PROMISE GOLD

During the preschool and early school years, children are developing the fine-motor skills and eye-hand coordination that allow them to draw and write.

To develop fine-motor skills, young children depend on their rapidly developing brains and muscles—and lots of practice.  Proper nutrition provides the ingredients that children need to support their motor skill development. 

The biofactor zinc is essential for proper transmission of nerve signals by the brain.   In fact, one study of school-age children found that zinc supplementation improved both fine and gross motor skills and eye-hand coordination.

Iron is also critical to proper motor function.  Yet, studies show that many young children have less than adequate iron intake.

PROMISE GOLD is generously fortified with zinc so that just 2 servings meet the daily needs of children age 3-7 years.  PROMISE GOLD is formulated for optimum iron uptake with an iron source that is easily absorbed by the body.  It also contains the biofactor, Vitamin C, which enhances iron absorption.
