QUINOA FOR
GOOD GUT HEALTH
BACKED BY SCIENCE
Quinoa is a seed that contains all 9 essential amino acids needed for healthy growth and development.
Quinoa is rich in essential fatty acids, including omegas 3 and 6, which can boost immunity and are anti-inflammatory.
Quinoa promotes the growth of good gut bacteria for healthy child development.
Quinoa contains essential nutrients, including plant-based iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, and B vitamins, such as folate.
Quinoa contains fibre, which feeds good gut microbes and keeps digestive systems moving... but it’s also low in FODMAPS (short-chain carbohydrates that the small intestine absorbs poorly), so gentle on the gut.
Quinoa is packed with powerful phytochemicals that can make us healthier!
Quinoa is naturally gluten free... so suitable for sensitive babies and coeliacs.
Quinoa contains many essential vitamins and minerals, including plant-based iron, calcium, magnesium, and manganese.
THE FIRST 1000 DAYS ARE CRITICAL FOR HEALTHY GUT DEVELOPMENT... “PROGRAMMING” YOUR BABY FOR A LIFETIME OF BETTER HEALTH
SUPPORTING YOUR BABY'S
HEALTHY DEVELOPMENT
“As a registered nutritionist, I believe that quinoa is a great
food to introduce to your baby from the first stages of
weaning, to help provide them with all the nutrients they need
as they rapidly grow and develop."
We have expertly designed our baby weaning products so
that you can feel confident that you’re giving your baby the
best start in life. What your baby eats when they are first
weaned and during their first year of life may have a
significant impact on their health as adults... effectively the
nutrients they consume as a baby can help to programme
their health as an adult.
