The challenges of healthy eating

Growth is especially rapid during the first 12 years of a child's life. Continuous development of bones, muscles, blood and the brain mean that children have a high nutrient requirement compared to their body size. Meeting those nutritional requirements can be a challenge, as it is common for children to be fussy eaters. You may experience your child refusing to eat certain foods, disliking certain tastes or textures, or being reluctant to try new foods. Children usually grow out of fussy eating and in the meantime nutritional supplements such as Wellkid Multi-vitamin Liquid can help safeguard a child's nutritional intake as part of a balanced diet.

Government surveys have indicated that children's diets can be low in certain nutrients such as iron, which contributes to normal cognitive development of children. This is especially true for vegetarians, as iron from non-meat sources may not be as easily absorbed by the body. Wellkid Multi-vitamin Liquid is formulated with moderate levels of iron and is suitable for vegetarians.

Support for rapid development

Wellkid Multi-vitamin Liquid is formulated with iodine which contributes to normal growth in children, plus vitamin D. Vitamin D is needed for normal growth and development of bones in children. It also contributes to their normal immune system function. The UK Department of Health recommends all children aged up to 5 years should consider taking a daily Vitamin D supplement. The vitamin D in Wellkid Multi-vitamin Liquid is included in the preferred vitamin D3 form  that is naturally produced by the skin when exposed to direct sunlight. (Source: NHS Choices).
