Kyushu Green Farm Bone & Iron Kids Aojiru Green Juice, Cocoa, 3g x 15 Sachets

Bone & Iron Aojiru is a cocoa-flavored daily green-juice powder from Kyushu GreenFarm, the aojiru brand of Japan's Shinnippai Pharmaceutical. Built around barley young leaves and six Kyushu-grown vegetables, it is fortified with calcium, iron, DHA, dietary fiber and a full vitamin blend, then sweetened with mellow cocoa so even fussy kids will drink their greens. Each box holds 15 single-serve 3g sachets that stir into milk or water in seconds. Filipino parents love it as an easy way to close the daily vegetable gap for growing children, and it doubles as a thoughtful, authentically Japanese pasalubong for health-conscious families.

1. Pour about 80 to 100 ml of water, warm water or milk into a glass.
2. Add the contents of one 3g sachet.
3. Stir well until fully dissolved (mixing with milk makes the cocoa flavor richer and easier for kids to drink).
4. Drink right away. Enjoy 1 to 2 sachets a day as a guide, as part of a balanced diet.

Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity. Consume each sachet promptly once opened. Because it uses finely milled whole-leaf and vegetable powders, color and taste may vary slightly by harvest with no effect on quality. This is a health food (dietary supplement), not a medicine and not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet; intended as a supplement to children's daily nutrition.

Q: What does it taste like, and will kids actually drink it?

A: It has a sweet cocoa flavor designed for children. Mixing it with milk instead of water makes it taste like a mild chocolate drink, which is why it goes down easily even for picky eaters.

Q: How many sachets a day, and is it medicine?

A: As a guide, 1 to 2 sachets daily mixed into about 80 to 100 ml of milk or water. It is a health food (dietary supplement), not a medicine, so treat it as part of a balanced diet, not a replacement for meals.

Q: Does it contain allergens?

A: The cocoa formula contains milk (lactose) and DHA-containing fish ingredients. Some retailer listings for this product also declare egg and soy. If anyone in the household has a food allergy, please check the actual package label before giving it to children.

Q: How do I store it in the Philippine heat?

A: Keep the box at room temperature away from direct sunlight, heat and humidity, and use each sachet soon after opening.
