MetaKids™ Nutrition Powder by Metagenics is a great supplement to help provide your little one with a healthy source of protein to their diet. Especially formulated for children ages 4-12 years old, MetaKids uses rice protein for a low-allergen source of healthy protein. MetaKids also incorporates a specialized prebiotic, very much like the one found in a mother’s breast milk, to nourish the healthy flora (or gut bacteria)| in the digestive tract. This encourages proper immune health through gut health. An increasing amount of research and clinical data continues to show us that the health of the gut bacteria influence the health of the entire body, including autoimmune diseases and even cancer1.
MetaKids also includes other important nutrients such as choline, vegan DHA, and essential vitamins and minerals to ensure your child is getting the micronutrients they need. MetaKids Nutrition Powder is also the only children’s protein formula on the market with a perfect Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) of 1.0.

My kids love the vanilla flavor! They ask for it when I sometimes forget to give it to them.
