Detailed Information:
The Proteins
A child's body chemistry churns along at a high rate, building and repairing tissues and systems in the short term rush to adulthood. Children naturally require a daily intake of high quality protein to support development of their muscular, endocrine, skeletal, and immune systems. Healthy brain function is also fueled by key amino acids that are converted to neurotransmitters in the brain.
The protein sources in GV Junior were selected for their cleanliness (absence of hormone and antibiotic contaminants), broad profile rich in essential amino acids, easy digestibility, hypoallergenicity, and ability to support both growth and immune function.
The Vegetables
Children often have trouble developing a passion for healthful vegetables, and conscientious parents would love to see their children eat more of them. Vibrant Health has addressed this issue by selecting air dried and freeze dried vegetable powders based on the nutrient density of each. The nutrient profile of each was compared with the profiles of all the others in order to provide a balanced and complete measure of trace nutrients.
Nutrients in their natural state are highly bioavailable. GV Junior rapidly delivers a multitude of trace nutrients that will be used to support growth and development. Cereal grass juices (i.e. certified organic alfalfa, barley, oat, wheat, and Kamut) alone deliver virtually all known nutrients and several as yet uncharacterized "growth factors" that causes young animals to rapidly grow larger, stronger, and healthier. Those same cereal grasses allow mature animals (and undoubtedly humans) to repair and replenish bodily tissues more quickly.
The Fruits
It is now well established that the bright pigments of colorful fruits and vegetables are indeed valuable antioxidants. They resist free radicals, help sustain cell longevity, protect cell memebranes, and help resist harmful changes to cellular DNA.* The rapid metabolism of a growing body calls for enhanced antioxidant protection. GV Junior contains a colorful and flavorful selection of some of the best anti-oxidant fruits.
The Probiotics
Parents often labor against early food prejudices in their young children. As a consequence, some less-than-ideal foods all too frequently travel a childs digestive tract. At Vibrant Health, we recognize the value of probiotics in maintaining and restoring a healthy intestinal environment in the face of dietary abuse. GV Junior delivers a heavy dose of nine different probiotics specifically selected for children to support the one system that must function well first and foremost above all others if growth, development and health is to be maintained.
