Overview
Kiddie-Proâ„¢ is an innovative formula which consists of 50% high quality protein with excellent amino acid profile sourced from microfiltered whey protein, milk protein isolate and highly digestible calcium caseinate.
In addition to protein, Kiddie-Proâ„¢ is a rich source of vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc.
Kiddie-Proâ„¢ is an innovative formula providing high quality microfiltered protein with excellent amino acid profile, Vitamin C, Vitamin D and Zinc, especially designed for children.
Kiddie-Proâ„¢ is naturally sweetened by honey and organic can juice. A recent study indicated that artificial food colors and additives might increase hyperactive behaviours in some children.
Our innovative formula contains natural flavors and colors only from fruit or vegetable sources. This product is free from preservatives; however, it will last for at least two years in its original sealed package in normal storage condition.
Kiddie-Proâ„¢ is carefully tested to be well beyond all international standards for children products.
Kiddie-Proâ„¢ is made of natural ingredients with different specifications than adult products. Our children products must pass more restricted quality measures to meet our brand value.
Dairy Proteins
Milk is one of the most excellent sources of proteins. Caseins account for about 80% of the total protein in bovine milk, while the highly soluble whey proteins account for the remaining 20%.
Whey is considered the most valuable dairy protein that contains all the essential amino acids required by the body for optimum growth and biological performance.
Whey proteins are easily digested, completely bio-available and have excellent metabolic efficiency.
Whey is an excellent nutritional source for children. Whey proteins contain all the essential amino acids in optimal proportions. Because of its balanced amino acid profile, Whey is an excellent ingredient for protein fortification in children diets. Whey proteins are particularly effective in stimulating muscle protein synthesis.
It is known that physical activity increases protein needs to more than what is basically needed for natural growth.
Amino acid supplementation in combination with physical activity stimulates the transport of amino acids into the muscles. There is a direct correlation between inward amino acid transport and muscle protein synthesis.
Kiddie-Proâ„¢ is rich in Whey protein providing minimum 50% protein per serving. Kiddie-Proâ„¢ is naturally sweetened. No preservatives, artificial color or flavors added.
A strong immune system is essential for protecting children’s body against various illnesses.
Inadequate protein (amino acids) intake may re**rd immune function in children.
In comparison to most other protein sources, Whey proteins are unique in their ability to optimize many aspects of immune function.
Whey proteins seem to modulate immune function by boosting glutathione production.
Glutathion is the first line of the body’s antioxidant defense system that regulates many components of immune function.
Muscle glutamine is another essential fuel for the immune function that can be provided by Whey protein supplementation.
Whey proteins are also rich in Arginine and Lysine. Arginine and Lysine are among the amino acids that seem to stimulate growth hormone which is an anabolic hormone or stimulator for muscle growth.
Recent clinical trials have also shown that dietary intakes of dairy products may protect against excess adiposity.
Whey protein encompasses a variety of fractions including the major bovine proteins alphalactalbumin and beta-lactoglobulin, and minor fractions such as serum proteins, immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, and tissue growth factors. Recent clinical trials have also shown that dietary intakes of dairy products may protect against excess adiposity.
Whey protein isolate and other dairy product solids have received GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe ) from FDA.
Vitamin C
According to Health Canada compendium of monographs, Vitamin C:
Helps the body to metabolize fats
Helps the body to metabolize proteins
Helps in the development and maintenance of bones, cartilage, teeth and gums
Helps in connective tissue formation
Helps in wound healing
Is an important antioxidant for the maintenance of good health
Kiddie-Pro is an excellent source of Vitamin C by providing at least 50 mg Vitamin C per serving.
The following table shows Health Canada’s recommended Vitamin C dosage for children:

Kiddie-Pro is an excellent source of Vitamin C by providing at least 50 mg Vitamin C per serving.
Zinc
Zinc is a key factor in tissue formation and body metabolism in children.
Zinc is an essential element that plays structural or catalytic roles in the more than 200 enzymes involved in different biological processes in the body. These enzymes are critical for nucleic acid and protein metabolism, producing energy and maintaining the integrity of biological membranes.
Zinc promotes immunomodulatory and antioxidant activities. The antioxidant activity of Zinc is in association with Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD).
The potential benefit of Zinc gluconate in the management of common cold has made it a valuable ingredient for a variety of health products. This protective effect is probably mediated through the inhibition of the replication of rhinoviruses or inhibition of virus entry into cells.
Zinc deficiency has been shown to impair immune system in different wa
