Built with the Down syndrome community in mind, for the youngest members first
The juggling act is real: pediatrician, geneticist, feeding therapist, speech therapist — and a shelf of half-finished bottles for a kid who may or may not feel like swallowing a capsule on a Tuesday.
Kids' Daily Greens + Nutraceutical Blend is the opposite of that shelf.
Dr. Blake Butler, DC, built this blend for the kids and teens in the community: nutrients in forms a young body can actually use, doses sized for development, and a scoop that mixes into juice or a smoothie without a fight.
One scoop. One routine. One less thing to guess at.

Why practitioner-formulated matters for kids
"Practitioner-formulated" means a clinician decided what's inside, at what dose, and just as importantly, what's not inside. This blend deliberately leaves out ingredients without a comfortable safety record for children — like ginkgo, cordyceps, and chaga. Blake has postgraduate training through The Institute for Functional Medicine; the formulation reflects the same lens he'd bring to a pediatric conversation.
What's inside, and why
Tap any ingredient · learn more
Methylated B-Vitamins (B12 + 5-MTHF Folate)
Bioactive forms a child's body uses immediately. Supports healthy methylation, brain development, memory, and mood.*
Choline
One of the most underconsumed nutrients in a typical kids' diet. Fuels acetylcholine — central to memory and learning — and supports liver function.*
Vitamin D3
Supports normal immune function and healthy bone development — especially important for kids who don't get much sun.*
Zinc & Copper (Balanced Ratio)
Zinc for immunity, cell division, and thyroid. Copper for red blood cell formation and healthy iron metabolism. The balance matters — too much zinc alone can deplete copper.*
Selenium
An antioxidant mineral that supports normal immune function and thyroid health.*
Magnesium
A favorite for kids who have a hard time winding down. Supports a calm nervous system and restorative sleep.*
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)
A precursor to glutathione, the body's signature antioxidant. Supports normal detoxification, liver function, and a balanced inflammatory response.*
Curcumin (from Turmeric)
A polyphenol traditionally used to support a healthy inflammatory response and antioxidant status.*
Lion's Mane
A functional mushroom that supports cognitive wellness and healthy nerve function — at a thoughtful pediatric dose.*
Bacopa monnieri
An adaptogenic botanical traditionally used to support memory, focus, and learning.*
Polyphenol-Rich Greens
Plant compounds that protect growing cells from oxidative stress and support gut lining integrity.*
Cinnamon
A warming spice for inflammatory balance and healthy blood sugar already within the normal range. Also helps the scoop taste good.*
Chicory Root (Prebiotic Fiber)
A prebiotic that feeds the beneficial bacteria in your child's gut, supporting a healthy microbiome and nutrient absorption.*
Together: normal immune function, cognitive wellness, gut integrity, and endocrine balance during some of the most important years of development.*
I built this blend for the youngest members of our community — the kids and teens we want to set up for the strongest possible start. Every ingredient earns its place, and what's left out matters just as much as what's in.
