Magical Fun
Magical Nutrients is a fun-filled adventure in children’s nutrition with an Incredible tasting, Sugar-Free, Kosher line of children’s vitamins.
Our Journey
In 2009, my wife, Ana Maria gave birth to our twins (Ana Sophia and Ethan Kai) at 25 weeks of age. The average pregnancy lasts approximately 40 weeks. They weighed 1 lb, 9 ounces, and 1 lb 10 ounces at birth. Because of their prematurity, we spent the first 133 days of their life with them in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. During that time, they were given horrible tasting vitamins that they would always throw up. One doctor who had tasted those vitamins, and thought that they tasted disgusting (having almost thrown up when he tasted them), said that if I created a line of children’s supplements, he would recommend them.
I left the hospital committed to find or create something better. When I went to health stores, I found that the kids supplements on the shelves had more sugar than the Halloween candy that was for sale at the same time. If a child took many of these supplements at recommended dosages on the bottles, the daily amount of sugar would equal 2 sugar cubes. With a background in nutrition, I felt that I could create better supplements. When I asked people in the children’s vitamin industry why they put sugars in the supplements, they said that it’s the only way to get kids to take them. That may be good for the bottom line of companies producing these products, but it’s not good for the children. I knew there had to be another way, as sugar neutralizes the vitamins in the product. In a multivitamin/mineral, sugar can block the absorption of all nutrients, except 3 or 4. The few nutrients remaining get used up helping the body to process the sugar.
The answer is Magical Nutrients. Magical Nutrients is a children’s line of Incredible tasting supplements that are sugar-free, Kosher, Vegan and Vegetarian friendly when possible, and free of common allergens, fillers, and flow agents. There are no capsules, preservatives, dispersents or other substances that kids don’t need to consume. The vitamins will come in an easy to consume powdered form. They can be mixed in water, or be taken straight out of the packet. Think of Kool-Aid and Pixie sticks combined.
I gave each product an identity that kids can relate to. Our vitamin C is called Magical Wizard’s Potion. Our multivitamin is called Magical Child’s Elixir., etc. I also created a mythology behind all of the characters to unite them in a common cause on their epic journey to save the last surviving planet of Dhara.
With great products and a great story, I needed images to match. I was lucky enough to find Fian Arroyo, an award-winning children’s illustrator to draw our Wizard and other characters. Once, Fian created our characters, we needed a website. We turned to another award-winning crew at Interfuel. Mel and the gang at Interfuel produced a beautiful site for us, which you can see by following the link to the site, below.
Eventually the site will have more animation to allow kids to interact with the characters and learn practical lessons that help them to navigate the world they live in. With each product that is purchased, kids will be able to go to the site and tell us which charities they want us to donate. We want to inspire kids to take care of themselves first, then help take care of others.
Why MedStartr?
It’s taken a couple of years to formulate the supplements and get as far as we have, but we’re not there yet. We’re asking for your support to help us launch this much-needed line of children’s supplements. We still need to handle production, packaging, distribution, site animation, and more character development.
We have 4 formulas ready to launch to help support children’s health. Our first 4 formulas are a multivitamin/mineral, Vitamin C, Calcium/Magnesium, and Immune Support.
Next will be a Probiotic, Vitamin D, and Omega oils (Fish oil and Vegan versions).
To produce these first 4 formulas will cost $40,000. These products will create momentum and momentum is what we need.
A Magical Impact
We believe that one great product can change an entire industry. Yes, we’re a little rebellious in a way, but following the crowd won’t help anyone, especially children.
As a chiropractor with a background in nutrition, I’ve formulated other successful products, but these products have a heart, and appeal to the minds and imagination of children.
Other Ways To Help
Like us on Facebook and help us get the word out. Kids don’t have a voice, but we do. Being a parent is a special honor that brings with it certain responsibilities. A parent becomes keenly aware of the needs of all children.
Spread the word. Tell others. Tell everyone.
