Natren Probiotics - Review and Giveaway

a variety of Natren Probiotics for the entire family

Whether they're sharing an ice cream cone with the dog or eating gum off the sidewalk, kids can get into "uh oh" situations that can lead to digestive upset or illness. After all, kids will be kids, but isn't that what makes being a kid so much fun? Fortunately, Natren has them covered! Natren Probiotics has a line especially for children, and their products are proven to help reduce occasional digestive upset and support your kids' natural defenses. So kids can have fun while keeping their tummies happy and trouble-free.  Natren is acclaimed by the medical world as an outstanding probiotic product for toddlers and growing children.

Good bacteria, known as probiotics, can help eliminate the bad bacteria that cause stomach distress.  Probiotics support a child's health by creating the proper balance between good and bad bacteria in their digestive tract.  Research has shown that good bacteria can alleviate occasional digestive distress while supporting a child's natural defenses.  When kids feel good, they do amazing things!

For those who are unfamiliar with probiotics and its benefits, countless clinical studies have shown a balanced gut to be directly or indirectly helpful in broad health conditions and specific digestive conditions ranging from skin problems and fatigue to heartburn and indigestion.

Natren, Inc. is the leading manufacturer of pharmaceutical grade quality probiotics.  In addition to providing probiotics for toddlers and children, they also offer them for women, men, and pets.  One system that they carry is the Healthy Start System that is suitable for adults and children age 8 and older.  Powder probiotic options are available for younger children.

The Healthy Start System is a box containing three bottles, each one with a different, gentle serving of one probiotic super strain.  Natren keeps each bacteria species in the Healthy Start System® in separate bottles to guarantee probiotic product potency.  A 30-day supply is available for $51.95.

The Healthy Start System contains three powerful strains that support relief from occasional gas, bloating and indigestion.  It also helps with regularity, proper nutrient absorption, and digestion of complex carbohydrates and proteins.

With the Healthy Start System, you are to take one pill from each bottle once a day.  They may be taken all together.  Or Step 1 can be taken in the morning, Step 2 at noon, and Step 3 in the evening.  It is recommended to take the capsules before meals to optimize digestion and take them at least two hours apart from herbs, garlic and prescription medication.  It is also recommended that you take the capsules with unchilled, filtered (chlorine free) water.  That's because the chlorine and fluoride in tap water can harm the beneficial bacteria in the probiotics.  

Natren is different in other probiotic companies in that they package their products in dark glass bottles with tin lids to protect them from harmful light and moisture.  The products are shipped in thermally controlled boxes to keep them cool and extend their lives so they have guaranteed potency through the printed expiration date.  Natrene recommends that their probiotics be refrigerated to keep them at max potency.

I've had digestive issues since I was a junior in high school.  My gut has hated me most of my life.  I do take a prescription pill that has alleviated some symptoms but I also take OTC probiotics. By taking the three capsules daily in the Healthy Start System, I've noticed that I'm more "regular" and I'm not near as bloated.  

I won't make any medical claims regarding the probiotic capsules and I can't guarantee they'll solve your problems.  I recommend seeing a medical doctor or specialist if you have digestive issues or medical problems.  What I can say is that I'll continue taking Natren Probiotics because I've seen a positive change in how my digestive system works.
