body while simultaneously replacing all the C and B vitamins lost when leading an
active lifestyle.

cacao and sprouted brown rice powders.

support a strong immune system. Two new flavors, Honey Puffs and
Cocoa Graham, join Fruit Medley and Crunchy Cocoa flavors.

minerals, 15 amino acids, 11 polyphenols and the natural stimulants: caffeine;
