Now that the kids are back in school, as parents it’s our job to do everything we can to position them for success, academic and otherwise. After all, success in school is often a predictor of future success, so keeping them happy, healthy, and focused on the task at hand at a young age can often pay dividends throughout their lives. Healthy habits begin early!

In addition to their role in both digestive and immune system health, probiotics also play an important role in the absorption of nutrients from food.* In order for your kids to get the most from a healthy diet they need a healthy gut to maximize digestion, which includes the breakdown and absorption of nutrients.*

When it comes to beverages, it’s tough for kids to avoid sugar and other unhealthy additives these days. Carbonated sodas are the most obvious offenders, but many parents don’t realize that fruit juices can also contain high levels of sugar and additives. Sugary beverages are one of the leading contributors to obesity, so it’s a smart move for any parent to seek out healthy alternatives.

NOW® Slender Sticks™ can help. Slender Sticks™ Sugar-Free Drink Sticks have 50% or more of nine daily vitamins, as well as 10 super fruits, all in a convenient powder drink stick that you add to a bottle of water. We don’t use any artificial flavors or colors in Slender Sticks™. Instead, we choose to use alternative sweeteners such as xylitol and our BetterStevia® for a refreshingly delicious, clean, sweet taste and considerably fewer calories. Gluten-free Slender Sticks™ are available in Pomegranate Berry, Tropical Punch, Acai Lemonade, and Grape Active flavors.

†The suggested usage for this product is based on adult protein requirements; reduce serving size according to your child’s age and body weight.  For example, half a scoop for children under the age of 9, and a 1/3 of a scoop for children under the age of 4. National nutritional surveys have shown that children in the US typically exceed the estimated average requirement for daily protein intake. However, if you are concerned about your child’s low protein intake, observe a slowing in growth and/or spontaneous weight loss, please consult your pediatrician before introducing a protein supplement to their diet. Children should receive most of their macronutrients, including proteins, from a healthy, varied diet. This product is not meant to replace meals.
