Is it pregnancy & breastfeeding friendly?
Yes!
In saying this, we do advise on all our products to seek advice from your health care professional on taking our products if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. We only say so as we believe that every pregnancy is different, taking a toll differently on each individual body in vitamin, mineral and energy levels.
We invite you to research the product to ensure that you are not sensitive to any particular ingredients.
What makes Thriving Family suitable for use in children and pregnant & breastfeeding women?
Thriving Family contains no artificial ingredients, amino acids or synthetic vitamins & minerals. This means that not only are the nutrients easily recognised and absorbed by the body, but because they are naturally occurring nutrients, they are the safest and most suitable way to provide a growing body with nourishment without adverse reactions.
Is Thriving Family suitable as a post-workout supplement?
Although Thriving Family can be taken post exercise, it is not our most suitable product for recovery. Our Clean Proteins provide a higher amount of protein per serve, are lower in carbohydrates and contain more complementary nutrients for exercise recovery. We have also recently released our Clean Recovery, which is specifically formulated to help the body to recover after physical exercise.
Is Thriving Family suitable as a replacement for baby formula?
No. Thriving Family is not suitable for consumption for children under the age of 12 months old and is not suitable for use in place of any formula product. Further, Thriving Family is also not a suitable replacement for follow-on formula and should only be utilised as part of a healthy varied diet. For further advice on when might be the right time to incorporate Thriving Family into the diet of your individual child, it would be the best to talk to your primary health care physician.
30 g of Thriving Family seems like a big serve size, can I give my child less while still maintaining some of the benefits?
Absolutely! For children under 3, a half serve might be more appropriate depending on your child's individual eating habits and needs. You will notice the nutrition panel for Thriving Protein is very comprehensive and provides a large portion of the RDI for many vitamins & minerals. Therefore a half serve will still provide a substantial portion of the RDI for these vital nutrients to help fulfil nutritional gaps.
Is Thriving Family good for non-breastfeeding adults too?
Yes! Thriving Family can help fulfil nutritional gaps in any person's diet in a wholesome and delicious way due to being such a good source of protein, carbohydrate and fat. Thriving Protein can be an easy way to incorporate protein into your breakfast through a smoothie, porridge or breakfast muffins.
Can I use Thriving Family in baking or will all the nutrition get destroyed by heat?
You can definitely include Thriving Family into any baking. Some water soluble vitamins such as B vitamins and vitamin C are susceptible to heat, however all of the vital minerals and macro nutrients such as protein will be preserved, adding a good whack of nutrition to whatever baked good you decide on.
