THE RESEARCH IS CLEAR
Kids aren’t meeting nutritional recommendations
It can be hard to give your children the nourishment they need to thrive in today’s world. Nowadays, kids aren’t meeting recommendations for fruit and vegetable intake, fibre, omega-3 fatty acids or vitamin D.
THE FACTS ARE CLEAR
Let's take a closer look at the nutritional status of kids today:
Approximately 40% of fruit and vegetable intake among Canadian kids is coming from just two sources: juice and white potatoes.
Kids aren’t eating enough fibre.
Up to 84% of children consume less than one serving fish/seafood per week.
Kids don’t typically eat fermented and gut-loving superfoods.
WHAT OUR KIDS ARE MISSING
Kids are missing three key components of a healthy diet: Phytonutrients, fibre and omega-3 fatty acids.
Kids need help building resilience to the impact of dietary and environmental influences in order to stay healthy and thrive!

Wherever germs lurked, we would seek to eliminate them. But in reality, our microbiome, made up of trillions of microbes, is keeping us and our planet healthy. Nowadays, there are hundreds of scientists all around the world investigating how these microbes impact our gut health, oral health, immune system (especially allergies and asthma), cardiovascular system and mental health.
