When we become parents, we receive one of life’s greatest sources of happiness — along with one of its greatest responsibilities. Those who are able to give their children everything they need to live a balanced and joyful life are truly fortunate. Alongside fresh air and physical activity, restful sleep, and a positive atmosphere at home and in the community, nutrition is one of the most important foundations of a child’s physical and emotional well-being. If you would like to read more about this topic, you can find our previously published article on our website.
Providing children with all the important nutrients in the right quality, quantity and proportions can be especially challenging, as children are not equally receptive to different foods at every age. When it comes to carbohydrates, minimally refined sources are preferable, while fermented options are a good choice among dairy products. Yet there may be years when children refuse vegetables or even fruit, and not every child enjoys live-culture yogurt. Egg yolks, organ meats, fatty fish and seafood can be even more difficult to include in their diet.
We consider giving children a multivitamin especially useful during periods when it is difficult to encourage them to eat a varied, nutritious diet and they are therefore less cooperative with healthy food choices. Our product was created for precisely these situations, incorporating the knowledge and experience gained from developing our multivitamins and prenatal supplements for adults. Most of the carefully selected ingredients are included in the same forms, but adjusted proportionally to body weight, with dosing designed per 15 kg of body weight. Compared with our GAL+ products, the formula contains proportionally more
omega-3 fatty acids to support children’s nervous and immune systems as well as brain development. Because rapid growth places particular demands on the developing skeleton, calcium also has an important role in a children’s multivitamin, which is why we have added it to the complementary drink powder. In addition, if a child’s diet is particularly low in calcium, we recommend supplementing it with our soon-to-be-released calcium product in small capsules designed specifically for children.
You chose this product with loving care, and we take that trust seriously. Just as adults look for a truly comprehensive multivitamin, our children deserve the same if they are willing to take one. A manufacturer’s greatest responsibility comes when the end users are children. May they grow up happy and healthy and enjoy long, wonderful lives.
