good bedtime routine following vacation, so I started putting Sleep Balance in his milk before bed. (It's also great in a chocolate peanut butter smoothie!) It really does seem to be helping! He is falling asleep quickly, and is sleeping through the night again!

A few more things worth noting:

• Liam loved the cute animal shapes!
• The chewables were easy to take, and my kids didn't complain about taking them.
• Lily said they tasted really good. (I tried them, and they aren't bad!)
• Liam isn't deterred by the flavor of his milk when I add in the sleep balance powder, and he tends to be a bit picky!
