Earth's Best Sesame Street products are fortified with 8 essential vitamins and minerals to ensure that your toddler gets the most nutrition in every bite.

Iron

  • Iron is critical to the neurological development of preschoolers. Once they have moved on from fortified formula or baby cereal, their intake of iron may have gone down, but their need for it has not.
  • Earth's Best Sesame Street products provide an excellent source of iron to build strong muscles and to provide oxygen carrying capacity to an expanding blood volume.

Zinc

  • Zinc is important for the metabolic processes of cell division and growth.
  • Too little zinc may stop a child from growing if the deficiency persists.

B vitamins and Folate

  • B vitamins are necessary to unlock the energy in carbohydrates and to support other important metabolic processes. A preschooler with a B vitamin deficiency may be apathetic, forgetful and tired.

Calcium

  • Calcium is needed for the lengthening and strengthening of bones and teeth.
  • Peak bone mass is obtained during childhood.
  • More than half of all kids consume less than the recommended amounts of calcium.
