As mums, it’s important to us to know that our children are receiving the right nutrition to grow and develop normally.
During this time of critical growth, it is essential that children receive not only an adequate supply of all of the micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) but also macronutrients (energy in the form of calories, protein, carbohydrate and fat).
Introducing Sustagen Kid Essentials …a great tasting, nutritionally complete drink for children aged 1-10.
Sustagen Kid Essentials is a great tasting, nutritionally complete drink for children aged 1 – 10. It is high in protein and contains 27 vitamins and minerals to help support growth and recovery. Sustagen Kid Essentials gives kids the taste they love, the nutrition they need.
How do I know if my child needs a nutritional supplement?
Nutritional supplements may be recommended by your healthcare professional when:
children aren’t eating and drinking as much as they would normally
help is needed with weight gain or to slow down weight loss
growth is suboptimal
nutritional intake is reduced due to illness
How do I use Sustagen Kid Essentials?
Add Sustagen Kid Essentials to smoothies & milkshakes, add to pancakes, cupcakes and muffins, sprinkle over cereal or fruit and yoghurt or simply make up a wholesome glass of Sustagen Kid Essentials. To prepare, mix 7 scoops or 55g of powder into 210mL of water or milk.
Where can I purchase Sustagen Kid Essentials?
Sustagen Kid Essentials is only available at pharmacies. The recommended retail price is $28.95 for a 900g tin.
In the Sustagen Kid Essentials Product Review, mums will receive a 900g tin of Sustagen Kid Essentials to use with their children. We asked them to put Sustagen Kid Essentials to the ‘Real Mum, Real Life’ test and post their review and ratings.
had to buy some more today. the kids love it. they only have one glass a day but they love that glass. and they never forget to have a glass. I am very happy with this product. it has cut flavoured milk out of the picture for good I think.
My kids have a real love of flavoured milk. and due to the amount of sugar and lack of goodness (apart from the milk itself) they are not allowed to drink it unless its a special occasion or a treat. this product as made my kids very happy. they are now allowed one glass of "flavoured milk" per day. they think all their Christmases have come at once. It good for them and they love it.
Sustagen Kid Essentials gives me complete peace of mind!
I have been using Sustagen Kid Essentials for the last two years. I now have three children that have it on a daily basis. I go through roughly eight tins a month. My five year old is an extremely fussy eater, and I was often concerned about whether or not he was getting enough nutrients to meet the requirements for his age.
Kid Essentials gives me peace of mind as it is extremely nourishing and my fussy eater enjoys the taste of it without a problem. I will definitely be starting my fourth little one on it as soon as he reaches twelve months as it is an excellent product and I highly recommend it!

I had never seen this product before until i came across it on word of mums, i was amazed at what other mums where saying about the product on the reviews so again this is another product i decided to try My kids are so fussy so for me getting this would help them in alot of way, they loved the taste of it and they had fun mixing it together now they drink it daily so thank you to all the mums on here
after reading the reviews i got this for the kids, they loved it, and reading all the benefits like Sustagen Kid Essentials is a nutritionally complete drink for children aged 1 – 10. It is high in protein and contains 27 vitamins and minerals to help support growth and recovery, gives kids the taste they love, the nutrition they need, why wouldn't you try it?
I happily give my kids this healthy, nutritious, good tasting drink, they love it so much and it is very healthy for them, i love knowing my kids are getting the right nutrients and calcium intake while they are enjoying their drink, its so hard to find something that is all these things
We saw this in the supermarket and decided to try it with our 3yr old son and he loves it. We give him a glass of milk with this in it once a day to help with his vitamin and mineral intake. We will be buying this regularly.
Sustagen Kid Essential is an easy way for me to make sure that my kids are getting the the nutrients they need in their diet. I would highly recommend to any parent wanting to make sure their children also are reaching their daily intake of all the minerals and vitamins needed for great health. Its so very easy to prepare and my kids love it,especially cold just out of the fridge as an after school "snack"
My son loves Sustagen Kid Essentials and thinks it is a treat. I was really struggling with my son eating enough and it took hours eat meal of me saying eat your lunch, or eat your dinner over and over again. I was worried he wasn't getting all the vitamins and nutrients he needed from food so a girlfriend recommended Sustagen Kid Essentials. My son loves it and I love the fact I don't have to worry about him not eating as much and he is getting those vitamins and nutrients from Sustagen Kid Essentials.
I used to drink this when i was breast feeding so i would recommend this to anyone so since my son is a fussy eater n drinker, i was told to get this. My son wouldnt have a bar of it either my daughter too. I would recommend it anyway as i know it helps. A tin full went to the bin. Wasnt happy. It was the vanilla one that i got. I wonder if chocolate would have won? Havent seen chocolate around though.
My daughter went through a period where she would barely eat anything (despite our baby led weaning and getting her to help prepare food, etc). I tried this as I always use Sustagen myself when I am not getting enough nutrients but, unfortunately, she can't stand the taste. I have tried putting it in things but she can always detect it.
this has nutritional value is and is 900 grams for a tin size. At $30 a tin it is expensive however my son is coeliac and has a lot of allergies and has a lot of trouble eating some foods but this certainly helped him get his nutrinol value every day. He really enjoyed the taste a bit too much I had to limit the him drinking it as it so expensive I can't afford him drinking more than one a day. In saying this it does last over a month so it's under a dollar a day so not too bad . I will need to budget too have this but when my son went and got his blood test done again his iron levels where up and his vitamins and bloods levels where good so this I highly recommend. My family all enjoyed this and my go and doctor was pleasantly surprised by the seats also.
The kids enjoyed the taste of Sustagen Kid Essentials and it is a brand that I trust to adequately contribute to my childrens daily needs. It is very easy to prepare and the kids liked the smell and taste of it. I found it to be very expensive at close to $30 per tin and while it would last a while at the 900g quantity it won't become part of my grocery budget.
I really enjoy adult sustagen so I thought it would be a great idea to try sustagen for children. I found this product exceptionally easy to prepare. It smells good and according to the children, it tastes good too. I would definitely purchase this product again. I gave the children a glass of sustagen with our meals just to give them an extra boost in their day. I recommend sustagen for kids to anyone looking to add extra into their children's diet.
Kids think it's yummy, mums think it's easy to prepare!
I would recommend this product and since starting it in fact do recommend it to friends with fussy kids especially. My daughter is very fussy and a vegetarian so it is important for her to get the extra micronutrients that she may be missing out on. Her health is absolutely perfect. I would buy this again and again the price is value for money. It is also very easy to prepare just adding in the scoops to the recommended dose as per the back of the tin. I add it to soups also, and custards, yogurt and many other of Charlottes meals, and she really seems to enjoy them more when I have added some of this wonderful product. Sustagen is a brand i have known since I was young and i have no hesitation in trusting Sustagen. I also find that because it is a well known brand that it gives me that extra peace of mind, because Brands that are not generally well known and not generally as highly purchased and spoken about. In my video review you can see my normally smiling cheerful princess fully concentrating on her mily deliciouse drink! Its so cute and please do try it at least once.
It was easy to make, from a trusted brand and reasonably priced. I was really excited to try because my son doesnt eat near enough of the foods he should and im tired of fighting him to eat the good stuff, unfortunatly he really didnt like it at all and after the first try declared it yucky and refused to try again. My youngest liked it which was good becase at least it wont go to waste. Ill probably offer it again to my fussy eater but im unsure if ill have much luck.
i bought this to try to include this into my fussy toddler's diet. She loves to drink this now although she was not too sure about it at first and it took numerous attempts to get her to try it. I am happy that she is getting the good stuff that she needs so that makes me feel happy
I used this for my daughter who had little to low apatite, after suggested to use by a doctor my daughter now has her apatite back. I keep a tin in the cupboard at all times
I have a very fussy eater in my house and its hard to get her to get all her nutritionals needs filled, which can get stressful for all! A friend recommended Sustagen kids essentials and I'm now a fan! with 27 vitamins and minerals and high in protein, I'm very happy for my daughter to drink this. The best part is that she loves the taste and its sold at a good price!
My little bit is a very fussy eater right from the start. I used to keep thinking all day what to offer him as he wouldn't eat anything. My friend suggested me this product and I had to try. My kids love it and me too. It gives me peace of mind that they are getting the nutrition they need. It's a win.
the kids love the taste of this Sustagen and will drink it when given. I love it has all of the essentials to help a growing child while providing a good tasting product as well
i managed to get a sample of this from our local chemist to try on my daughter as her health nurse recommended trying this..... my daughter was not eating only drinking and seemed to be tired all the time so i started giving her this and she loves it and i felt assured knowing she was getting all the nutrients she need :)
I give it a 10 out of 10. I have a child who eats practically nothing & thanks to this product she is receiving all the nutrients she needs & has been putting on weight.
This is our bedtime drink. Thats is why i did not think twice to give this to my kids. very nutritious. and it can be used as a meal replacement i give this to my kids because they are very fussy eater. i know that even though they didn't eat much of their meal they still have the nutrients that Sustagen gives. Sad to say that Sustagen is only sold on pharmacys here in Australia so I get mine from Philippines.
I love this product. I have used it from time to time when my boys go through their fussy stages. I always encourage them to eat well but sometimes they can be monsters. Having a product like this on hand though makes things less stressful. If they dont eat much of their dinner etc at least i know if they have a "milkshake" they are getting important vitamins into their little bodies!
I have purchased this before & my kids loved it I would recommend to other parents to give it a go. My eldest wanted it but he is too old to have it but also my youngest just thought she could have it all the time, so I highly recommend trying this if you haven't already
I actually stumbled across this and decided to give it a go. I personally tried it as well. You could probably liken the flavour to that of the old nestle powdered milk, if anyone remembers that. I found that
Although it was convenient if making a drink took a bit of stirring. It took my son a couple of times before he sort of got used to it. He actually added Milo to it to enrich the flavour. It served a purpose as I have it to
A nutritionally complete supplement for children aged 1-10 with a great taste that they want more each day.
Contains all the vitamins and minerals as well as protein, fat and energy children need for healthy growth and development and also contains prebiotics and probiotics for digestive health, We have made it part of our daily routine so even when the kids are having a off day i know they are getting what their bodies need.

‘I Grabbed My Car Keys And RAN!’ The New Supermarket Bread Everyone’s Talking About
Mum-of-two Rebecca McCracken has spent the last four years reading ingredient lists on pretty much everything she buys at the supermarket.
Like many parents raising kids with food allergies, a quick trip to the supermarket often means checking labels, comparing products and hoping to find something the whole family can eat.
Bec’s four-year-old son and 17-month-old daughter were both born with cow’s milk protein allergy. While her son has since outgrown his allergies, her toddler still reacts to dairy, making even everyday staples like bread a challenge.
“Unless we buy expensive sourdough for seven or eight dollars, we don’t really have a choice.”
Even then, it’s not ideal.
“A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich,” Bec laughs. “And fairy bread on sourdough is not great.”
A New Loaf On The Block
Bec runs an online community for allergy families, so she spends plenty of time sharing recipes, product finds and supermarket discoveries with other parents.
It was one of those parents who first told her about new JUST bread.
“A follower messaged me and said, ‘Oh my gosh, this bread is coming soon.’ I was like, ‘Where? When? I need to know. I’m getting my car keys and running!'”
Made with baker’s flour, water, yeast, vinegar, oil and salt, JUST bread contains no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours.
For Bec, it sounded almost too good to be true. “When we saw JUST bread, I was like, ‘You’re joking.’ A bread that’s fresh baked but in the bread aisle? That’s unheard of for us.”
“It was really exciting for our family and for the allergy community.”
The Family’s Toughest Critic Approved
Of course, there was one person whose opinion mattered more than anyone else’s.
“My toughest critic is my daughter. She is so fussy. We know something is really good if she approves it, and she approves it. She loves it. She’ll eat it plain, toasted, as French toast … whatever. She loves it.”
Bec says she was impressed too.
“I like it. I like that it’s only got minimal ingredients and doesn’t have the additives and preservatives that are in a lot of other brands.”
A Simpler Option For Everyday Families
Bec tried out JUST bread because of her family’s allergies, but she says it has a broader appeal.
“I think everyone is becoming more conscious of additives and preservatives in their food.”
It’s a feeling many of us can probably relate to. We don’t all want to overhaul the way we eat, but plenty of us are paying a little more attention to ingredient lists and looking for products that keep things simple.
Bread is one of those foods that’s always around. It ends up in lunchboxes, on the breakfast table, alongside soup on a cold night and covered in hundreds and thousands at birthday parties. When we eat something that often, it’s only natural to wonder what’s in it.
JUST bread keeps things simple with a handful of pantry ingredients and no artificial preservatives, flavours or colours. It’s the sort of loaf that fits easily into busy family life without asking us to compromise on taste or convenience.
Little Changes, Big Difference
For Bec, finding a loaf of bread her whole family can enjoy is about more than ticking another item off the shopping list.
“It seems like such a little thing to the normal community, but for us this is a massive win.”
Being able to make sandwiches without worrying about ingredients. Packing lunchboxes a little more easily. Bringing back fairy bread for birthdays. Sometimes it’s the little things that make family life feel a whole lot simpler.
And while Bec found JUST bread because she needed another allergy-friendly option, its simple ingredient list is likely to appeal to plenty of other families too. After all, when we can choose everyday foods made with ingredients we recognise, that’s a pretty good place to start.
JUST Bread is made on a line that also processes soy and sesame.
Mouths of Mums is proudly working with JUST. to bring you this article. JUST bread is made with just a handful of pantry ingredients. JUST. The Good Stuff.
I am so glad to hear about this and will definitely be on a look out for this in the supermarket. I have noticed that there are starting to be more ‘cleaner’ products in the supermarket, meaning consumers are being heard. We are going full circle back to how foods use to be produced before companies got greedy and started taking shortcuts to producing food items. I hope we continue seeing more preservative and additive free options that are affordable come back in the supermarkets.

Grabbing your car keys and running for a bread ?? I can’t imagine doing so for a bread lol ! It’s nice to see that more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and put on the market.
I don’t agree with the statement that “A kid doesn’t want to eat a sourdough sandwich”. It depends on what type of bread you introduce to your kids. My kids grew up with 7 seeds, rustic bread and sourdough and they love it. It’s also quite easy and cheap to make sourdough bread yourself.
I haven’t seen this bread in the supermarket but will be looking for it now. I have been trying to avoid preservatives and additives for some time now and as highlighted in the article bread it difficult to find, or super expensive, without them so I don’t have it often.
This is fantastic, finally a bread that is not full of nasty stuff. I will be going straight out to buy this. My son has ARFID and will only eat white bread, but it’s not terribly healthy. With this bread, at least I know that it is much healthier than the alternatives. Woohoo
I cant wait to give this bread a go (so far its always been sold out at my local woolies so it must be good). So good its suitable for those with allergies too. I think nowadays were all looking for cleaner options of ingredients in our foods so this is a step in the right direction.
I am glad more and more allergy friendly products are being produced and offered. I don’t agree with Bec’s statement that kids don’t like sourdough bread. My kids were introduced to sourdough and the most rustic and seeded breads from the time they started to eat bread, and they love it
Oh I cannot wait to try this bread! We go through that much bread each week and I always feel so guilty with how much my kids have – not anymore! Would love to see them introduce other variants in the future – multigrain and gluten free would be superb!
This is such a great product that I’m looking forward to trying! I’ve only been buying bread from bakeries the last few years because grocery store bread texture was so dense and unpleasant. But the hassle with bakery bread is I can’t get it everywhere! I’ll be really keen to give this a go
