Forward® for Kids

To grow healthy and strong, kids need a wholesome, well-balanced diet and plenty of vigorous, playful exercise. But they don't always get enough of these good things, and that's when a complete, all-natural multi-nutrient supplement can really help.

Dr. Whitaker's advanced children's formula, Forward® for Kids, is the answer. It gives your children and grandchildren 27 essential vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients for optimal growth and development. Plus, it's made from pure, natural nutrients, and it's sweetened only with xylitol, an all-natural sugar derivative that both tastes good and helps promote healthy teeth.

What's more, Dr. Whitaker strongly believes that children should not consume many of the more widely-used ingredients, and you won't find any of them here: no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, hydrogenated oils, refined sugar, or phenylalanine. Plus, the flexible dosage lets you tailor your children's regimen as they grows healthier every year.

Forward for Kids provides:

• Building blocks for a healthy heart—arterial, homocysteine, and cholesterol support for young, growing bodies


• Two forms of vitamin A (the most bioavailable ones), in optimal amounts for healthy growth, vision, and immunity


• Inositol and B-vitamins for brain development and function, and muscle control


• Significant levels of other B vitamins, to support healthy metabolism, energy production, and proper muscle and nerve function


• Support for blood sugar balance—biotin, chromium, vanadium, and niacinamide


• Powerful immunity-protecting antioxidants, including beta-carotene, buffered vitamin C, natural vitamin E, and selenium


• Highly absorbable forms of important trace minerals not found in most American diets


• Chamomile to soothe sensitive stomachs and promote a sense of calm

Even better, kids will love its great blend of natural orange, vanilla, and pineapple flavors, and Forward for Kids comes in four fun shapes that they'll want to take every day.
