Children’s Support

Children’s support consists of supplements to support healthy growth and maintenance in children. Children have different needs than adults, requiring arginine in addition to the nine essential amino acids and more quantities of certain foods and vitamins as they grow into their full bodies.

It is important that you carefully consider any supplements you provide your child. Aim for dietary and herbal supplements that have rigorous testing procedures in place, are certified for organic products free of contaminants such as drugs, chemicals and metals. Avoid any product that contains steroids, rapid weight loss or contains prescription drugs.

kids should get their vitamins from a balanced, healthy diet that includes milk and dairy products like cheese and yoghurt; plenty of fresh fruits and leafy, green vegetables; protein like chicken, fish, meat, and eggs; and whole grains like steel-cut oats and brown rice.

A daily multivitamin is best for children who do not always get full nutrients from their meals; are fussy eaters; have chronic medical conditions; regularly eat fast food; are on a vegetarian or vegan diet; and who drink carbonated sodas.

Avoid giving your child megavitamins or large dosages of vitamins. Always check with the healthcare provider for the accurate dosage to give your growing child. The six essential vitamins that your kid needs are Vitamin A, Vitamins B2, B3, B6, and B12, Calcium and Iron.

If you are providing your child with gummies or flavoured vitamins, make sure that these supplements are not too sugary. Supplements do not replace eating healthy foods and should not be taken alone without food. Always check with your health care provider to about the effectiveness and possible risks of any complementary health approaches you are considering or already using for your child. All children’s support supplements should act as complementary health approaches, instead of replacing what your child eats.
