What are the recommended age ranges for TenX Antioxidant Blast? Can I give one to my child?
TenX is an antioxidant Optimizer, not a snack bar. Like most of USANA’s Optimizers, this product was formulated primarily for adults ages 18 and older. We do not recommend giving it to children. It is important to realize that children have different nutritional needs from adults, and their portion sizes are generally much smaller than the portion sizes for a typical adult. For example: you would not expect a 5-year old child to consume two apples during a snack or a mealtime, yet one TenX bar contains two full servings of fruit. In addition, each TenX bar provides 450 mg of vitamin C, while one Usanimals tablet provides just 125 mg of vitamin C. 450 mg of vitamin C may simply be too much for a child to tolerate at one time, and could potentially cause gastrointestinal upset.
