Nutrition for the NEXT Generation- Introducing Vemma NEXT




With childhood obesity on the rise, it continues to be a national hot-button topic in the press.  Contrary to popular belief though, a recent study conducted by The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that fast food consumption was not the major cause for childhood obesity, it actually starts at home.  So many children are picky eaters and skip vegetables and fruits, in favor of processed food and artificially sweetened beverages.  Keeping that in mind, parents can feel confident and safe giving their children Vemma NEXT which contains an enhanced full spectrum of vitamins, antioxidants and over 65 plant-sourced minerals. Just 2 ounces of this delicious kid-approved beverage gives super-charged immune protection, critical brain development nutrients and specific ingredients designed for children’s growing bodies.
Vemma NEXT includes: 
·         Vitamin C – found in citrus fruits, broccoli, bell peppers, kale, cauliflower and green leafy vegetables.
·         Vitamin D – found in salmon, tuna fish, milk, eggs, liver, beef, and even direct sunlight.
·         Beta carotene – found in sweet potatoes, carrots, spinach, collard greens and squash.
·         DHA – an all-natural, vegetarian source of omega-3 fatty acid known for brain and eye support.* Choline also aids in brain development.*
·         Quercetin – a group of flavonoids that give many fruits and vegetables their coloring. An antioxidant perfect for growing bodies.*
·         Phytonutrient extracts of 14 organic fruits and veggies for those children who don't get enough.

My Thoughts

With kids, its not easy to get them to take their vitamins. My kids make faces when I try to give them the prescription vitamins from the doctor. They like the gummy variety, but I never feel like they're enough. I also have one child who has issues with her teeth so she can't eat gummy vitamins. Vemma NEXT was the perfect solution for me.  Each NEXT is is chock full of healthy vitamins including Vitamin C, Vitamin F, Beta Carotene, DHA and more.

My kids loved the taste of NEXT. It's similar to orange juice but not as acidy--my oldest daughter compared it to Sunny Delight. There's no funky aftertaste like with some other drinkable supplements. It goes down easy and kids actually come back and ask for more. But the best part for me is that there are no artificial colors or sweeteners, so I know I'm giving my children a supplement that's good for them in more ways than one.
