What Vitamins Should I Give My Kids? By Mia Ingui

Introducing vitamins into your child’s daily health routine is an easy and simple way to provide them with tons of nutrients. There are certain nutrients that are essential for kid’s development and growth, and so it is important that they are incorporated in their diet and in a supplement they take. Nowadays, our children aren’t always eating a healthy, balanced diet, and so they aren’t getting all of the nutrients they need each day. This is why adding a supplement to your child’s daily routine can immensely enhance their overall health. Many vitamins are specifically for kids, and they contain the most important nutrients for kids, such as vitamins A, B, C, D, calcium and iron. Vitamins that include all of these are the most effective one for your kids, and here’s why: • Vitamin A promotes natural growth and development, and healthy skin and eyes. • Vitamin B helps metabolism and a healthy nervous system. • Vitamin C promotes healthy muscles and skin. • VitaminD aids bone growth, tooth formation, and helps the body absorb calcium. • Calcium helps to build strong bones. • Iron builds muscles and promotes healthy red blood cells. Wait until your child is at least the age of four before giving them a multivitamin, and try to incorporate as many of these healthy nutrients into their daily diet. If your child takes their vitamins daily and maintains a balanced diet, they will be on the road to lifetime of great health.
