Vidazorb Belly Boost probiotic supplement relieves children from eczema

May 18 2010

May is National Asthma and Allergy Awareness Month and, though many parents deal with their kids' allergies year-round, it's a time for education on the subject. One allergic reaction to food, fabric, grass, pollen, environmental factors, etc. is eczema, which recent statistics show develops in one out of ten children before the age of five. Intolerable itching caused by Eczema can lead children to scratch themselves until their skin is red with sores, sometimes to the point of bleeding, but parents are starting to look toward probiotic supplements, like Vidazorb®, to ease their children's pain.

“Our four-year-old son suffered from such bad eczema and food allergies that we had to tape his pajamas to his wrists and ankles to keep him from scratching himself”

"Our four-year-old son suffered from such bad eczema and food allergies that we had to tape his pajamas to his wrists and ankles to keep him from scratching himself," says Lynn Stone, mother of two.

The Stone family visited many specialists who used steroids to treat their son. His eczema got worse and he developed extremely severe food allergies. Fortunately, parents may be able to help lessen the severity of their child's eczema by providing probiotic supplements. Probiotics are desirable microorganisms that, when ingested in adequate amounts, have repeatedly been found to aid good health in children. Vidazorb® Belly Boost™ chewable probiotic formulation may be just what both parents and children are looking for in a solution for eczema.

The results of a study conducted in Finland indicate that probiotics may offset inflammatory responses in places of the body other than the gut, such as eczema on the skin. Half of the infants in this study were given formula supplemented with probiotic strains to measure the impact, if any, on the skin. The other half received unsupplemented formula. Those taking the fortified formula had fewer incidents of eczema and showed better improvement if they already suffered from the condition over the infants who received the unsupplemented formula.

Lynn Stone saw an improvement in her son's condition after just a few days of taking the daily-recommended dose of Belly Boost™ and notes that his eczema symptoms were gone after three months. "We never heard the word 'probiotics' from a medical professional," she says. "I thought we were out of options. I'm so grateful I found Belly Boost™."
