We are all familiar with the phrase, “Out of the mouths of babes,” but we should be equally aware of what goes into those youthful mouths. Modern day lifestyles and eating habits are contributing to a startling decline in the quality of nutrition that our children absorb. A growing number of children are faced with health issues as a result of questionable nutrition from fast food dining and unsupervised snacking. Issues ranging from an alarming increase in childhood obesity, diabetes, behavioral problems, immune system anomalies to gastrointestinal health problems have stemmed from this lifestyle. These issues, if not addressed, can lead to health problems for your child that will follow them throughout their lives.

Children today can be faced with one or more of the two major nutrition related issues; overeating, which is typical of our modern diets, or not receiving enough nutrition from their food intake. The children that tend to overeat may have difficulty digesting all of the food that they consume, which may lead to gastrointestinal discomfort. Our new proprietary blend of vegetarian enzymes including protease, lipase, as well as carbohydrate digesting enzymes in this new formula can directly aid in the digestion of these nutrient dense meals. Supplementation with these enzymes is critical in order to handle the increased digestive demands placed on the body when eating a diet that is high in fat, protein, sugars and refined carbohydrates.

n may also have problems with nutritional deficiency related to insufficient food consumption or a diet with limited variety. All children need to eat fresh fruits, fresh vegetables and lean proteins, but that’s not always the case. Some children only want to eat chicken fingers and tater tots, and even the dipping sauce is loaded with fat and sugar. In these cases, it is important that the child is able to receive the maximum amount of available nutrition from the food that they are eating even if not ideal. By assisting in the digestion of the meal, supplemental enzymes can help to assure that the maximum nutrition is obtained from the food that is eaten. This can be especially important in teens that undergo rapid growth spurts and have high nutritional requirements during these years.

NWC is proud to announce the release the first high performance children’s chewable digestive enzyme, which will promote health, and wellness by assisting your child’s own digestive system in thoroughly and effectively breaking down food. One Ultra-Enzyme Support® Children’s Chewable tablet with each meal will increase the bio-accessibility of all the nutrients in the food consumed thus insuring the maximum nutritional benefit. Since enzymes do not really have a flavor it was easy to use only natural fruit flavors to make the new children’s chewable a great tasting chewable tablet the young ones will enjoy.
