Usanimals™
Good nutrition plays a critical role in everyone’s health and is especially important for children because they are constantly growing, from birth to the end of adolescence. However most children are picky eaters and, thus, tend to fall short on many essential nutrients at a time when they are more important than ever. Pound for pound, a 5-year-old child needs more thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamins A and C, and vitamins B6 and B12 than a 25-year-old man. The Usanimals supplement, USANA’s Essentials™ for kids, is an advanced formulation of nutrients necessary not only for a healthy childhood but also for laying the foundation of good health for a lifetime.

Today's Childhood Nutrition
Many studies show that children do not receive the nutrition they need from their diets. Less than 25 percent of young people eat the recommended five servings or more of fruits and vegetables each day, and nearly one-quarter of all vegetables consumed by children and adolescents are french fries. Adequate amounts of key nutrients such as zinc, vitamin B6, magnesium, and calcium are missing from the diets of more than 50 percent of children from 2 to 10 years old. Vitamins C and D are also often deficient. A quality nutritional supplement, such as Usanimals, can help ensure that none of these essential nutrients are missing from a child’s diet.

Nutrition for Growth
Optimal nourishment in the first years of life is especially important to ensure children not only survive, but that they thrive. If nutrients are missing that are needed for general survival, the body will not have anything to direct toward growth. Growth involves much more than just the development of children’s bodies. It is an intricate balance of varying growth rates, physiological changes, and shifting hormone status. While growth in childhood is slower than in infancy or adolescence, it is the time in which physical and mental developments that will impact their entire lives are occurring.

• Bones and teeth are forming, meaning calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D are needed.*
• The health of all organs is established. Brain health is one of the most important, as it affects a child’s ability to learn new skills and behaviors, including socialization, communication, and analytical thinking. Brain health also can affect moods and emotions. Many B-vitamins, such as folate, B6, and B12, are important to healthy brain function.*
• Eye health depends on adequate amounts of antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E.*
• The health of our immune system is critical throughout life. Vitamins, minerals, as well as the unique antioxidant phytonutrient complex in Usanimals provide important defense against oxidative stress and support for healthy immune function.*

Adequate nutrition is also important for kids’ energy levels. Childhood energy output is high, with play periods that include plenty of running, jumping, and testing of new physical skills. Lack of proper nutrition can lead to lethargy and decreased curiosity or social interactions. Usanimals provides a wide range of vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients in amounts designed especially for active, growing children.

Why Usanimals™?
With Usanimals, being healthy can be fun. Children love the fun animal shapes printed on every tablet, and the great-tasting natural wild berry flavor makes each supplement a treat. Parents love Usanimals too, because USANA uses only natural flavors and sweeteners. And because it’s from USANA, you can trust that each bottle of Usanimals is providing the safest, highest-quality supplement formulated to precise amounts based on years of nutritional expertise.

BiOmega™ JR
A growing body of research shows the importance of omega-3 fatty acids for our health, even at the earliest stages of life. Because we know how important these vital nutrients are, pregnant women and new mothers often supplement their diets, and most infant formula is now fortified with omega-3s to help support a baby’s growing brain and body. But when a child transitions to eating solid foods, the amount of omega-3s in his or her diet may drop dramatically and stay low throughout childhood, especially if the child is a finicky eater. In fact, nearly 80 percent of children in North America are estimated to be deficient in omega-3s. In order to ensure a child’s healthy growth and development, it may be necessary to add a quality omega-3 supplement. USANA’s BiOmega Jr. delivers a healthy amount of omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), along with vitamin D, in a creamy orange-pineapple flavored gel.

Healthy Brains
Omega-3 fatty acids assist with maintaining the fluidity and permeability of cell membranes, and brain- cell membranes in particular contain more than 10 times more concentrated omega-3s than the rest of the body. Low plasma levels of DHA and EPA have been associated with various developmental problems, such as impaired cognitive development, in children. Our bodies require omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA, for proper brain development and structure. DHA is thought to support electric signaling in the brain, underscoring its role in learning ability, memory, concentration, and behavior and mood. And some studies have suggested that intakes of omega-3 polyunsaturated fats can contribute to improved performance on tests for verbal learning ability and listening comprehension. Essential fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, also influence nerve conduction, making them vital for the health of the central nervous system, which stems from the brain.

Healthy Eyes
Omega-3 fatty acids, including DHA and EPA, are precursors for eicosanoids, which are mediators of many biochemical processes and influence interactions between cells. Thus, they are necessary for the normal function and production of healthy cells throughout the body, making them vital for ongoing healthy growth and development.

Developing a healthy body early in life can have long-term, positive effects. Some research suggests that early nutrition can induce lifelong effects on metabolism, growth, neuro development, and cardiovascular health. Several clinical studies have shown omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial for the heart and vascular system throughout our lives, and supportive—but not conclusive—research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. One serving of BiOmega Jr. provides 350 mg of EPA and 230 mg of DHA omega-3 fatty acids. (See nutrition information for total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol content.)

Why BiOmega™ Jr.?
Nutrition is a key component in getting a child off to a smart start, but omega-3 fatty acids are often missing from children’s diets. A quality supplement like USANA’s BiOmega Jr. can make it fun and easy for kids to get the DHA and EPA they need for healthy minds and bodies without taking a supplement full of added sugar. Unlike many popular brands that supply only small amounts of omega-3s, BiOmega Jr. supplies a valuable amount of highly absorbable DHA and EPA in a delectable orange-pineapple flavored gel with no fishy taste. With 1,000 IU of added vitamin D, BiOmega Jr. also supports developing bones and overall good health. Packaged in single-serve packets, kids will love having BiOmega Jr. as a treat every other day, and parents will love how convenient it is to give their kids a healthy snack, either straight from the packet or mixed into yogurt or other creamy foods. For best results, store in the refrigerator and serve cold.
