Ultracare for Kids® Medical Food (Vanilla Flavor) - 22.2 oz (630 Grams)

Food allergies and food intolerances affect kids of all ages. If your child has an allergy, it means that his or her immune system sees certain foods as harmful and tries to eliminate them from his or her system as quickly as possible. Common food allergies include eggs, peanuts, wheat, cow’s milk, and seafood. Other types of allergic conditions—including rhinitis, eczema, and environmental allergies—can also be triggered by diet. Allergic responses can range from a mild runny nose to serious breathing difficulties. Your child might also break out in itchy hives, cough, wheeze, or vomit. If your child has food intolerances, he or she might feel nauseous, bloated, or irritable. He or she may even experience gas, heartburn, diarrhea, or vomiting. Whether your child has an allergy or food intolerance, he or she needs to avoid eating anything that contains the type of food that triggers a response.

When your child is sensitive to certain foods, ensuring proper nutrition can be challenging. His or her diet might be low in certain nutrients if they’re mainly found in the foods he can’t eat. This means he’ll have to get what he needs by taking a supplement.

Metagenics’ Ultracare for Kids® provides a delicious, convenient way for kids with food allergies and intolerances to safely get the nutrients they need, with a natural vanilla bean taste. This powdered supplement is made from rice protein and doesn’t contain any dairy products, eggs, corn protein, gluten, or soy protein. It provides calcium from non-dairy sources. Ultracare for Kids® also has other nutrients that kids need to stay healthy, including:

• Vitamin A—necessary for your child’s vision and immune function.
• Vitamin D—helps your child grow, due to its involvement in building healthy bones.
• Zinc—needed for proper growth and development; also plays roles in immune system health and wound healing.
• L-Lysine—an essential amino acid that aids in your child’s bone growth and is required for calcium absorption.

One container of Ultracare for Kids® has 22.2 ounces (630 grams) of vanilla-flavored powder. You should mix one serving (roughly 30 grams) with eight to 10 ounces of filtered, pure, or distilled water and give it your child once a day, unless otherwise directed by your child’s pediatrician.
