Media is one of the greatest influencers when it comes to choosing our kid's vitamins, but what the media usually shows is not always the best.
Nearly 70% of children's vitamins come from either syrup or gummy form. While this may make them appealing to children, that may not be a good thing as hundred of parent's rush to the emergency room each year with children who ate or consumed the whole bottle.
Vitamins shouldn't be seen as a candy or a treat; your child's vitamins should be given with a meal. Do not make them a reward or a chore. Very few people truly understand how difficult it is to make a children's chewable vitamin that is complete, palatable, low in sugar and without any artificial sweeteners or flavors. There are many companies that provide products with some of these characteristics, but very few have the whole package.
Growing children require higher amounts of magnesium, calcium and other minerals. Trace minerals like selenium, manganese, copper, chromium, and molybdenum are needed as well but unfortunately is not found in most leading children's vitamins in the Philippines.
We've always said food first to get your child's recommended daily dose of vitamins but the reality is that most diets are deficient in many areas. And in many ways, nutrition is even more crucial in children who are actively growing and developing, kilo by kilo each day. Many studies show that our children do not receive the nutrition they need from diet.
The best source of your child's vitamins should contain the right formulation, the suited raw ingredients of high quality to ensure maximum potency, purity and bioavailability and a formulation that should come from a Pharmaceutical Grade manufacturing facility.
Great news, because USANA Health Sciences, a US-based nutritional company that manufactures high-quality supplements, personal care, and food products; introduces USANIMALS, the vitamins that can provide all the nutrients a child needs for daily nutrition and overall health.
