Immunity Support for Kids – ZOJO Beauty Elixirs The I LOVE YOU Formula

My kids are the fussiest of eaters!  I can’t count the amount of times they want me to prepare 2 or 3 different meals just to make everyone happy.   I hate to admit but many times I give in rather than having to say “if you don’t eat what I’ve made, you can go to bed hungry!”

So both Josiah and Annaliese struggle with veggies, they both love fruit which is great.  At one time Josiah would only eat carbs and hardly any protein, now he enjoys meat and fish but hates cheese and yoghurt.  Annaliese is not keen on carbs and doesn’t like red meat so will only eat chicken and fish, she loves yoghurt but hates cheese.  So you see my dilemma.

However they tend to be ok with supplements, they regularly take probiotics and fish oil.

Now that we are in the heart of the season for colds and flu it’s important their immune system is supported.

I was kindly sent a product from ZOJO Beauty Elixirs to try out.

The idea of setting up ZOJO arose from the need for change. I am a busy mother and businesswoman. I want to squeeze everything out of life, try new things, look after those close to me, and not forget about myself, either.
This kind of lifestyle takes its toll and impacts negatively on health and wellbeing. I began to see the results of my frantic life on the run – tiredness, burn-out, feeling weighed down by too many duties and responsibilities. Not only for my company, but also for my family.
We are what we eat, but children look at it differently. My daughter would eat only fries, pancakes with chocolate cream or sausages. Vegetables? Disgusting!

I had to find a way of balancing and enriching her diet and adding what she was missing out on. I didn’t want to reach for the supplements which were being sold at that time. Pure chemicals – lack of nutritious ingredients, taste and enjoyment. These products seemed more like a daily necessity than a pleasant ritual.

After a long search, I came across adaptogens and their unique natural strength, which I want to share with you today. I spent years looking for this magic, but you can benefit from it right now! I hope you love it too.

We have created our elixirs from pure, organic ingredients – the rare and those which have been known for years by practitioners of Eastern holistic herbal medicine. We have linked herbs, seeds and the best adaptogens into ready-made, perfectly balanced mixtures.

100% of our ingredients are organic. Each has a certificate from the UK Organic Farmers and Growers Association. We only choose the best quality organic raw materials which come from trusted sources. Our natural, plant-based, beauty elixirs are vegan, GMO-free, lactose and gluten free and they do not contain any artificial nasties such as preservatives, colourings, artificial sweeteners or taste enhancers.

Our elixirs have been developed by experienced nutritionists from the UK with the aim to include precisely the right mixture of active ingredients to support physical and mental health and wellbeing.

ZOJO Beauty Elixirs The I LOVE YOU Formula 35g| £17

We will show you an easy way of eliminating preservatives, allergens, artificial colourings and flavours from your kids’ diet. Our I Love You Formula is designed for children, and is composed of organic fruits and vegetables, as well as vegetable proteins. These ingredients support the immune system and physical development. Raw carob gives the elixir a delicious taste – which will appeal to even the fussiest eater.

KEY BENEFITS:

1. SUPPORTS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM – Provide your kid with healthy, unprocessed food, to support the immune system. 2. ORGANIC FRUITS AND VEGETABLES – Add organic fruits and vegetables to your child’s diet. 3. VEGAN PROTEIN – Provide your kid with essential amino acids, in particular if you are a family of vegetarians.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
ORGANIC LUCUMA – referred to as “The Gold of the Incas” lucuma has been used for centuries in Peru, Chile and Ecuador. It is so cherished in South America that there are over 25 villages named after it in Peru, where it is also the most favourite ice-cream flavor. Lucuma is rich in beta-carotene, antioxidants, fiber, as well as minerals such as potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium and phosphorus. It has a low glycemic index and can be a good sweetening alternative for people with weight gain issues. It is also more alkaline than other sweeteners and it makes our formulas so yummy!
ORGANIC ROSEHIP – Rosehip contains 30 times more vitamin C than citrus fruits. It is one of the vitamin C richest superfoods on earth. The beneficial components in rosehip additionally include vitamins A and E, B-complex, calcium, selenium, manganese, iron, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, sulfur, silicon, zinc, as well as lycopene, pectin, lutein, beta-carotene plus flavonoids, phytochemicals and carotenoids. As such, it is a powerful superfood that boosts the immune system and has antioxidant properties.
ORGANIC CAROB – Carob trees are now grown all over the world, from India to Australia. Carob is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, B2, B3, B6, copper, calcium, manganese, potassium, magnesium, selenium and zinc. It tastes similar to chocolate and is a great cooking and baking alternative as it contains a lot of fiber and antioxidants, but is low in fat and sugar and has no caffeine. Carob is also high in pectin and protein. Carob also contains polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants. The polyphenols also protect your body from damage from free radicals and environmental toxins.
ORGANIC PEA PROTEIN – Pea protein is not only a good vegan alternative to protein from other sources, but it is also gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free and soy-free making it the perfect choice if you suffer from food intolerances. Pea protein is packed with healthy, muscle-building protein e.g. arginine. What is more important: this amino-acid is easily digested and absorbed into the body. Pea protein is slow-digested by the human body, and will keep your child feeling fuller for longer, which means he or she will be less likely to snack throughout the day.
ORGANIC BROWN RICE PROTEIN –  Brown rice protein is another superb plant source of amino acids that provides a good protein alternative for people who are either vegan or lactose intolerant. It is easily digested in comparison to e.g. soy. It also contains less fat, less atherogenic fat and no cholesterol. Protein also reduces the glycaemic index (GI) of a meal which keeps you feeling fuller for longer and reduces the craving for a snack during the day.
ORGANIC ACAI BERRIES – Acai berries are found in the rain forests of the Amazon. This fruit has been praised for centuries as a healing, energy and immunity-boosting fruit. Acai berries are rich in Vitamin A, Vitamin C, calcium, chromium, zinc, iron, copper, manganese, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus. They are extremely high in anthocyanins, which give them their deep purple color.
ORGANIC BEETROOT –  Beetroot has only recently been discovered as a superfood, but it is super rich in various vitamins and minerals such as: potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, sodium, zinc, copper, and many others. Potassium helps nerves and muscles function properly and prevents fatigue, weakness and muscle cramps, while iron is an essential part of haemoglobin which is needed for growth. Beetroot is also rich in Vitamin C, a powerful immunity-boosting compound.
ORGANIC SPINACH –  If you are reading this you have probably tried to feed your child spinach before and failed miserably. We all know that dark, leafy greens are important and we have to somehow smuggle them into our kids‘ diet. Spinach contains various precious nutrients like calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, folate, phosphorus, as well as vitamin A, vitamin K and thiamine. The reason why we have included spinach in our I LOVE YOU formula is the fact, that proper levels of vitamin K are vital. We want playing football or bike riding to be a happy time.

Mix 5g with a glass of milk, juice, fruit or vegetable smoothie, once a day.

I’m really pleased with this formula and I love that the ingredients are 100% organic.  Knowing my kids are fussy I hoped they would like the taste and of course the first question I got was “what does it taste like?”

I mix this with a bit of juice and both kids actually like it which is fab.  I tried it myself and it tastes pretty good.

With this jar you get 7 servings so with both kids using it we got 3 servings.  Since they both enjoy using it, I would consider purchasing the full size 150g.
