What Are Your Kids Eating?
According to a recent study, most kids consume 25% of their calories in the form of junk food.
• French fries were found to be the number one vegetable source in children’s diets.
• Soft-drink consumption among children has more than doubled since the late 1970s. Most 8-year olds consume soft drinks every single day, and the phosphorus in these beverages can leach calcium out of bones.
• Hot dogs, cookies, and sweetened beverages are among the Top 10 most common foods consumed by infants and toddlers ages 4–24 months.
Nutrition Your Kids Can Count On

Whatever your little superhero is up to, count on Shakleekids to deliver nutrition their growing bodies need. So they can outrun, outsmart, and outshine.
Incredivites™ Supernutrition for Superkids
The First Kids’ Chewable Multivitamin with Lactoferrin in the U.S.
Found in breast milk and—in much lower concentrations—cow’s milk, lactoferrin has been shown to support a healthy immune system and has been researched for its role in activating components of the immune system.* However, because of modern filtering processes, most of the lactoferrin is removed from cow’s milk, and getting the benefits of this remarkable nutrient from food is virtually impossible. There is NO detectable amount of lactose in Incredivites™.
50% More Vitamin D, 100% More Calcium
Compared to a leading brand, Incredivites contains 50% more vitamin D and 100% more calcium—both of which are crucial, bone-supporting nutrients. And it’s not just any form of vitamin D—it’s vitamin D3, the most bio-available form. That’s good news considering the American Academy of Pediatrics recently doubled for kids its recommended daily vitamin D intake.
Multivitamin/Multimineral Dietary Supplement
· Contains lactoferrin, a nutrient also found naturally in breast milk and researched for its role in activating components of the immune system*. (There is NO detectable amount of lactose in Incredivites™)
· Packed with 600 IU of vitamin D per serving for strong bones and teeth.
· Provides 100% of the Daily Value of vitamin C, as well as all eight B vitamins, which are essential for a child's development and the function of major bodily processes.
· No artificial flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives added.
· Naturally sweetened with xylitol, which does not promote cavities.
· Gluten free
· All-natural tropical punch, grape, and berry flavors.
Kids Need Vitamin D
· Fifty-five percent of children tested in a study reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition had low levels of vitamin D. That number increased to 68% during the winter months because of lack of sun exposure and an increase in the amount of time spent indoors. Findings such as these have inspired the American Academy of Pediatrics to double for kids its recommended daily intake of this essential bone-building and immune-supporting nutrient.
· During childhood, vitamin D is essential for development of bones and teeth. Without it, dietary calcium and phosphorous-two key bone-building minerals-can't be properly assimilated. With vitamin D present, calcium and phosphorous absorption is increased by up to 40% and 80%, respectively.

Mighty Smart™ The smart, organic† choice!
DOUBLE the DHA Concentration for Mighty Brains and Eyes
Each Mighty Smart chew contains 100 mg of DHA from a concentrated form of omega-3 oil that is composed of 80%
DHA—TWICE the concentration of standard fish oils. DHA is essential for proper early brain development and eye health.
Ultra-Pure, 100% Safe
Certified by Quality Assurance International, Mighty Smart is 75% organic and made from the best fish oil. What’s more, No expense was spared in the painstaking process to make Mighty Smart so pure.
Wowzer! DHA makes up about 97% of all the omega-3 fatty acids in the brain—and 93% in the retina. The brain needs DHA to work!
A child’s brain forms not millions or billions, but TRILLIONS of cell connections during the first decade of life. That’s super cool!
· Supplies ultra-pure DHA to support early brain and eye development
· DHA is obtained from omega-3 oil that meets Shaklee's high standards for purity and potency
· 75% organic
· No artificial colors, sweeteners, or preservatives
· Natural orange flavor
· Gluten free
Proper Brain Development Starts Early
· By age 5, a child’s brain is 3.5 times larger than it was at birth.
· DHA supports brain health and normal cognitive function, including memory, focus, concentration, and attention.
· At birth, DHA makes up about 97% of all the omega-3 fatty acids in the brain-and 93% in the retina. To help maintain these levels, kids should consume DHA on a regular basis.
Fish Is the Main Source of DHA, But . . .
· Eating large amounts of certain types of fish may be dangerous. According to the Food and Drug Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency, some fish contain mercury and other contaminants that may affect brain and neurological development in young children. Supplementation with an ultra-pure source is a safe way to increase DHA intake.
· Foods that are rich in DHA include sardines, tuna, and organ meats such as liver-all of which are foods that kids in the U.S. generally don’t like.
Is Your Child Eating the Right Foods?
· The World Health Organization, Institute of Medicine-Food and Nutrition Board, and the American Heart Association all have recently called for increased consumption of omega-3 fatty acids, including DHA, because of their positive effects on health.
· Most children do not get enough DHA from diet alone. Studies in the U.S. have found that the majority get only 20-40 mg a day

Did You Know?
• During the past 25 years, consumption of milk—the largest dietary source of calcium—has decreased 36% among adolescent girls.15
• The American Academy of Pediatrics recently doubled its daily vitamin D intake recommendations for babies, children, and adolescents, and recommends supplementation because most children do not get enough from diet alone.
• Children who consume fast food have higher intakes of fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium—and lower intakes of fiber, calcium, and iron—than those children who do not eat fast food.
• Breakfast is an important meal for growing children, yet many children skip breakfast. Studies have documented a significant and positive relationship between eating breakfast and school performance.
• The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Environmental Protection Agency advise pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children to avoid some types of fish because they are high in mercury, which makes getting adequate amounts of DHA through the diet alone more difficult.
