A new study in the journal Pediatrics associates a link between pesticides and ADHD. The potential contributor is called organophosphate pesticides and is known to cause damage to the nerve connections in the brain, which is how they kill agricultural pests. Children are most likely to ingest this chemical through their diet. Rest assured that PediaSmart® contains no pesticides and is free of artificial colors and flavors.

Parent's Testimonial

Ensure to PediaSmart®
We have been ordering PediaSmart regularly for a while now for our 9 year old that is completely dependent on tube feeding. It is the only organic non-gmo product available for this purpose that we have ever found. Our son's nutritionist and pediatrician were both unaware of it before, but after looking into it they were very positive about us changing from Ensure to PediaSmart.
Thank You
I just wanted to say thank you!!! My son is almost 4 months old and has been on 7 different formulas before I found yours. If this did not work he was going to be put on a RX formula. With every other formula he screamed and had more problems than you could imagine. I buy it directly from your website and I have it so quickly its amazing. I also purchased the vanilla shake for my step son who is 6 and loves it ! Again, THANK YOU - THANK YOU
