Healthy kids
Growing up, for children, is a source of delight and as they grow they experience remarkable changes, especially as their bodies grow and all in a relatively short period of time. With the amount of energy children use in their play, work and activity great demand is placed on their young bodies. They need a constant supply of good food, minerals and vitamins to ensure healthy growth.

With their love of foods such as crisps, sweets and fatty sugary foods it's not always possible to ensure that children are getting all the nourishment they need to help them develop to their fullest. Ideally all children should eat a well-balanced daily diet of fresh fruit, vegetables, bread, salad, lean meat and fish. If however you are unable to persuade them to eat sensibly there is nothing wrong with giving children mineral supplements. These are not substitutes for the real thing found in fresh food but can help if you are concerned that your child isn't getting enough of the right vitamins.

(Don't forget, always check with your GP if you have any concerns over your child's health or before you consider giving supplements).
