Allergic diseases such as asthma, allergies and eczema are driven by an overreaction of the immune system.
An allergy occurs when the immune system identifies otherwise common, harmless substances in our environment as foes.
Common allergens include pollen, dust, molds or even food. This sensitivity causes an immune response resulting
in symptoms that range from mild (such as runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing or itching) or severe
(such as hives, trouble breathing or anaphylactic shock).

Typically triggered by allergies, asthma is a condition that causes a tightening and swelling of the airways.
This results in difficulty breathing, wheezing and tightening of the chest and can affect a child’s ability to
participate in normal activities. It is most common in children and can be mild or life-threatening.

Childhood asthma and allergies have become a serious epidemic in children throughout the country.
Pediatric asthma affects 6 million children in the US alone, skyrocketing 160% in the past 15 years.
80% of sufferers develop it before the age of five. It is now one of the most common chronic diseases
that cause children to miss time from school and parents to miss time from work. Allergies and asthma
are thought to be inherited because they commonly develop in those who have a family history. However,
it is possible for anyone to develop these diseases at any age.

Given the prevalence of allergies and asthma, the medical and scientific community is no longer content to
just treat symptoms but have been working hard to find ways in which they can be avoided altogether.
Fortunately, advances and discoveries in the field of immunology, combined with well-designed clinical studies,
offer much promise and reducing children’s risk of developing allergies, asthma and other allergic disorders.
Baby Splendor is proud to team with some of the best doctors and scientists in the country to exclusively bring
you Baby Boost, the first product of its kind that can turn the tide on this epidemic and reduce your child’s
risk of ever developing one of these chronic diseases.
