Supporting Children's Health Needs

Children's health needs vary, especially during growth phases and during times of seasonal health challenges, such as in the winter months when colds and viruses are more common.

  • Immune Function: Boosting the body's natural defenses.
  • Respiratory Health: Supporting lung function and overall respiratory wellness.
  • Healthy Stress Management: Helping children cope with daily stressors in a healthy way.

FAQs

Why are children's vitamins important?
Children's vitamins are essential for filling nutritional gaps in their diets, which can be common if a child is a "picky" eater who eats a restricted diet. Supplements are a convenient way to boost children's nutrient intake, supporting healthy growth and aiding in cognitive and physical development.

When should my child start taking vitamins?
The appropriate age for children's supplements can vary depending on the specific product and its ingredients. It's best to consult a pediatrician to determine the best time to introduce vitamins into your child's diet. For example, vitamin D may be introduced when a child is an infant, while omega-3s and probiotics may be recommended for young childhood and beyond.

Can children's vitamins improve immune health?
Yes, ingredients like vitamin C, elderberry, and probiotics in children's vitamins may help support a healthy immune system and immune defenses, although they work best when combined with a nutrient-rich diet and other healthy habits (like hand-washing and getting good sleep).

Are children's vitamins safe for all kids?
Most are safe, however, it's advisable to consult with a pediatrician before beginning to give your child any new supplements, especially for children with specific health conditions, who take medications, or those with dietary restrictions or allergies.

How do I choose the right vitamins for my child?
Consider your child's age, dietary needs, and any specific health concerns, such as the need for stress support or help adding more greens and fruits to their diet. Consult with a pediatrician for personalized recommendations.
