But it’s important. Just like a car needs clean gas in its engine to run well, people need goodfood to have energy for life. This includes fruits, vegetables, grains, protein and other nutrients. Life gets busy, and often we all reach for something quick and easy instead of making good food choices. Like chips, cookies or something you can microwave in 60 seconds. Most of this stuff has little nutritional value. It just tastes good. But scientists have proven that everyone needs certain vitamins and minerals to stay healthy in life.  So, if we don’t get these from food, where can we get them? Supplements can help, and Nature’s Sunshine supplements are great! Sunshine Heroes are specially designed for kids. They offer a variety of nutrients children need as their bodies grow and develop—vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, antioxidants, probiotics and more. And they taste so good, kids love to eat them! Multiple Vitamin & Mineral Vitamins help your body work properly. Each vitamin does different things to help you grow and stay healthy. Vitamins A and D help your bones and teeth stay strong. Vitamin C helps your blood vessels stay healthy and it helps wounds heal. The B vitamin family gives you energy. Vitamin E is important for healthy blood vessels and strengthens the immune system. Each serving of these delicious fruity chews provides at least 100% of kids’ Recommended Daily Allowance for vitamins A, C, D3, E, B6, B12, folic acid, biotin, pantothenic acid and zinc. Probiotic Power Probiotics are microscopic bacteria that live in all humans and help us with our digestion. These friendly “bugs” help break down food for energy and help our bodies absorb nutrients from food. Taking extra probiotics can help with digestion and strengthen your immune system against harmful invaders. Each tasty chewable tablet has 1 billion friendly cultures from 11 strains of beneficial bacteria. Studies have shown that children age 1 to 6 years old who attended day care centers and were given milk containing the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus missed fewer days of day care than children not receiving the probiotic. Calcium Plus D3 The mineral calcium helps bones and teeth grow strong and stay healthy. Bones grow and develop until age 18–21 or so. Most kids or teens get calcium from milk, cheese, yogurt and other dairy products. But, depending on what you eat or drink, you may not get enough to really benefit your body. Each serving of Sunshine Heroes Calcium Plus D3 provides 300 mg of calcium—that’s the same as drinking 8 oz. of milk. It also provides phosphorus and vitamin D3, which work closely with calcium to build strong bones and teeth. Omega 3 with DHA Brain power—it’s what helps you think and remember and be smart. Feed your brain good stuff, including something called essential fatty acids. DHA and EPA are special nutrients—called omega-3 fatty acids—that help the brain and body grow and develop properly. These nutrients are especially important for kids and teenagers. DHA and EPA usually come from fish that live deep in the ocean. But Sunshine Heroes Omega 3 with DHA gives you the nutrients you need without any fishing trips! And they’re delicious! Each fish-shaped soft chew serving provides 100 mg DHA and 20 mg EPA. Whole Foods Papayazyme Enzymes break food down into smaller chunks so our bodies can digest them and grab the nutrients that we need to be healthy and strong. Enzymes are mostly found in fresh fruits and vegetables. We took papaya and pineapple fruits—which have enzymes that help break down meat—and added other enzymes to this formula. Whole Foods Papayazyme helps you digest food and supports intestinal function. It may also help strengthen the immune system. Chew 1 tablet before (or after) meals when you need help with digestion. Whole Foods Antioxidant Everyone knows that fruits and vegetables are good for our bodies. They contain all kinds of nutrients like vitamins and minerals, plus fiber, and colorful parts that have things called antioxidants. As our bodies get older and we go through life, we get oxidized. Kind of the same way a car gets rusty, the tiny cells that make up our bodies get a little beat up from pollution, sunlight and just normal living. This oxidation process can lead to weakness. Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables helps offset oxidative damage because these colorful foods contain lots of antioxidants that help fix or prevent damage. Sunshine Heroes Whole Foods Antioxidant offers the antioxidant power equivalent to two average servings of fruit or vegetables. It also provides vitamins E and C for extra antioxidant protection and nutritional support to help minimize cellular damage.
