Why do children need vitamins and how to choose them correctly?

Modern children often lack important vitamins and minerals due to malnutrition, sedentary lifestyle and reduced food quality. Even a balanced diet does not always cover the needs of a growing body.

Why do you need vitamins?

• Vitamins C, D and zinc - for a strong immune system

• Calcium and vitamin D -for bone growth

• B vitamins - for metabolism and brain development

• Vitamin E - for healthy cells and skin

• Iron - for blood formation and energy

Deficiency can manifest itself as

frequent colds, fatigue, dry skin, poor growth, and attention problems.

When are supplements especially needed?

• In winter, when there is a lack of sun

• With a limited diet

• During periods of growth and increased stress

How to choose vitamins?

✔ Age

-appropriate ✔ In a child-friendly form

✔ Without artificial additives

✔ Only on the recommendation of a doctor

Which is better - mono- or multivitamins?

• Monovitamines - with a confirmed deficiency

• Multivitamins - for general health support with an unbalanced diet

Important! Do not exceed the dosage. Vitamins are a help, not a panacea. The main thing is an individual approach and consultation with a doctor.
