Kid's Supplements

Does Your Kid Need Supplements?

Supplements may not be necessary for healthy kids who have a well-balance diet. However, many kids are picky eaters, insisting on a diet of chicken nuggets and fish fingers, making it hard to meet the nutrient needs of their growing bodies. Minerals and vitamins for children can help fill in these gaps.

Before you add any supplements to your kid's diet, run it past your healthcare provider. Overdoing it with specific vitamins can be harmful; choosing supplements specifically formulated for kids and consulting a health professional first is critical.

What to look for in Kids' Supplements

The most effective supplements will be the one your child is willing to take! Look for fun flavours in chewable forms, but make sure they understand these are vitamins, not lollies. 

Essential nutrients your child may benefit from:

• Vitamin D: Vitamin D is essential for growing bodies but can be hard to source from food along. Kids' vitamin D supplements can help combat this; we stock a range of such supplements. 
• Iron: Iron-rich foods aren't often at the top of your kid's list of favourite foods, so it can be challenging to get enough of it into their diets. Iron is vital to moving oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body and assists muscles in storing and using it. A lack of iron can cause serious health concerns, including mood issues, fussy eating and tiredness. If your child lacks iron in their diet, you should suggest adding iron supplements to your doctor during your next visit.
