What does it mean to be Nutrient-Dense?
Simply put: “Nutrient-dense” describes foods and beverages that are high in nutrients, but low to moderate in calorie content. The USDA advises that nutrient-dense foods are important for “normal growth and development in children, promotion of health in people of all ages and reduction of risk for a number of chronic diseases…”
Health Fusion™ beverages are specially formulated to contain significant amounts of the USDA Dietary Guidelines’ “Nutrients of Concern” including Calcium, Fiber, Potassium and Vitamin E.
Our drinks contain both EpiCAL™ (a proprietary brand of easily absorbed Organic Calcium) and Body Balance™ (a proprietary brand of natural soluble fiber that helps moderate blood glucose, insulin and triglyceride levels).
Why compare ourselves to milk?
Skim milk is considered the nutrient-density benchmark for beverages. Unfortunately, not every kid can (lactose intolerance) or will (don’t like the taste) drink milk, so it’s important to provide other options with comparable benefits. With drinks that contain many of the same key nutrients and the same or fewer calories as skim milk, our products are “More Like Milk™” than traditional sodas, sports drinks, flavored waters and even fruit juice.
