Of course you can! Veggie Hero is super healthy and nutritious for everyone!
Is it pregnancy & breastfeeding friendly?
Yes.
Can kiddies under 12 months have this product?
Veggie Hero has been designed for the nutritional needs of kids over 12 months of age, however, if you reduce the serving size of Veggie Hero to 2.5 g (1 teaspoon) and add it into your homemade purees, then it's a great addition of extra nutrition for your little person from 6 months up.

Berry Immune FAQs
What does it taste like?
Berry Immune tastes like a sweet tutti frutti berry explosion with a tiny bit of tang. We have combined only the best refractance window dried berries and fruits with nutrient rich superfoods to bring you an immune boosting taste sensation that the kids will be bugging you for.
Are the flavours natural?
Yes! We use premium plant based flavours that are created using only natural processing methods such as heating, fermenting and pressing. There is nothing artificial in Berry Immune.
Is Berry Immune gluten free?
Yes! The recipe does not contain any gluten containing ingredients and we make sure that Berry Immune is manufactured and packed in a gluten free environment.
I am a grown up, can I have some?
NO, go find some grown up food! (only kidding) anyone can have our delicious and nutritious Berry Immune. We specifically designed this product to meet young children's needs (between 1-3 years). However anyone older than 1 year of age can take this product, including adults. As an adult your body needs a higher amount of nutrients, but that doesn't mean you can't take this product.
Is it pregnancy and breastfeeding friendly?
Yes! In saying this, we do advise on all of our product pages to seek the advice of your primary health care professional when taking our products if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. We only say this 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.
Is it vegan?
Yes it sure is.
Are the canisters recyclable?
Yes they are.
What does refractance dried mean?
Refractance window drying is the name of the drying method of choice for all of Nutra Organics fruit and veggie powders, the reason we use it is simply because it’s the best. Refractance window drying is the most effective drying method for nutrient retention which is super important when we’re talking about water soluble vitamins and antioxidants (hello Berry Immune!). We want as much of these volatile nutrients in our product as possible, other drying methods such as spray drying/drum drying involve high heat which destroy these precious nutrients in seconds. It also goes without saying that if this method is the best for nutrient retention, it’s also the clear winner for savouring the colour, flavour and aroma of our fruit powders which is why Berry Immune tastes as good as it looks.
Can children under one consume berry immune?
Unfortunately Berry Immune is not suitable for children under the age of one as it is not designed to be a sole source of nutrition and doesn’t fit the very specific criteria for foods suitable for infants.
Choc Whiz FAQs
What does it taste like?
Choc Whiz tastes like a sweet chocolate berry drink with choc chunks. We have combined organic cacao, super berries and chocolate chunks that can fix any sweet tooth cravings.
Any kid is going to love it!
Are the flavours natural?
Yes! We use premium plant based flavours that are created using only natural processing methods such as heating, fermenting and pressing. There is nothin artificial in our Choc Whiz.
Is Choc Whiz Gluten Free?
Yes! The recipe does not contain any gluten containing ingredients and we make sure that Choc Whiz is manufactured and packed in a gluten free environment.
I am a grown-up, can I have this product?
NO, go find some grown-up food (Jokes!). Anyone can have our delicious and nutritious Choc Whiz. However, we specifically designed this product to meet your children's needs (between 1-3 years). But anyone older that 1 year of age can have this product, including adults. The only thing is that adults need a higher amount of nutrients when compared to young children.
Is it pregnancy and breastfeeding friendly?
Yes! In saying this, we do advise on all our products to seek advice from your health care professional on taking products if you're 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.
Is it vegan?
Unfortunately our Choc Whiz is not Vegan. We have added a very special ingredient to our formula that comes from fish: Omega 3 DHA! Omega 3 fatty acids are so important during early stages of life and we wanted to be able to offer this to your loved ones.
Choc Whiz contains DHA extracted from fish. Does it taste or smell like fish?
Not a chance! Even though we have incorporated omega 3 DHA extracted from fish in our product, this special ingredient has been microencapsulated, which means that no kid or adult will be able to smell it or taste it.
What are Omega 3 Fatty Acids (DHA and EPA)? And why are they added?
Our body can make most of the fats it needs, but that isn't the case for omega 3 fatty acids. These are essential fat, which means that the body can't make them from scratch, so it must get them from food. There are 3 important fatty acids: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). ALA is commonly found in most Western diets in plant oils such as flaxseed, soybean and canola oils and some nuts; while DHA and EPA come mainly from fish and other seafood (reason why most people call them marine omegas).
Our body can convert ALA into EPA and DHA, but the conversion is sometimes very limited. That is why it is so important to consume foods or supplements that contain these two omegas.
Omega 3s are important for so many reasons, they are components of the membranes that surround each cell in your body; DHA is especially high in retine (eye) and brain, so it is really important to incorporate this omega 3 into early stages of life. We have added Omega 3 DHA and some EPA to our product for its brain boosting capabilities.
Are the canisters recyclable?
Yes, they are.
Captain Calm FAQs
Are the flavours natural?
Yes! We use premium plant based flavours that are created using only natural processing methods such as heating, fermenting and pressing. There is nothing artificial in our Captain Calm.
What does it taste like?
Captain Calm tastes like a blissful bubblegum flavoured drink that will make your kids fall in love with this purple superfood blend. We have combined premium dried fruit powders with natural plant based flavours to deliver a unique and fun calming drink.
What is thaumatin?
For parents' peace of mind, rest assured that we only use natural sweeteners across all of our products. Our Captain Calm contains thaumatin, which is sourced from the katemfe fruit, Thaumatococcus daniellii, found in the West African rainforests. Thaumatin is a very sweet protein that is extremely powerful so we only need to use tiny tiny amounts of it. Just to put into perspective, stevia is 200 times sweeter than sucrose, while thaumatin is about 2000 times sweeter than sucrose! Mother nature is indeed super powerful.
What makes Captain Calm purple?
Captain Calm contains refractance window dried New Zealand purple carrot. This means that our purple carrot retains the highest amount of anthocyanins (the purple pigments) possible in a dried product and makes our drink a dazzling purple colour. However, as carrots are a natural product, of course, as with any other fruit or vegetable, there are seasonal variances which may result with more or less purple at times. The exact colour of Captain Calm will also vary slightly depending on the type of milk used. ie. greyish almond milk might make your kids drink darker than when made with white full cream milk. However, rest assured that our Captain Calm will taste beautiful no matter how purple the purple is.
Are the calming botanicals, herbal extracts or whole herbs?
Here at Nutra Organics, it is of the utmost importance to us that all members of the family can enjoy the majority of our products and that where possible, we use the most “whole” form of the ingredient available. Therefore we do not utilise herbal extracts in Captain Calm, simply the whole herb. This means that our product is more wholesome, and suitable for all members of the family to consume.
Why have you added calming botanicals to your product?
The interplay of plants and human health has been documented for thousands of years. Herbs have been integral to both traditional and non-traditional forms of medicine dating back at least 5000 years. The growing popularity of herbal medicines may be explained by the tendency of herbs to work slowly, and synergistically. Captain Calm contains three botanicals known to support the nervous system and to help to calm the mind.
Chamomile is one of the most ancient medicinal herbs known to mankind, and it has been widely used and well documented, having positive effects in a variety of actions, and being frequently used as a mild calming herb to soothe the nervous system. Lemon Balm is a lemon-scented herb that comes from the same family as mint. This herb encourages restful moments. It is also a medicinal herb with memory supporting properties. Passionflower is another powerful and traditionally used herb to calm the mind.
Where are you minerals and vitamins coming from?
Magnesium is sourced from seawater (Aquamin)
Vitamin D is derived from white button mushroom
All B Vitamins are derived from organic quinoa sprouts
Where is the tryptophan coming from?
Captain Calm is a product designed to be consumed with milk (cow's milk or any other milk of choice). This is because cow's milk or soy milk are natural sources of tryptophan that can enhance the calming effect of this product. When consuming Captain Calm as per package instructions, there will be naturally occurring tryptophan present in milk (either full cream cow's milk or soy milk).
4 grams of Captain Calm powder with 100 mL of full cream milk contain approximately 34 mg of Tryptophan
4 grams of Captain Calm powder with 100 mL of soy milk contain approximately 44 mg of Tryptophan
What are the benefits of Magnesium?
Magnesium helps the body relax. This nutrient reduces the tension accumulated in your body and mind, promoting a calming and soothing environment. Have you noticed that magnesium is widely used outside and inside of the body for relaxation purposes? For example, most bath soaks contain magnesium to promote a complete experience of pure relaxation; sports ointments or sprays for muscle relaxation contain magnesium. Plus most sleeping and stress-relief supplements on the market also contain magnesium as the main active ingredient. Our Captain Calm surely does contain magnesium, to be precise 74% of your child's recommended dietary intake per serve.
What are the benefits of B Vitamins and Vitamin D?
The human body contains several biological pathways responsible to perform a complexity of tasks and each of them require a variety of compounds to work properly. Example, the Sleep-Wake cycle requires different hormones, enzymes and cofactors to be functional. Several studies have indicated the positive impacts of vitamin D and B vitamins (specifically B1, B6 and Folate) on body relaxation and calming pathways. Captain Calm contains the cofactors necessary to promote a calming and soothing time for your little ones.
Aren't sugars bad for kids? If this is a calming product, why are there sugars?
This is a VERY good question. Let's break it down. Sugars are essential for brain function, as our brain relies on sugar as its main and preferred source of energy. So we need sugar to be able to function properly. Dietary carbohydrates (example sugars) play an important role to facilitate the transportation of tryptophan to the place where it is needed. Therefore sugars are indeed necessary to promote a relaxing and calming time.
Are the canisters recyclable?
Yes they are.
What drying method is used for our fruit & vegetables?
We use refractance window drying to gently dry our premium fruits and vegetables. We use this method because it provides the highest level of preservation of volatile vitamins and nutrients in food powders compared with any other drying method. This means that antioxidants, water soluble vitamins can be retained to provide their health benefits. The final dried fruit or vegetable retains its colour, nutrients and taste.
Will this product make my kids do their chores and to to bed earlier?
Absolutely not. Captain Calm is in no way comparable to a strong pharmaceutical that may cause your kids to feel drowsy the next day. Captain Calm is only a supportive food product, containing key active ingredients that promote a sense of relaxation during the afternoon or prior to bed, but it is not strong enough to cause excessive drowsiness.
Nutra Organics is a food company that creates products solely for the purpose of nourishing our bodies with organic, high quality health foods. Therefore we do not promote any of our products to have a specific therapeutic effect. Captain Calm is not suitable for any therapeutic purpose, including but not limited to the treatment of any ailment. For further information regarding this or any concerns you may have regarding Captain Calm and a specific health condition we recommend consulting your primary physician.
Is Captain Calm gluten free?
Yes! The recipe does not contain any gluten containing ingredients and we make sure that Captain Calm is manufactured and packed in a gluten free environment.
Is it vegan?
Yes & No. Captain Calm recipe (in powder form), does not contain any animal derived ingredients, so it is considered vegan. However keep in mind that if you follow our serving suggestion of adding this powdered drink to cow's milk, it will not be vegan and it will contain dairy. For a dairy free and vegan option add to plant-based milks.
I am a grown up, can I have this product?
NO, go find some grown up food! (Jokes). Anyone can have our delicious and nutritious product. However we specifically designed this product to meet young children's needs (between 1-3 years). But anyone older than 1 year of age can take this product, including adults. The only thing is that adults need a higher amount of nutrients when compared to young children.
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.
Why does captain calm have floaty bits or why do they sit at the bottom after a while?
Captain Calm does not have stabilizers or instantizers to enhance the solubility of the herbs. Therefore our calming botanicals like chamomile, lemon balm and passionflower will naturally float to the top of your kids drink or settle on the bottom, but you can rest assured it’s because they are the real deal. If you would like to reduce this, we suggest frothing the milk as this tends to keep them held in suspension a bit longer.
