Vidazorb- Review and Giveaway
October 25, 2010 by 24 Comments
Hey all! Travel can take it’s toll on one’s tummy…that’s why I am so glad I found Vidazorb! What’s Vidazorb, you ask? It’s a chewable probiotic. No, it’s not yogurt, and you don’t need to refrigerate as you do with so many probiotics.
VIDAZORB: Your Chewable Probiotic
Convenient. Non-refrigerated. Three year shelf stability.
Safe, effective and rigorously tested.
Great tasting Vidazorb chewable probiotics help maintain digestive health and overall wellness. Belly Boost™ specially formulated for children.
I was sent Belly Boost to try out. Many of you know that my Little Man has some digestive issues, as well as an eczema-like skin condition. I have to use a special cream on him at least once a day, and lotion him 3-5 times a day. He has been to a pediatric gastroenterologist for over 2 years now. We finally figured out his gastro issue, and he has been on several medications trying to regulate it. None are fun. My poor Little Man!
So, when we had the chance to review Belly Boost I was thrilled!
FOR KIDS’ EVERYDAY DIGESTIVE SUPPORT
Children’s chewable probiotics in fun Zorbee character shapes, for healthy digestion and nutrient absorption in children aged 4 and up, with Bifidobacterium, BB-12 (5 billion CFU) and S. thermophilus, TH-4 (5 billion CFU)
Address the digestive and immune system needs of children with Vidazorb Belly Boost. Clinically substantiated Bifidobacterium, BB-12 and S. thermophilus, TH-4 are especially kid-friendly and work together to support the wellness needs of little ones. Beneficial probiotic bacteria are essential in helping maintain overall health.*
90 Chewable Tablets
Serving Size: 1 chewable tablet
Directions: For adults and children 4 or more years of age, take 1 chewable tablet 3 times daily, preferably with meals.
Other ingredients: Mannitol, Crospovidone, Sorbitol, Lactitol, Magnesium Stearate, Natural Color, Natural Flavor, Silicon Dioxide, Sucralose
As the nervous mother I can be, I scheduled an appointment with his Dr. If she said no, Kamikaze would have been the “tester”. But she said yes, go ahead!
We have tried acidophilus as well as many other kinds of natural products for my Little, nothing really worked. After just 3 days of Belly Boost, I noticed a difference. My sweetie could potty! (I know, gross- but has your [Read more…]
Hyland’s Teething Tablets Recall!
October 25, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Yesterday the FDA recommended that parents stop using Hyland’s Teething Tablets. The Standard Homeopathic Company also announced that it is voluntarily recalling its Hyland’s Teething Tablets based on the FDA’s concerns and to examine its manufacturing process.Homeopathic Products
Homeopathy is quite different from traditional medicine. The National Center for Homeopathy describes homeopathy as:
Homeopathy is a system of medical therapy that uses very small doses of medicines, or remedies. These remedies are prepared from substances found in nature. Nevertheless, homeopathy should not be confused with herbal medicine. These two systems of medicine are very different. Herbal medicine uses tinctures of botanical substances, whereas homeopaths use ultradilute “micro”doses made from not only plants, but minerals or any other substance found in nature.
Homeopathic products, like Hyland’s Teething Tablets, are not reviewed by the FDA for safety or efficacy unless there are complaints about safety. Hyland’s Teething Tablets are very popular with parents and have a lot of anecdotal evidence of effectiveness, but don’t have any major clinical trials showing that they work or are safe. Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database, a highly respective resource used by physicians and pharmacists, rates Hyland’s Teething Tablets as a 5 (neither safe and effective or unsafe and ineffective) based on known studies.
Regarding this recall, The Standard Homeopathic Company states:
After in-depth analysis, a comprehensive [Read more…]
