Starting daycare or heading back to school is an exciting time for kids, but it often comes with an unwanted challenge—exposure to germs. The close contact, shared toys, and new environments can lead to a revolving door of sniffles, coughs, and tummy troubles. Fortunately, there are ways to support your child’s immune system to help them stay healthy and bounce back faster when illness strikes.

Why Do Kids Get Sick So Often?

Young immune systems are still developing, making children more susceptible to infections. Common colds, ear infections, and tummy bugs spread easily in daycare and school settings, especially among younger children who are still learning good hygiene habits.

Strengthening Immunity with Probiotics

A strong immune system starts in the gut. Probiotics, like those found in Activated Probiotic’s Biome Daily Kids, play a crucial role in supporting both gut and immune health. 

Activated Probiotic’s Biome Daily Kids is especially designed for children and has been clinically trialled to:

• Support immune health, reducing the occurrence and duration of common colds
• Ease side effects when taken with antibiotics
• Support gut health, helping with constipation, diarrhoea, and tummy aches.

Activated Probiotic’s Biome Daily Kids comes in a delicious, sugar-free sachet that can be poured directly into your child’s mouth—making it easy and fuss-free! For younger children (6 months to 2 years), it can also be mixed into food or drinks. 

Other Ways to Keep Kids Healthy

Along with probiotics, here are some key ways to support your child’s immune system:

• Encourage Handwashing: Teach proper handwashing habits to reduce germ spread.

• Prioritise Sleep: A well-rested body is better equipped to fight off infections.

• Offer Nutrient-Dense Foods: A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and protein provides essential vitamins and minerals for immune function.

• Stay Active: Regular physical activity helps strengthen the immune system.

Encourage your children to get into good hygiene habits when they are young will help reduce the impact of any new germs they come across during their day!
