I’ve sung the praises of BIORAY Kids formulas for a while now. Their products have really helped my kids. I most recently shared about how Focus helps kids, well, focus, and today I’m going to share about how their Belly Balance formula makes it easy to get good bacteria into your kiddos.

Why good bacteria is so important
Our bodies and guts contain millions of bacteria- some good, some bad. Ideally, the good bacteria outnumber the bad and keep them in check. However, today’s modern lifestyle: junk food, poor quality water and air, and the general chemical soup we all swim in daily, make the ideal gut bacteria balance difficult.
It is more necessary than ever for our kids to take a probiotic regularly. In fact, in my experience, a good probiotic will always be an essential supplement for most people, as it is unlikely to completely reverse gut flora damage once and be done with it.
What is a probiotic?
Most of us are familiar with probiotics: supplements with various good bacteria that help to correct imbalanced gut flora.
Probiotics:
- replenish good bacteria
- keep bad bacteria in check
- improve digestion
- heal intestinal abnormalities
- support immune health
- balance the gut
When all of these things occur, thanks to a good probiotic, any number of ailments can begin to heal as well. My son had a complete reversal of eczema simply by using a good probiotic!
How gut flora imbalance affects children’s health
When a child’s gut flora becomes imbalanced, not only is their gut affected, their entire body is vulnerable to sickness and disease. Because a majority of the immune system resides in the gut, when the gut flora is imbalanced, the immune system is compromised.
Not only is the immune system dependent on healthy gut flora, but gut flora imbalance is also responsible for:
- chronic and acute illness
- digestive disorders, ranging from constipation and diarrhea, to more serious conditions like Chron’s and IBS
- skin conditions like eczema
- behavioral and developmental disorders
- delayed speech
- and more.
Because of the constant assault on our children’s bodies via food, water, air, cleaning products, fragrances, heavy metals, and other toxins, the above conditions are rather common, unfortunately.
When our children’s bodies have so much to contend with in today’s world, it’s imperative to make sure we’re making every effort to restore and maintain healthy gut flora.
How Belly Balance helps to restore and protect children’s gut flora
Belly Balance, one of the fabulous products formulated just for children by BIORAY Kids, is a probiotic lysate, as well as toxin remover. It gives kids’ bodies what they need to thrive despite the toxins they’re exposed to.
Belly Balance features a powerful combination of probiotic strains, which bolster the immune system, promote micro flora balance within the intestines, aid digestion, assist in removal of bad bugs, relieve constipation, and alleviate food allergies. The hardy probiotic strains are formulated to bypass the acidic conditions of the stomach so that they are able to move through the digestive tract.
In addition to probiotics, Belly Balance also includes BIORAY’s signature NDF formula (natural detox factors), made up of micronized chlorella, which sticks to heavy metals, chemicals, and pesticides to carry them safely out of the body.
Because BIORAY knows it’s important to easily get these important nutrients into children’s bodies, their supplements are specially formulated with kids in mind: the liquid formula is super simple to squirt in a little juice or water, plus each kids formula has a unique, kid-friendly flavor, like berry (Belly Balance’s flavor), vanilla, citrus, and peach.
My kids enjoy the flavor of Belly Balance, and I’ve found it so convenient to give it to them along with their other BIORAY supplements.
BIORAY Kids formulas are also:
What makes Belly Balance different: Belly Balance is a probiotic lysate, which means the probiotic strains are dead, and as such, do not colonize. Instead, they actively work to rid the gut of unwanted toxins and organisms. Not only that, but they are specially formulated to support healthy immune function. “Lysing the cell wall of beneficial bacteriocin, a substance produced by the bacteria that is toxic to similar bacterial strains, releases vital immune enhancing nutrients from the cell wall and cytoplasm, and drives pathogenic bacteria out of the GI and colon.” (source)
These probiotic lysates work synergistically with chlorella to promote healthy immune function, because probiotic lysates cl
Probiotic lysates are different because, although they don’t colonize like live probiotics, they are very effective at changing the gut flora terrain. They sweep the gut clear or unwanted organisms so that live probiotics can colonize later. I’ve been fascinated to learn more about lysates and how they can be an amazing tool for healing the gut.
One study found that children taking lysates had tremendously improved speech and demeanor. According to Dr. Elin Ritchie of Taos, N.M., who has used lysates to effectively treat cases of cold and flu, and even cancer, using an immune-boosting probiotic lysate, “Comparing a live probiotic and a lysed one, in terms of immune system support, is like comparing a match to a blowtorch.” (source)
Bellow Balance:
- Pushes bad bugs out of the gastrointestinal tract and bowel
- Has trace minerals, vitamins, RNA/DNA
- Is the first probiotic lysate liquid
- Supports immunity (IgA)
- Restores gut integrity (IgM)
- Safely removes heavy metals and chemicals.
