Do children need vitamin and mineral supplements?
Vita-Complete: A human body begins to build itself from the food it absorbs from the mother’s womb and to proper development must be provided with all necessary ingredients. If there is a deficiency of vitamins and minerals, a child may develop a deficiency disease and not develop properly. They do need increased amount of some vitamins and minerals, while some others can safely be skipped. This is a reason why children should not be fed ‘adult’ supplements. Again, if the child eats properly and has a balanced well prepared diet probably no supplement is needed. On the other hand how often children refuse to eat spinach, or broccoli that provide their organisms with, enough calcium needed at this point to build new growth bone. Moreover, the effects of serious illness, or even a cold, flu, other virus or even pollution may have serious, negative effect on a child’s development and adding vitamin and mineral supplements may be necessary.
