Children's vitamins, 120 lozenges

Strengthening in stressful times: Multivitamins in child-friendly doses

Children have special needs. This also applies to the supply of vitamins and minerals. On the one hand, children need smaller amounts of some nutrients to maintain their health because they are much smaller. On the other hand, children need considerably more of some vitamins and especially minerals because they are growing, e.g. building materials such as calcium.
A wholesome, healthy diet is actually completely sufficient for the health of our children; an additional intake of vitamins and minerals should not actually be necessary for children.
Unfortunately, however, our children's diets are not always like the textbooks on wholefood nutrition. There are also children with special needs.
Reasons for giving children additional vitamins could be

• Too little time for the child to always prepare everything fresh, e.g. for parents with very busy jobs or single parents
• Children who only eat very few foods and meals and refuse to eat fresh fruit and vegetables
• For children who are noticeably ill more often, e.g. due to colds, ear infections, etc., the additional administration of vitamins to strengthen the immune system would be worth a try
• To prepare the child for major stress (upcoming skiing holiday, school trip, camp...). Studies have shown, for example, that vitamin C can reduce the risk of catching a cold if taken as a preventative measure some time before such an event.

Special nutrient requirements for children

The following nutritional value table is prescribed by law. Unfortunately, it is one of the absurdities of EU law that we are not allowed to give the nutritional value table for children here; this table with NRV values, which applies to adults, is prescribed!
Under this linkyou will find the possibility to look up the requirements of children of different age groups!

Note from EnergyVital

The manufacturer's recommended intake is a legally prescribed text, which sometimes makes more sense, sometimes less, but which the legislator, i.e. the EU, does not take into account. See our note on the nutritional value table, where we also have to state the NRV values for adults for EU reasons, even if this cannot be surpassed in terms of pointlessness in this case.
We therefore recommend our customers (as always) to think for themselves:
Is your child eating a reasonably healthy diet, but does he or she currently or probably have an increased requirement? E.g. upcoming cold season, upcoming hiking holiday with the school class: Choose a medium requirement!
If your child is extremely fussy with fruit and vegetables and has a very one-sided diet: then logically more to prevent at least the worst damage that will result from such a diet in the long term.
Is your child generally healthy, eats just about everything and the parents pay a lot of attention to wholefood nutrition? In this case, an additional vitamin supplement is unnecessary.
