Sunshine Heroes Whole Foods Papayazyme [Digestive, Immune]. Digestive enzymes are protein complexes that are essential for food digestion. They break down foods into nutrients that can be absorbed and used to build all body systems, including cells, tissues, organs, glands, hormones, etc. There are three main categories of digestive enzymes: proteolytic enzymes that digest protein, amylases for carbohydrate digestion and lipases to break down fat.

Sunshine Heroes Whole Foods Antioxidant [Vital Nutrition] ensures that children receive the benefits of more fruits and vegetables. Modern diets often lack sufficient amounts of fruits, vegetables and other whole foods, making them low in essential nutrients and antioxidants needed for optimal health. Research shows the benefits of an antioxidant-rich diet. The National Cancer Institute recommends eating at least 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Sunshine Heroes Whole Foods Antioxidant offers the antioxidant power equivalent to two average servings of fruit or vegetables (based on ORAC values).

Sunshine Heroes Probiotic Power [Digestive, Intestinal]. The human body relies on a healthy level of probiotics for numerous functions, including metabolizing foods, absorbing nutrients, and maintaining a proper balance of intestinal flora. Probiotic microbes have a symbiotic relationship with their human hosts—both the probiotics and the humans benefit from their relationship.  It is estimated that over 400 different types of normal flora inhabit the human gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts. Studies have shown that children age 1 to 6 years old who attended day care centers and were given milk containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus missed fewer days of day care than children not receiving the probiotic. Studies have also shown that a healthy intestinal bacterial colonization may reduce the risk of food allergies in infants. Researchers have also found that probiotics aid digestion.

Sunshine Heroes Omega 3 with DHA (90 Soft chews) uniquely formulated children’s supplement that provides omega-3 fatty acids. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) are essential fatty acids found almost exclusively in fish that live in deep, cold water. These fatty acids are key building blocks in each body cell. DHA and EPA are recognized for their health benefits in all life stages and are essential components as the body grows and develops. Each serving of Sunshine Heroes Omega 3 with DHA provides 100 mg DHA and 20 mg EPA from fish oil.  DHA is critical for the optimal development and function of the brain, eyes and central nervous system during infancy and childhood. Further, DHA is a major structural fat in the brain and eyes, representing approximately 97% of all omega-3 fats in the brain and 93% of all omega-3 fats in the retina.
