TerraNova – Green Child Living Multivitamin – 50 Vegetarian Capsules

A dietary supplement for children ages 4 to 12, made from plants, seaweed, vitamins, and minerals.

Green Child Living Multivitamin is one of the most comprehensive supplements due to its wide variety of nutrients. This formula provides essential nutrients, including 13 vitamins and 10 minerals, along with 8 whole foods that deliver a full range of phytonutrients, enzymes, and other nutrients.

Vitamins are nutrients that play a role in numerous metabolic processes and are therefore important for growth and bodily function.

Vitamin A plays a key role in maintaining vision.

B vitamins are involved in various processes in our bodies. They are important for energy production and for the central nervous system.

Vitamin C has antioxidant properties and is important for the immune system.

Vitamin D improves calcium absorption and is important for bone health. It also contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.

Vitamin E is also an excellent antioxidant; it helps protect cells from unwanted oxidation, and vitamin K is involved in the blood clotting process.

Minerals perform a wide variety of functions and are essential for proper metabolic function. Calcium contributes to blood clotting, energy production, normal muscle function, and the maintenance of normal bones.

Magnesium plays a role in muscle function and in numerous cellular processes.

Zinc plays a role in protein metabolism, particularly in DNA synthesis; it contributes to fertility and reproduction, normal vision, and the process of cell division.

Manganese contributes to the normal formation of connective tissues and to the maintenance of normal bones.

Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin.

Copper plays a role in the transport of iron in the body and in immune mechanisms.

Iodine contributes to normal cognitive function and the normal functioning of the nervous system.

Chromium helps maintain normal blood glucose levels.

Selenium helps maintain the structure and function of cell membranes.

Molybdenum is a mineral that acts as a cofactor in several enzymes essential for the functioning of the human body.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) rounds out this formula. DHA is an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid and is physiologically necessary for brain function and neurological tissue. It improves cognitive function, learning ability, and memory. It is also necessary for the retina and visual acuity, and essential for child development.

Most children’s supplements come in chewable tablets. However, these require the addition of various additives. TerraNova products are 100% additive-free. To ensure the correct dosage of vitamins and minerals, Green Child Living Multivitamin is encapsulated in a mini vegetable capsule. For children who have more difficulty swallowing capsules, they can be opened, and their contents poured into and mixed with juice, a smoothie, or yogurt.

Magnifood is designed to improve the absorption, utilization, and function of vitamins, minerals, and other important nutrients, as well as to provide macronutrients, micronutrients, phytonutrients, enzymes, and other important compounds. Many of the phytonutrient-rich plants and foods used in Magnifood are organic and undergo immediate freezing to retain the maximum content and activity of their nutritional properties.

Green Child Living Multivitamin Magnifood consists of:

• Spirulina: Spirulina is one of the richest natural sources of plant pigments (such as chlorophyll, carotenoids, and phycocyanin) and highly digestible proteins (approximately 55%). It also provides vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and other components such as the powerful antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase.
• Stabilized rice bran: It has one of the highest concentrations of vitamin E compounds, such as tocopherols and tocotrienols, as well as B vitamins, fiber, essential fatty acids, minerals, and more than 100 different antioxidants (such as alpha-lipoic acid [which also “recycle” oxidized forms of vitamins C and E], CoQ10, carotenoids, and superoxide dismutase).
• Beets: Beets contain several important nutrients and carotenoids—antioxidant substances—that have the ability to protect the body’s cells against the action of free radicals.
• Black raspberries: Black raspberries also have high ORAC levels, particularly in terms of flavonoids and carotenoids. This fruit has a particularly high level of alpha-carotene and lutein.
• Spinach: Spinach is rich in beta-carotene, lutein, vitamins A and B complex, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and iron. It is recommended during growth phases, especially for children.
• Broccoli: Broccoli is a source of vitamin C and dietary fiber. It also provides beta-carotene, protein, and various minerals.
• Watercress: It is a true superfood, containing high concentrations of important nutrients, particularly carotenoids, flavonoids, glucosinolates, vitamins A and C, folic acid, vitamin K, calcium, and iron.
• Dandelion: One of nature’s most nutritious plants, dandelion offers a variety of vitamins and minerals, as well as carotenoids and many other phytonutrients. It supports the digestive system because it has prebiotic properties that are beneficial in cases of gastrointestinal disorders.
