Supplements For Kids

Children's Health Supplements support kids through the various stages of growth and development. They also help them out in times of nutritional need, such as influenza. This range of products covers essential fatty acids, herbal medicines, vitamins and minerals. 

It is important that children get the recommended amounts of micronutrients, like zinc and magnesium, as well as the macronutrients proteins and essential fats (and to a lesser degree carbohydrates). Sometimes, particularly with fussy eaters, it can be difficult getting enough quality food into children. This is when a micronutrient supplements, containing vitamins and minerals, can make all the difference.

In addition, the Children’s Health Supplements contain fish oils, which are a source of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Although these Omega 3 fatty acids are not considered “essential” for general health, they can certainly be considered essential for optimal health. EPA and DHA are found in fatty fish, and are naturally synthesized in the body—in small amounts—from an essential fatty acid called Linolenic Acid. And guess what, most of us do not eat enough Linolenic Acid! This makes it hard to synthesize enough EPA and DHA. These beneficial fats are required for brain development and have profound effects on all cell membranes of the body—structurally influencing the way cells function. They also help to keep inflammation to a minimum.
