greens+ kids

Introducing a whole new way to get kids to eat their greens (not to mention their oranges, purples and reds!). The makers of greens+, the most award-winning supplement in North America, are pleased to announce the arrival of greens+ kids.

This is a unique formula, designed by Sam Graci with one goal in mind – increasing children’s intake of valuable vitamins, minerals and plant nutrients through a supplemental source of antioxidant- and nutrient-rich fruits, veggies and other natural ingredients. Parents are only too familiar with how difficult it is to get children to eat properly - with the equivalent of 1.5 kg of fruit and vegetables in every bottle, greens+ kids provides a healthy solution that kids will love!

The results of research into the dietary intake of children highlight the importance of this new product. These facts are astonishing, yet true.

• Fried potatoes account for between 25-50% of all vegetables consumed by children.
• When fried vegetables are excluded, 30% of children consume less than one serving of vegetables per day.
• Only 7% of children consume the recommended three or more servings of vegetables and two or more servings of fruit daily.
• Half of all children consume less than one serving of fruit per day, and consumption of organic fruits and veggies is even lower.
• Fermented yogurt, which provides beneficial bacteria, is consumed by less than 1% of children.
• Intake of high fat, high sugar snacks and carbonated beverages have significantly increased in recent years. Fruit and vegetables are rarely consumed as snacks.
• Due to lack of fruit and vegetable intake, children frequently have inadequate levels of a number of essential nutrients. This adversely affects growth, behaviour and learning ability.

Fruits, Vegetables and Health

We believe that prevention is better than a cure. The age-old advice by parents to “eat your veggies” is validated by modern science. There are health consequences resulting from low fruit and vegetable intake; childhood dietary choices can have an effect not only on their present health, but also on their life-long resistance to disease and aging.

The need for a special product designed to supplement the diet of children in order to promote immediate and long-term health is clear.

greens+ kids: The Solution

Despite strong educational programs and the desires of parents, it is obvious that children are not eating enough fruits and vegetables. While there are a number of supplements for children, greens+ kids is the only one combining a unique blend of fruits, vegetables, plant nutrients, non-dairy bacterial cultures for immune and gastrointestinal health, and brain-boosting phosphatidyl choline.

The same basic principle that led Sam Graci to the formulate greens+ is evident in this product designed specially for kids – a more colourful diet is a healthier diet. The nutrients found in a diet containing a variety of fruits and vegetables are essential for childhood growth and development as well as future disease prevention.

greens+ kids is an excellent source of healthy phytonutrients (plant nutrients). These phytonutrients act as antioxidants and have other health benefits due to their high levels of a specific group of compounds called polyphenols. Polyphenols occur in many fruits and vegetables, giving plants their brilliant colours ranging from pink through scarlet, purple and blue.

Polyphenols include flavonoids, anthocyanins, anthocyanidins and many other beneficial compounds. These are important plant nutrients known for their great antioxidant activity, directly measurable by a standardized and widely recognized scientific method called the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC). greens+ kids has an ORAC score equivalent to 3 servings of fruit and vegetables, indicating that it supplies a significant portion of their daily antioxidant supply.

Science has shown that plant based antioxidant vitamins and phytonutrients act in synergy to prevent oxidation – this complementary effect is demonstrated by research showing that the antioxidant potential of a combination formula is greater than the sum of just two single antioxidants taken together. This is why greens+ kids includes a wide variety of fruits and vegetables to ensure a synergistic and healthful effect.

Helpful hint

Just one serving of greens+ kids supplies plenty of these important polyphenols; on poor diet days (we all have them) give your children greens+ kids again at dinner for added protection.

Colour your diet

The colourful blend of ingredients in greens+ kids can help provide what is missing from the average childhood diet. Kids will love the great taste and will enjoy watching it turn purple in water. Because of the natural Berrylicious™ flavour, kids are amazed that they are actually having vegetables (and you don’t have to tell them). Unlike the fruit-like beverages commonly consumed by children that are nothing more than sugar, water and artificial colours, greens+ kids gets its purple colour from the natural, health-promoting phytonutrients found in blueberries, grapes and elderberries. Even some of the veggies are purple - purple carrots have been grown for centuries and are said to be even healthier than their orange counterparts due to the anthocyanin content.

Additionally, our rainbow+™ fruit and veggie blend is an entirely organic mixture of 25 fruits and vegetables from every colour of the rainbow. We carefully selected the included ingredients to cover a wide range of colours, nutrients and health benefits. From kale to sweet potatoes to mangoes, this blend includes ingredients from every area of produce. All of these organic fruits and veggies were grown without the use of herbicides, pesticides and fungicides. The 500mg of rainbow+™ found in each bottle is produced without the use of heat, chemicals or solvents from 1.5kg of raw fruit, with only the water removed. The result – a unique, concentrated, pure source of the goodness found in a rainbow of fruits and vegetables that you can’t get your kids to eat!

The rainbow of colours found in the ingredients in greens+ kids have complementary phytochemicals and when combined together can act in synergy to help support optimal health – now and in the future.

greens+ kids is a safe and easy way to supplement your kids’ diets with the nutrients and phytonutrients found in the much-needed fruits and vegetables that they typically refuse to eat. Naturopathic doctors have approved all of the pre-measured ingredient levels as safe, even if taken on a regular basis once or more daily.

We believe that what is not in a formula is as important as what is in a formula with regard to proper health promotion. That is why every bottle of greens+ kids contains no artificial sweeteners, flavours or colours and the ingredients are organic and non-GMO (non-genetically modified organisms)*. Every ingredient has been carefully selected for inclusion in the formula based on quality, unique benefits, and its part in the synergistic whole that is greens+ kids. Our strict quality controls are in place testing for microorganisms, heavy metals and pesticides thus ensuring the final product is safe, effective and free of contaminants. Produced in a pharmaceutically licensed Good Manufacturing Practices facility (cGMP), greens+ kids is the epitome of quality, effectiveness, safety and purity. When it comes to your children, only the best will do.

Ingredient Information

Directions

Add one scoop of greens+ kids to half a cup of juice or water. Shake or stir well.

Note: greens+ kids allows peace of mind for parents, knowing that children are getting a good source of nutrients each day. greens+ kids was not formulated to treat disease but rather to supplement nutrients and phytochemicals consumed through healthy eating and living.

Fun, Fast and Fantastic

greens+ kids provides a safe and easy way to get good nutrition into your child daily. Use it as a juice fortifier for a boost to your child’s morning drink. And again at lunch or dinner if your kids have had a day dominated by junk food. Let them mix it up themselves in our fun shaker cup made just for kids (free from your local retailer with greens+ kids purchase). The natural berry taste and purple colour are good in water, but can easily be hidden by juice. We conducted many surveys with boys and girls across Canada and found the flavour and colour were preferred in water or orange juice, but apple juice and grape juice were also liked. So whatever your child’s preference, give yourself peace of mind by giving them greens+ kids daily.
