Optimum nutrition is vital for our children’s health and wellbeing, ensuring that they have the necessary building blocks for a lifetime of good health. Of course, we can’t protect our children from everything the outside world will throw at them, but we can make sure we give them the best possible nutritional and lifestyle foundations to carry them through to a healthy, happy life. So how can we best support our kids’ health and nutrition? As children grow, it is important that their nutritional needs are met to help support healthy bones, brain, and immune development in particular. Key vitamins and minerals, like zinc support growth and immunity, and vitamin D and calcium are used for healthy bones and teeth. Also, we need those ‘essential fats’ we get from plants or fish oil, to support development of the brain, as well as providing live bacteria to populate the gut. Sometimes children might have more specific needs too, and certain nutrients can help them.
Our specifically formulated children’s range includes multivitamins, vitamins, fish oils, and live bacteria. Our supplements are designed and used by experts who understand and work with children’s health and are trusted by parents. We have a range of flexible liquids and powders to suit different ages and make them easy to take. They are clinically effective with optimum levels of each nutrient to have maximum effect, and in the best, natural form for the body to use. We carefully design each multivitamin to have the right ratios of nutrients to work synergistically together. All our multivitamins use the methylated forms of folate and vitamin B12 to support the vital process of methylation, and we use chelated minerals. Of course, we avoid unnecessary additives, artificial colours, preservatives & flavours, but ensure optimum product quality and stability. Our supplements are perfect to actively support vegetarian or vegan children too, as they are almost all vegan, in particular, using a special vegan cholecalciferol as a source of vegan vitamin D3.
The Department of Health recommends supplementation of vitamins A, C and D every day for breast fed babies, so we can give children the best start in life with our Baby ACD Plus - a simple liquid, providing vital vitamins A, C and D3 for baby’s immune support with B vitamins and zinc. We have a wide range of live bacteria products, only using the best bacterial strains that have been clinically researched for effectiveness and safety. Our Baby Biotic is an easy-to-use liquid for everyday use and our Baby BioFlora is a specialised blend of live bacteria in a powder for more specific needs. Both are suitable from birth.
As our little ones get a bit older, we can support nutrition generally, and learning and immunity in particular with Children’s Complete Multinutrient - a powder providing all the nutrition they need that can be mixed into food or liquid, to satisfy even the fussiest child. Add a potent orange flavoured liquid fish oil like Children’s OmegaCare for brain function and a live bacteria product like our great-tasting Children’s Strawberry or Banana BioAcidophilus. If you just want to supplement vitamin D as recommended, we also have a simple liquid Baby and Children’s Vitamin D3. For children from the age of 3, especially if they need high strength support, Children’s Mindlinx Multinutrient provides specialist support for children’s learning needs, with optimum levels of magnesium and extra B vitamins like vitamin B6 to support the nervous system and mental wellbeing.
So, whether you’re looking to support your children with an easy to take multivitamin, an immune supporting vitamin D, or something more specific, we’ve got it covered.
