Your kid needs a wide range of nutrients, both essential and nonessential, to maintain good health. Essential nutrients cannot be made by the body by itself or may be produced in minimal amounts only and hence, they are best consumed through diet. Your little one also requires various minerals, which are needed by the body to function properly.
Kids with calcium and vitamin D deficiency may also have weaker bones. Mild anemia among kids can affect learning and behavioral activities. Many parents provide nutritious food but many kids do not like to eat them and thus become deficient in the required vitamins. This is why vitamin supplements for kids are essential for their growth.
Avoid These in Your Vitamin Supplements
Have a close look at the list of ingredients. Many vitamins have sugar as one of their ingredients. Avoid the ones that use synthetic ingredients as they are hard to digest and are also not safe, like whole food-based ingredients. Do not opt for vitamins that have parabens, polysorbate and other artificial colorings or flavorings.
Points to Consider
Keep in mind that a vitamin supplement does not make up for unhealthy poor diets. Provide a healthy diet and make kids have fruits and vegetables instead of junk food
