Introducing your child’s strongest defenders
Protector Shield™
Every Sunshine Heroes product contains a proprietary Protector Shield Blend,
chock full of fruits and vegetables with concentrated amounts of powerful
phytochemicals—potent plant compounds noted for their health-protective
benefits. Protector Shield Blend provides valuable nutrients and potent
antioxidant action, and supports the immune system.
• Açai Berry is an antioxidant-rich super-food currently considered by many to
have the best nutritional value of any fruit on earth. Açai berries contain
protein, fatty acids, vitamin A, thiamine, vitamin C, calcium,
phosphorus, iron and anthocyanins—water-soluble pigment compounds with potent
antioxidant actions.
• Cranberry Fruit is a rich source of phytochemicals, including anthocyanidins,
ellagitannins, flavonols, catechins and phenolic acids. Cranberries also contain
vitamin C, betacarotene, vitamin E and the antioxidant glutathione.
• Mangosteen Fruit is rich in xanthones, a class of active phytochemicals that
are potent antioxidants.
• Pomegranate Fruit Extract contains several types of polyphenols—more than red
wine or grape, cranberry, blueberry and orange juice—including anthocyanins,
tannins, ellagic acid and gallic acid.
• Fruit Juice Blend. Protector Shield Blend includes a combination of fruit
juice concentrates from white grape, apple, orange, pineapple, cherry, pear,
strawberry and blueberry.
• Broccoli Flowers are a natural source of phytonutrients, including indoles
that help protect against cell damage and modulate the body’s natural metabolism
of hormones.
• Asparagus Stems are a rich vegetable source of protein and a good source of
the B-complex vitamins thiamine, riboflavin and niacin.
• Carrot Root is considered to be the richest source of vitamin A among
vegetable foods.

l-phenylalanine, l-threonine, l-valine, l-cysteine HCL and l-tyrosine.
• Choline can be synthesized (in small amounts) by the human body; but to obtain
sufficient quantities, it must be consumed in the diet to maintain health.
Obtaining adequate choline in infancy is important for healthy brain development
and cognitive function.
• Inositol aids cell-to-cell communication and other processes related to nerve
impulse transmission.
Sunshine Heroes Multiple
Vitamin & Mineral
For optimal health, children must obtain a balanced and healthy diet, full of
essential nutrients to support physical and cognitive development. Sunshine
Heroes Multiple Vitamin & Mineral provides 100% of the Recommended Daily
Allowance for vitamins A, C, D3, E, B6, B12, folic acid, biotin, pantothenic
acid and zinc. While all children can benefit from a multivitamin, pediatricians
especially recommend a daily multiple vitamin and mineral supplement for
children who may not eat regular, well-balanced meals made from fresh, whole
foods; picky eaters who may not eat enough; children with chronic medical
conditions such as asthma or digestive problems; children with high activity
levels who play physically demanding sports; children who eat a lot of fast food
meals and processed foods; and children who eat a vegetarian, dairy-free or
other restricted diets.
Sunshine Heroes Omega 3
with DHA
Sunshine Heroes Omega 3 with DHA is a uniquely formulated children’s supplement
that provides omega-3 fatty acids. While essential to human health and
development, essential fatty acids cannot be manufactured by the body and must
be obtained through diet. These fatty acids are key building blocks in every
cell in the body and are believed to benefit the brain, the eyes and central
nervous system function. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic
acid) are two essential fatty acids recognized for their health benefits in all
life stages and are essential components as the body grows and develops. DHA is
critical for the optimal development and function of the brain, eyes and central
nervous system during infancy and childhood. 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. Scientific studies have shown
that DHA supplementation during pregnancy enhances intelligence, cognition and
vision in infants and young children Additionally, the beneficial effects of DHA
extend beyond infancy, with application in enhancing children’s performance on
intelligence tests, and aiding in child learning and behavioral problems. Each
serving provides 100 mg of DHA.
Sunshine Heroes Calcium
Plus D3
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has stated that “most older children
and adolescents in the United
States currently do not achieve the recommended intake of calcium. Maintaining
adequate calcium intake during childhood and adolescence is necessary for the
development of peak bone mass, which may be important in reducing the risk of
fractures and osteoporosis later in life.” Each serving of Sunshine Heroes
Calcium Plus D3 provides 300 mg of calcium, equivalent to an 8 oz. serving of
milk. It also provides 140 mg of phosphorus, which works closely with calcium to
build strong bones and teeth. Vitamin D is essential to bone health. Calcium can
be absorbed by the body only when vitamin D is present. The AAP has recently
doubled its recommendation for the minimum amount of vitamin D that children
should get daily. The new guidelines recommend at least 400 international units
daily. Most children don’t drink enough milk (four 8 oz. glasses) to provide
adequate levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D3 is the form of vitamin D produced by
our own bodies in response to sunlight, and is considered to be the most
bioactive form One serving of Sunshine Heroes Calcium Plus D3 provides 300 IU of
vitamin D3.
Sunshine Heroes Probiotic
Power
The human body relies on a healthy level of probiotics—friendly bacteria that
perform 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, meaning that 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. Each chewable tablet of Sunshine Heroes Probiotic Power
contains 11 strains of optimal probiotic bacteria.
Sunshine Heroes Whole
Foods Antioxidant
Because modern diets often lack sufficient amounts of fruits, vegetables and
other whole foods, they are generally low in essential nutrients and
antioxidants needed for optimum health. Research continues to show that a higher
intake of antioxidant-rich fruits, vegetables and other whole foods is
associated with a lower occurrence of chronic and degenerative diseases such as
cancer and cardiovascular disease. The National Cancer Institute recommends
eating at least 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Supplementing
the diet with Whole Foods Antioxidant soft chews makes it easier to ensure that
children get the benefits of more fruits and vegetables as well as other
essential nutrients for optimum health. Whole Foods Antioxidant provides the
antioxidant power of two average servings of fruits or vegetables (based on ORAC
value). In addition to whole food sources of antioxidants and nutrients, Whole
Foods Antioxidant soft chews also provide potent antioxidant vitamins A, E and C
for extra antioxidant protection and nutritional support.
Sunshine Heroes Whole
Foods Papayazyme
Digestive enzymes are essential to proper digestion. They are made by the body
but are also obtained through the diet. Enzymes 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, which digest protein; amylases for
carbohydrate digestion; and lipases for fat digestion. Fruits and vegetables are
good sources of dietary enzymes. Unfortunately, cooking can destroy these
enzymes. Like their parents, most children do not eat enough raw foods and
therefore can benefit from digestive enzyme supplementation. Whole Foods
Papayazyme combines pineapple and papaya fruits—whole food sources of digestive
enzymes—and is fortified with additional digestive enzymes for healthy breakdown
of most food types. Whole Foods Papayazyme provides digestive enzymes at levels
that are safe for chewing and gentle enough for children. Give your children the
nutritional help their bodies crave. Rescue them with Sunshine Heroes and feed
the hero within!
