As parents, ensuring that our children are provided with their basic needs is one of our top priorities. We want our children to get all the nutrients they need for daily nutrition and overall health. But the question is how do we encourage them to like or enjoy taking vitamins and other food supplements?
Good news! USANA Health Science introduces Usanimals. With the help of Usanimals, parents can support their children's growth in a fun, convenient way. Usanimals is a daily multivitamin for children ages 2 to 12 with a balanced formula that contains 23 essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support healthy growth development for healthy immune functions and energy levels, and bone support.
"Growth encompasses all aspects in the development of children-from physical, physiological, intellectual, emotional and psychological. We are proud to say that Usanimals by USANA can support the nutritional demands of growing children by providing the relevant and the most comprehensive nutrients that result improved overall health development," said Gen Blasurca, Corporate Pharmacist at USANA.
Children’s nutritional needs
Children need a
diet sufficient in macro and micronutrients. Macronutrients refer to
carbohydrates, fats and protein needed by the body to provide the vital energy
and body building elements for survival and development.
Meanwhile, micronutrients are
essential vitamins and minerals children needed in small amounts to support
their physical and mental development. A child’s diet must also be sufficient
to provide for the accumulation of stores of nutrients in preparation for the
accelerated growth spurts of the teen years.
The lack of
micronutrients such as iodine, vitamin A or iron in their daily diet may result
in brain underdevelopment and poor performance in school, as well as the
inability to cope with stress.
Usanimals contains
quality antioxidants, vitamins and minerals to help ensure that the essential
nutrients are present in your child’s diet. It contains vital micronutrients such
as Vitamins A, C, E, and zinc to boost immunity; B6, B12, folate, and choline
for healthy brain function; calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D for strong bones
and teeth; and iron, thiamin, and B12 for energy. It also contains calcium
pantothenate, biotin, inositol, antioxidant phytonutrient complex (blackberry,
raspberry, cranberry, blueberry fruit powder), selenium, copper, manganese,
chromium, molybdenum.
It is free of artificial flavors
and sweeteners. Each chewable tablet is easy to eat, is stamped with animal
shapes and has a natural wild berry flavor, making it a yummy and fun treat for
kids!
Feeding Program
USANA True Health
Foundation (THF), USANA’s corporate social responsibility organization,
recently partnered with Cornerstone Foundation – an education program under the
group Couples for Christ, the Ateneo Center for Educational Development and the
Department of Education – to conduct a six-month feeding program during their
Saturday classes.
Throughout the
program’s duration, the students were individually weighed and their heights
measured before and after each feeding cycle, to track their physical
development. It also allowed USANA’s program coordinators to monitor the other
health needs of the children.
Aside from the
weekly feeding sessions, USANA also generously gave each of the students a six-month
supply of Usanimals. Results of the student’s physical progress, to be
available later this year, will be used to improve the program further.
