We all want to give our kids the best products available to ensure they grow up healthy and happy. Horizon Organic® dairy products are a great way to ensure your kids are getting the calcium they need without the use of added growth hormones, antibiotics and dangerous pesticides.

The issue of pesticide residues in produce is particularly pertinent to kids, who consume far more produce per pound of body weight than adults.

But with regard to kids, the issue of pesticide residues in foods is not limited to produce. There's growing evidence that children may be more sensitive than adults to the effects of pesticides, due to their rapidly developing nervous systems.

Calcium is especially important for kids' growing bodies. But since most Americans aren't getting their recommended daily amount of calcium, it's no surprise that most kids aren't either. In fact, studies show that two out of three children are not getting enough calcium in their diets.¹

So how do we help our kids to get more calcium? One solution is to give kids calcium rich products that come in fun and flavorful varieties. Studies show that kids who drink flavored milk get the calcium they need without increasing their overall sugar and fat intake.² Horizon Organic offers a full line of convenient, single-serve milks in a variety of flavors kids love, including chocolate, vanilla and strawberry.

Another solution is to offer kids products that are made just for them. Horizon Organic Baby Yogurt and Yo-Yo's yogurt cups come in smooth and creamy flavors kids love.

Horizon Organic yogurts, including kid and baby yogurts, are enhanced with NutraFlora®, a natural fiber and probiotic that has been shown in clinical studies to enhance calcium absorption.
