Bioglan have created a brand new range, SmartKids, to help parents to meet the key needs of their developing child. There are four innovative formats, including chewable burstlets and chocolate shake: Brain Formula, Fussy Eater Multi, Happy Tummies and Superfood shake. Each product is packed with highly nutritious fruit, vegetables and super food ingredients, and enhanced with essential vitamins and minerals.
Brain Formula
This is available in a delicious citrus flavour and is especially designed to help support healthy brain function, giving kids the best support possible. The supplement contains Omega 3 fish oil, which is especially high in DHA and is further fortified with several B-vitamins and Iron.
This comes in chewable burstlets which are individually wrapped in foil and suitable for aged 4 onwards. The outer layer of the capsule is easily to chew and it releases sweet orange and lemon flavour. It does taste oily and slightly tangy in the mouth for a while.
Fussy Eater Multi
This is especially designed to help support little fussy eaters’ daily nutritional requirements. It combines a wide spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals together with a high ORAC blend of fruit and vegetable. This is a chewable tablet, in blackcurrant and strawberry flavour that is individually wrapped in foil and suitable for aged 4 onwards. They do contain sweeteners. They are easy to chew and tastes very nice for my son. He enjoys taking this as it is sweet and gives a fizzy sensation in his mouth for a while.
Happy Tummies
This is to help boost your child’s live culture intake and provide their tummies with the good bacteria they need. Each yummy yoghurt ball contains 1 billion good bacteria- lactobacillius acidophilus and bifidobacterium lactis. These yoghurt balls comes in strawberry flavour and they melt in your mouth easily. They are suitable for aged 4 onwards with a maximum 3 balls a day (recommended 1 a day). My son loves these, they are sweet and easy to digest.
Superfood Shake
This is a chocolate flavour powder that is packed with super nutritious hidden fruit and veggies. Simply mix the powder with milk, smoothies, cereal or yoghurt and consume it. I find that it is quite hard to dissolve the powder in cold milk and works better in warm milk. This is suitable for children aged 4 onwards and contains natural sweetener. My son didn’t enjoy the aftertaste of this shake even though it tastes quite chocolaty as it has green residual bits. I think in order to get a better taste, it is best used in smoothies where it will mask all the green bits.
This SmartKids range is available on the high street from Holland & Barrett stores. To find out more information, visit http://bioglan.co.uk.
