Many young children go through fast periods of growth and development, which increases their need for vitamins, and other nutrients. Ideally, kids would get these from a healthy and balanced diet with a wide variety of nutritious food. But as parents or guardian, we know it can often be quite a challenge to achieve this every day! Kids are famous for distorted habits for eating and sometimes it is just not possible to get all the vitamins and minerals they need to help their bodies grow big and strong. A multivitamin might be a good addition to top up your childs diet, especially the little fussy eaters.

Help fill nutritional gaps

Yumy Gumy – Pectin based in a Gelatin free, Multi-Vitamin in a real natural strawberry flavor may help to fill any nutritional gaps in their diet, particularly the distorted ones. Vitamins are essential for our bodies to function and each one has a specific role to play. Many vitamins are not stored in the body, which means they need to be replaced regularly. A shortage of any one vitamin or mineral can result in poor health.

Maintain healthy immune system function

Kids are very famous and popular for bringing home just about every germs and bacteria going around. This is because their immune system is still developing and is less experienced than their parents.  You can support your childs immunity all year round with a multivitamin, containing nutrients such as vitamin C and zinc to protect against infection and support minor wound healing.

Need Energy

Kids need energy to help fuel their active days. B vitamins help the body convert the food we eat into energy and a good childrens multivitamin should contain many of the B vitamin family. B vitamins are readily found in the food we eat however they are quite delicate and are easily destroyed by cooking and food processing. Our bodies also have a limited capacity to store B vitamins, which means they need to be replaced every day.

B3 (Niacin): B3 supports a healthy nervous system and digestive system, while releasing energy from carbs and supporting healthy blood sugar levels.

B5 (Pantothenic Acid): B5 supports a healthy immune system and combats stress.

B6 (Pyridoxine): B6 helps make neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, which support a healthy immune system and positive mental outlook.

B7 (Biotin): B7 supports healthy glucose function and a healthy mood, while fighting stress and also helps in digestion and metabolism.

B12 (Cyanocobalimine): B12 is the “memory vitamin.” The brain needs it for mental clarity, healthy neurological function and to combat stress. It also helps create the sleep hormone melatonin—for a good nights sleep—and the mood-supporting hormone serotonin.

Support Healthy Eyes

Good nutrition is very important for eye health. Nutrients such as vitamin A keep the eyes healthy and support healthy vision. A good multivitamin for kids will contain vitamin A or beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A as needed by the body.
