Scientific research is consistently demonstrating the importance of Vitamin D. This essential vitamin not only supports bone and teeth health, it also plays a vital role in immune support. Sun exposure is one of the best ways to get Vitamin D, but during the cloudy and rainy winter months, getting enough sun exposure can be a challenge. Standard Process produces an excellent, whole food supplement for vitamin D called Cataplex D.
“The vitamin D complex found in Cataplex D supplies essential nutrients for maintaining healthy bones, muscle, teeth and epithelial tissue. Vitamin D plays an important role in cell replication and tissue formation and helps maintain a healthy immune system. The vitamin D in Cataplex D increases the availability and absorption of calcium by all tissues. It also helps control blood levels of calcium and phosphate, which together, work at the cellular level to supply energy and the materials for growth and repair. Calcium also plays a significant role in the growth process, influencing reproductive health and keeping bones and teeth at the appropriate density for proper growth and maintenance. Vitamin A is essential to the normal growth process and is also supportive of reproductive health.” – Standard Process Cataplex D Product Detail Sheet

Vegetables play a critical role in nutrition. They provide essential minerals and enzymes that the body needs. This is especially true for growing children. Unfortunately, most children would rather eat pizza than kale or brussel sprouts. Standard Process has addressed this problem with SP Green Food.
“(SP Green Food) contains Brussels sprouts, kale, buckwheat, barley grass, and alfalfa that come straight from our certified organic farm. These vegetables act as antioxidants, sweeping free radicals away from the body. In addition, SP Green Food supports normal growth and development, protects cells from abnormal growth and division, and enhances immune system response.
If your child is not able to swallow capsules, open up the SP Green Food capsule and shake on your child’s favorite food, such as soup, yogurt, applesauce, popcorn, etc. Adding it to snacks is also a great way to increase the nutrient value.” – Standard Process
