Shawn Johnson East, a four-time Olympic medalist and mother of three, has partnered with prominent performance wellness brand Beam to introduce Beam Kids. This innovative superpower, which was formulated with input from pediatricians, is tailored for children aged two and older.
Shawn Johnson East enthusiastically shares her motivation for collaborating with Beams: "As a gold medalist and mom, nutrition has always been a top priority for me. When it came to my kids, I found myself in the same struggle so many parents face — trying to get them to eat healthier. Every supplement I found was missing something: kids' greens without probiotics, probiotics without vitamins, or vitamins without a kid-friendly flavor. That’s why I co-created Beam Kids.
The product is positioned to address common gaps in children’s nutrition by integrating multiple health benefits into one product. Beam Kids combines over 40 essential ingredients, including greens, probiotics, and vitamins, to support children’s growth and bone development, gut health, immune function, and focus. The superpower boasts a chocolate milk flavor, making it more appealing to the younger demographic.
