Supporting children's health naturally with kids' vitamins

Vitamins are vital to the human body, especially for kids. The deficiency of essential nutrients can adversely affect the body's development and children’s overall health. Our bodies can produce only three of the 13 known vitamins, the rest we should get from food. However, ensuring an adequate diet for a child can be challenging, and supplements might be a good option. Mr Vitamins offers a wide range of kids' vitamins from leading manufacturers in Australia. Explore our selection to find what is best for your children.

What are the benefits of vitamins for kids?

As a child's body develops, vitamins help regulate organ functions, maintain all body systems, and promote healthy growth. Vitamins for kids can support:

  • A harmonious development of mental abilities, emotions, and speech;
  • Metabolic balance;
  • Digestive health;
  • A coordinated function of biological systems;
  • Maintaining proper levels of energy and strength for playing and learning.

Food is the best source of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients. But when it comes to children, following a healthy, nutrient-rich diet can be challenging. Dietary supplements may be an effective solution for kids who are very selective about their food preferences. 

Taking kids' vitamins can help provide vital macro- and micronutrients and promote healthy growth and development of all body systems.

The best vitamins for kids

There are many factors to consider when choosing vitamins for kids, including their age, health status, diet, and mental and physical activity. No single multivitamin fits everyone.

As with any medication, it is crucial to understand the purpose of vitamin therapy. Each vitamin performs a particular function in the body. For example, vitamin C is essential for appetite and digestion, vitamin A, zinc, and copper for eye health, calcium, phosphorus, and selenium for bone and joint strength, and B vitamins are essential for proper stress management.

In choosing the right kids’ vitamins, you should also consider age-related needs:

  • During the first three years of life, children require sufficient levels of vitamins A, B, C, D, and PP.
  • At the age of 4-5 years, there is a period of active growth during which nutrients like calcium and phosphorus are essential to the body.
  • For 6-7 year olds, vitamin supplements should contain vitamins A, B, C, and E, folic acid, iodine, iron, and magnesium.
  • At the age of 7-9, all body systems and the brain actively develop. It can also be a stressful time (more responsibilities at school), which means kids need vitamins C, E, A, D3, B6, and B12, folic and pantothenic acids, iron, manganese, and copper.
  • Children over ten need almost the same vitamin and mineral intake as adults. 

If you are not sure what kids' vitamins to choose, feel free to contact us - our team of experts is always ready to help you find the right product. You can also book a free online call with one of our practitioners to discuss your and your kids' health needs.

How to take kids’ vitamins

Consult your doctor before giving vitamins to your kids. Additionally, you should ensure that the supplements you purchase are age-appropriate for your child. To avoid side effects, carefully follow the instructions on the label or as indicated by your doctor.

Generally, kids' vitamins have a pleasant taste and smell and do not contain any chemicals, dyes or other additives. They are available in many convenient forms: chewable tablets, syrups, gummies, candy, water-soluble tablets, powders, and more, so you can choose the best option for your children.

You can find more information on supplementation, healthy nutrition, and lifestyle in our health advice blogs written by qualified nutritionists and practitioners. We only recommend foods and supplements that we believe will benefit your health.
