Top 5 Supplements For Children

Kids are any parents’ lifeline. You can easily forget all your pain by just a glance at your child. But what if your child is in pain? Or ill? Or weak? The thought is unbearable and you would just want to shun it away. But denial will not help you, acceptance is the key. A healthy diet is what can keep this suffering at bay and this is what is missing in this high fashion lifestyle that we have adopted. The growing child is in need of a lot of nutrients that can sustain his activities. These can either be provided through a balanced diet or if that is not happening vitamins and minerals supplements for children are another alternative. The top 5 supplements are listed here, do have a look for the health of your kid.

Cod Liver Oil

Cod Liver Oil

This awful tasting oil is rich in omega oils which helps in brain development of small kids. Fish and nuts are ideal sources of omega 3 fatty acids, if your kids can’t eat them the supplement is the only option left. The capsules will have to be swallowed and it’s not gonna be easy so you can go for the gel or liquid versions as well. Hide it tactfully in spreads or smoothies to get it in your child’s tummy easily. All these efforts won’t go in vain, the health and better development of your child is the fruit you’ll receive!

Probiotics

Probiotics

We have all heard about these, they are all the rage in the market. No, they are not over hyped. Rather they are very important for a healthy gut and a healthy gut means a healthier you! Fermented foods can provide the necessary nutrient but that is majorly missing in our daily diets. Supplements are a good option here. The good bacteria in it will keep the harmful ones at bay, increase immunity and thus make your child less prone to illness!

Multi Vitamin

 Multi Vitamin

These are a tricky choice to make. Not all supplements available in the market would do your child good on the health front. No doubt having natural veggies are the best source of vitamins but if that is not an option with your choosy child, scan for the best multi vitamins. A liquid supplement is easier to absorb than capsules. Also the whole food vitamin is a better choice than the synthetic versions, which are difficult to digest! So choose wisely and don't compromise your child’s health!

Trace Minerals

Trace Minerals

As suggested by the name itself, they are the minerals needed by our bodies in small amounts. The water and foods we used to eat were sufficient to get these but now they are washed off and we are facing mineral deficiencies, even in little kids. Supplements can help here but they have to be chosen with utmost care as the synthetic versions are not recognized by our bodies and are often rejected! So its better to go for the natural based supplements but you need to put in more efforts to get your hands on them!

Vitamin K2

Vitamin K2

The dark green leafy veggies are not the answer here, because that is for the Vitamin K1. Strange but these are two different vitamins and serve different purpose. Vitamin K2 is needed to keep heart diseases, cancer, bone weakness and brain abnormalities at bay! The two major natural sources of this wonder nutrient are grass fed animal sources and fermented foods, both of which are absent in your diets. Supplements are the other option but you have to choose between two, the synthetic and natural. You know which to choose, so grab it and ensure your child’s health!

These are the nutrients that a growing child needs for a healthy functioning. These supplements when taken in the right form and proportion will play their part in strengthening your child. But you cannot deny that a balanced diet with all these nutrients in the right quantity will have a better impact. So you may want to sign up for our healthy diet plan for a growing child to enable your child walk on the more natural path of health!
