Multivitamin for children, 60 tablets

Product detailed description

Parents often ask me whether it is appropriate for their children to take dietary supplements... I always answer that they should focus primarily on the best possible quality and regularity of their family's healthy solid food, self-education in this area, and not use conventional products without first investigating the true suitability of their use and composition. A person should always try to first obtain everything they need for their body (or their child's body) from natural, local sources and focus on them, and if they are missing something, then supplement it again only from supplements that are closest to natural sources and were made by people who understand what they are doing and are not doing it just for profit by gluing and selling several cheaply purchased ingredients together. If you are buying supplements for children, always first and foremost buy concentrated foods and sources of nutrients that are difficult for you to supplement with your children's diet these days. Everything else and special should only correspond to the specific purpose of use (for example, if a child trains really hard and attends a sports club and you know that without a pre-prepared cocktail of some nutrient mixture, he will crave sweets or fast food after training, it is understandable that you would prepare and buy such a cocktail for him). Otherwise, food supplements for children are pointless and can often be inappropriate.

Unfortunately, time and education are evil in many things, and it is not always easy to understand everything about food composition and diet. However, there are people who focus on high quality for themselves, their family and those around them first and foremost, and it is best to take inspiration from them - always look for the main proof in their own example - are they healthy? Do you feel like you are being lied to? Do you not like the composition or price of the products they offer? Always trust common sense, a better indicator light has not yet been invented... :)

I recommend this product, as well as Dr. Mercola, as a top multivitamin for children.

DO YOUR CHILDREN NEED MULTIVITAMIN AND MINERAL SUPPLEMENTS AT ALL?

The reality is that your children are growing mentally and physically at lightning speed. To have the strength to grow, they need proper nutrition and regular exercise. Insufficient nutrition and low physical activity would lead to health problems in the future.

In other words, your children need proper nutrition and exercise, just as much – if not more – than YOU. 

We recommend that you make every effort to plan as many healthy meals as possible – and most importantly, replace sodas and sugary juices with clean, fresh water (for example, with just mint and lemon). Remember – your children will follow you if you don't push them but lead by example.

6 POINTS FOR YOUR CHILDREN'S OVERALL HEALTH

Remember, there is no better time to start than right now!

Lead by example by taking the time to plan family meals with healthy, unprocessed foods.

Replace soda and sugary juices with drinking clean, potable water

Limit the time spent in front of the TV, go outside and exercise more together 

Get plenty of sunlight

Supplement your family's diet with a high-quality multivitamin with essential minerals

Remember that your children will follow your example and at the same time need your help in getting proper nutrition. So, just as you should consider taking multivitamin supplements, you should insist that your children do the same. Keep in mind that children are growing every day and need healthy nutrition to support their growth – even more so than you! Give your kids an exclusive multivitamin that's designed to help you and them. 

USE CAUTION WHEN CONSIDERING A CHILDREN'S MULTIVITAMIN WITH IRON!

Most children's multivitamins contain some problematic ingredients and can be downright risky for your children. Dr. Mercola warns that too many formulas contain artificial and potentially toxic ingredients.

Here are examples of what Dr. Mercola considers to be potential risk ingredients.

Multivitamin Ingredients / Description

Iron / If a child consumes the entire package, they may overdose and die OR if the extra iron is not needed by the child, it may cause problems

Artificial Flavors /Term used for unknown synthetic and man-made chemicals

Carrageenan/ Food additive, causing possible gastrointestinal disorders

Hydrogenated vegetable fat/ This fat is a trans fat and can weaken your children's immune and cardiovascular systems

Aspartame / Artificial sweetener (also known as NutraSweet™) has been linked to possible problems with the immune and nervous systems.

Red dye/ Synthetic dye that has been shown to possibly cause damage to the colon system

Yellow and blue dye/ Synthetic dye that has been shown to potentially cause hyperactivity and behavioral disorders in children

Magnesium stearate (or stearic acid)/Potentially toxic metal additive from pill and hardened fat manufacturing

WHY IRON IN MULTIVITAMINS CAN BE PROBLEMOUS FOR YOUR CHILD

It is clear that almost all children need iron and may even have a deficiency. This is in contrast to almost all postmenopausal women and adult men, where iron supplementation, according to Dr. Mercola, is usually toxic and can increase the risk of cancer and heart disease.

However, iron can also be toxic to children if they consume large amounts. It is common for children to consume the entire package at once, thinking it is candy.

WHEN IT COMES TO IRON, DR. MERCOLA SEES THREE OPTIONS FOR YOUR CHILDREN

Good option – Find out if your child needs an iron supplement. If so, make sure the bottle has a child-resistant cap and keep it out of the reach of children. Better option – Make sure the supplement does not have iron in the form of ferrous sulfate. It should be in the form of iron carbonyl. There have never been any reported deaths from this type of iron. It is very safe. The best option – Give your children a multivitamin that is completely iron-free. Ensure that children get iron from their diet regularly.

WHY SOME SUGAR IS NOT SO BAD FOR YOUR CHILDREN

Let's face it. Your kids won't usually consume anything, let alone a multivitamin, unless it tastes really good. So one of the ingredients must be some safe natural sweetener. Otherwise, you will never have success getting your children to marry them.

WHAT ABOUT NATURAL SUGAR?

Natural sugars, such as sucrose, found in fruits and vegetables, are the healthiest sweeteners. However, Dr. Mercola found no evidence of natural sugar in common children's multivitamins. Instead, many of them contain aspartame or high fructose corn syrup—two unhealthy choices. Natural sugar is fine for your kids, in moderation of course. Dr. Mercola recommends 1 g (gram) or less per multivitamin for children.

Beware of some multivitamins that contain up to 3 g of sugar or more.

MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD'S SUPPLEMENTS ARE ALLERGEN-FREE

Allergens can cause potential health problems for you and your children. Dr. Mercola only recommends products that are all-natural, free of ANY major potential allergens, and completely FREE of artificial ingredients.

Does not contain potentially hazardous ingredients and allergens:

Yeast and wheat gluten

Soy protein

Dairy ingredients

Corn

Sodium and starch

Artificial colors, preservatives and flavors

Sweeteners – make sure it is a natural sweetener and has one gram or less per serving and does not contain high fructose corn syrup

EASY DIGESTIBILITY AND USABILITY

In the digestive process, where inorganic minerals are present in your digestive system, the process of chemical conversion begins to operate – the chemical binding of an inorganic molecule to an organic molecule. The name of this process is chelation, which creates a final product called a chelate.

This chelate can be seen at the cellular level as an organic compound that can already be absorbed and used in the child's body. However, the digestive system of children is not an ideal biological world.

However, many things can affect the effectiveness of the natural chelation process. Minerals can come into contact with what are called "adversaries" and then pass through your children's bodies without being absorbed.

LOOK FOR CHELATED MINERALS IN YOUR CHILDREN'S MULTIVITAMINS

So choose a supplement that has minerals bound to organic molecules in a form that your child's body can absorb. The organic molecule commonly used is an amino acid, so in a mineral complex it is called an amino acid chelate.
