All-round Support for Growing Kids

Introduction

Whether your children refuse to eat all the green food or eat only hamburgers, you know that getting them to eat a well-balanced diet is not easy. Children are notoriously picky eaters and making sure they get the nutrients their growing bodies need can be a challenge.
Growth is rapid during the first 12 years of a child’s life. Studies show that children who do not consume enough nutrients often have poor immunity and are more susceptible to infections, leading to getting sick more often1. Mothers worry when children fall sick all the time, and sick days will interfere with growth. As your children start to grow older, it is important to lay strong nutrition foundations to attain their fullest potential.

Say Goodbye to Sick Days

Children love to explore the world by placing things they find into their mouths, and some of these items may not be as sanitized as we hoped. They are also exposed to other environments such as daycare, playgroups, and school, making it nearly impossible to keep them germ-free. While being exposed to germs and viruses is unavoidable, we can take proactive action to strengthen their immune systems through adequate nutrients. This could help reduce the frequency and severity of illness they might catch especially during this post-pandemic season.

Healthy Children Lead Fuller Lives

Immunity is so important because your children need their health to learn in school, play with other kids and grow up optimally. Multivitamins and minerals are a quick and easy way to fill in a few micronutrient gaps. The following are some key nutrients that your child might benefit from2.:

  • Vitamin A: Support healthy eyesight, immune system as well as cell and tissues growth
  • Vitamin B5 and B6: Help in the metabolism of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates
  • Biotin: Help in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates
  • Folic Acid: Essential for cell division (particularly red blood cells) and growth
  • Vitamin B12: Aid the formation of red blood cells and maintain healthy nerve function
  • Vitamin D3: Help in healthy bone and teeth development
  • Vitamin E: Potent antioxidant to fight against free radical
  • Lodine: Essential for the formation of thyroid hormones, which controls the metabolism, growth, and development
  • Zinc: Essential for growth, cell division, nutrient metabolism, and immunity
