At Kiid Coffee, we believe in nutrition that's backed by science. While we agree a balanced diet based on whole foods is ideal, the reality of parenting and the mass production of food means children may still not get all of the nutrients they need on a daily basis.

This is why every ingredient in Kiid Coffee is carefully selected to support growing minds and bodies. Below, we break down the research behind what makes Kiid Coffee exceptional.

Coffee shouldn't just be for grown-ups—it’s one of the richest sources of antioxidants, helping to reduce inflammation and support overall health. Hundreds of studies correlate coffee consumption to a lower risk of many diseases and even longer life.

Sorry non-coffee drinkers, the science is real, and it wasn't paid for by 'big coffee'.

🔬 Coffee’s protective effects on overall health

 

Most children's multivitamins contain very little essential minerals, leaving critical gaps in kids' nutrition while actively misleading parents to believe otherwise.

Studies show that over 64% of kids aged 9-18 don’t meet their minimum daily calcium needs (and 32% of kids aged 2-8).

Kiid Coffee contains over 150mg of calcium, but when mixed into milk, kids can get an even bigger boost of calcium and PROTEIN—two key nutrients for strong bones and muscle development. 

Since 90% of bone mass develops before age 18, the effects of low calcium intake last a lifetime.

Additionally, magnesium and iron are important minerals for children’s brain function and overall neurological health, yet these are often overlooked in kids’ diets. Kiid Coffee is formulated with key minerals like magnesium and iron to support cognitive function and nervous system health.

A healthy gut is essential for overall well-being, and prebiotic fiber plays a key role in supporting gut heath and even calcium absorption—critical for strong bones. Additionally, prebiotics enhance iron absorption, making them an important part of a child’s diet.

Despite its benefits, most kids don’t get enough fiber. Research shows that children consume far less than the recommended daily fiber intake, which we now know impacts health in many ways. Kiid Coffee provides an easy way to incorporate more prebiotic fiber into their diet.

Ever heard that coffee helps get things moving in the morning? Yes, coffee, including decaf, has been shown to stimulate digestion and promote healthy bowel movements, making it a natural digestive aid, even for children.

Although coffee cannot claim the same effect as a laxative, studies suggest it could be a natural alternative to Miralax. This research confirms that coffee can improve gut motility and overall digestive health.

Coffee is packed with powerful antioxidants and health benefits, but kids don’t need a full caffeine boost.

While the U.S. FDA has no official guidelines on caffeine intake for children, public health authorities in Canada and the European Union acknowledge that low levels of caffeine are safe.

However, many parents do not realize how much caffeine is hidden in everyday foods and drinks AND research confirms that higher doses of caffeine can impact sleep, increase anxiety, and affect focus and behavior in children. 

That’s why Kiid Coffee reduces caffeine to a negligible amount—less than chocolate—with as little as 1 mg per serving. For comparison, a 12oz can of Coke has 34 mg of caffeine, while a standard cup of coffee contains from 80mg to 180 mg of caffeine!

Kiid Coffee isn’t just a fun morning ritual—it’s real nutrition with real benefits. With antioxidants, prebiotic fiber, essential vitamins AND minerals, and less caffeine than chocolate, we’re leveraging science to give kids a truly better start to their day.
