Children grow up quickly. As a parent, you’ve probably gone through countless sizes of clothing, ever-changing tastes in food, and a seemingly interminable increase in height as your child grows. Your child’s fast growth rate requires all of the essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients, which they can get from a healthy, balanced diet. However, as you know, kids can be picky eaters, which can make it nearly impossible to give them the vitamins and minerals they need every day. That’s where vitamins come into play. These supplements can make a great addition to your child’s daily routine to help give him or her all of the proper nutrition they need to grow up big and strong. Here are 6 big benefits that vitamins have for your kids: Fills in the Nutritional Gap – If your child is a fussy eater or if he or she simply doesn’t receive the proper nutrition needed daily, vitamins can be a great way to fill in the gaps, so to speak. Our bodies need vitamins and minerals to function correctly, and supplementary vitamins can help cover all the bases to ensure that your child is growing and developing properly. Gives Them Energy – Your child needs plenty of energy to help them grow and enjoy the day. B vitamins, which are typically found in many of the foods we eat, help convert what we eat into energy. However, our bodies have a limited capacity to store B vitamins, so we need to replace them each day. Giving your child vitamins, especially those rich in many of the B vitamins, can help ensure that you are giving them all the energy they need every day. Strengthens Healthy Bones – Calcium and vitamin D are essential for strong, healthy bones and teeth. When your child receives these nutrients in the vitamins you give, you are promoting the growth and development of strong bones not only during their childhood but also into their teenage and adult years. Supports Healthy Eyes – Proper nutrition, including plenty of beta-carotene and vitamin A, is vital for strong eye development and health. Children’s vitamins that include these nutrients can help give your child everything he or she needs to develop healthy eyes and sustain healthy vision. Strengthens the Immune System – As a parent, you probably know that children often bring a slew of germs and bugs home with them from school. That’s because their immune systems are still developing and are not as strong as an adult’s. Fortunately, you can help give your child’s immune system a boost with supplementary vitamins, especially those that contain zinc and vitamin C. Helps Support a Healthy Brain – A child needs the right nutrients, particularly iodine, to think properly, process information, and grow mentally. However, a recent study has shown that 1 in 3 children did not receive enough iodine between the ages of 8 and 10. A multi-vitamin that contains iodine is a sure way to give your child what he or she needs to develop a healthy brain.
