Acli-Mate® for KIDS!

Many kids complain of fatigue, lack of hunger, nausea and may even vomit when they come to elevation. Parents may or may not recognize this as altitude sickness. Often altitude sickness is misdiagnosed as the flu or travel fatigue. Although all serious altitude sickness should be treated at a medical facility by a physician, mild altitude sickness and the prevention of altitude sickness may be addressed using Acli-Mate® Mountain Sports drink. Kids love the grape and orange flavors. 

Dr. Roanne Houck, N.D. (owner and developer) has two children ages 5 and 3 who love Acli-Mate®! Other fun ways to prepare Acli-Mate® include making it into popsicles, snow cones and smoothies. These are great alternatives in hot summer months and for those picky eaters out there.

Acli-Mate® for Kids:

Mix one packet or scoop in 10-16 ounces of water. Have kids age 2 and older consume at least one full serving throughout the day. For kids ages 12 and older two packets daily may be consumed. Be sure not to give too late in the evenings as the B-Vitamins are energizing and may cause restless sleep. Up until 5 pm is usually fine.

Acli-Mate® Popsicles

Mix one packet or scoop in 8-10 ounces of water. Pour into Popsicle holders and freeze overnight. Have kids eat 1-4 daily or the approximate equivalent of 1 full serving in children ages 2-11 and 1-2 servings in children ages 12-18.

Acli-Mate® Grape Smoothie:

For 2 servings.

Mix 2 scoops of grape Acli-Mate® in 20 ounces of water or dilute grape or blueberry juice. If you use full strength juice it may be too sweet. Add frozen blueberries, ½ banana (frozen if you’d like) ice and blend well.

Acli-Mate® Orange Smoothie:

For 2 servings.

Mix 2 servings of orange Acli-Mate® in 20 ounces of water or dilute orange juice. Add ½ - 1 frozen banana and ice. You may also add pineapple or pineapple juice to taste. Blend well.

Acli-Mate® Snow Cones

Pour a more concentrated preparation of Acli-Mate® - such as 1 scoop mixed with 5-8 ounces of water - over crushed or shaved ice. Prepare in a bowl or cup and eat with a spoon.

Store any unused portion of prepared Acli-Mate product in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours then discard.
