Dr. Geary Recommends: Nutrition Finds

September 25, 2008

I rarely shop- as a pediatrician and mother of three I tend to shop on-line, late at night. So I am always searching and researching for the very best products and then I stick with them- especially when it comes to my children.
As part of my ongoing research for my book on pediatric wellness and nutritonal healing, I encounter lots of companies making supplements. Although it is always better to get your nutrition through meals, we all know some kids need a boost. these treats may help boost their energy level and smile and meal time.

1. BOOST Kid Essentials : this is a new product from Nestle that tastes great and provides complete balanced nutrition with every serving- 25 Vitamins and minerals, 7 grams of protein as well as antioxidants, Vitamin C, E, selenium. The straw provided with BOOST Kid Essentials Drink is specially formulated to deliver an effective daily dose of the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri Protectis. Recent clinical trials have shown that infants experienced decreased fever and sick days and children experienced less diarrhea when fed the probiotic provided by BOOST Kid Essentials Drink. www.KidEssentials.com
