Healthy Kids, Healthy Future Along with a new season comes another new school year with children walking into school with new shoes, new books and new school supplies. Every parent has the same goal, to ensure their child starts the school year on the right path to good grades and ultimately, to a bright future.
Some kids pick up on things faster than others, while others need some extra help. Whether it’s learning algebra, or playing ball for the first time, you want to give them everything they need to do their best at both. Children with learning difficulties may be lacking certain essential fatty acids (EFAs). Efalex® is a unique blend of Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) and Omega-6 to help power the brain. With over 20 years of clinical studies, Efalex® is clinically proven to: • Improve concentration & focus at school

• Relieve symptoms of dyslexia, dyspraxia & ADHD • Improve problem-solving abilities • Non-GMO, dairy-free and glutenfree
Fuel Their Focus
Sometimes that lack of focus on studies or other activities is related to a lack of nutrients. A liquid multivitamin can help keep kids healthy and developing to their full potential. Kindervital® Liquid Multivitamin for Children’s enhanced bone and immune boosting formula delivers straight A marks: • Highly absorbable calcium + vitamins A, B, C, D, E • Easy-to-digest and great tasting • Natural food base sweetened with natural fruit juices, honey and unrefined maple syrup • Free of artificial additives and preservatives

Give Them Essentials
The ABCs of Preventing a Cold. Back to school means germs. It’s a fact of life when kids get together in classrooms, on playgrounds and in the gym – they sneeze on each other, hold hands and share snacks. You can’t avoid the spreading of germs, but you can prevent the colds they might turn into.
A. Always wash hands If they know their ABCs, then they know how long hand washing should last - sing the song while sudsing up.
C. Colour your plate Make sure your family’s diet is rich in colourful fruits and vegetables to keep immune systems healthy and strong.
A tasty cold fighter for kids. Simply add ColdGuard For Kids to hot or cold water for a yummy fruity drink. Boost up their immune system by adding to their water bottle when symptoms first appear. NPN 80022451
B. Boost-up their water with Echinacea Drinking water can help wash away the germs, but if plain water isn’t a favourite, try our ColdGuard For Kids tip on the right for a tasty boost.
