Continuous development of bones, muscles, blood and the brain mean that children have a high nutrient requirement compared to their body size. Meeting those nutritional requirements can be a challenge, as it is common for children to be fussy eaters. You may experience your child refusing to eat certain foods, disliking certain tastes or textures, or being reluctant to try new foods. Children usually grow out of fussy eating and in the meantime nutritional supplements such as Wellkid Multi-vitamin Liquid can help safeguard a child's nutritional intake as part of a balanced diet. Government surveys have indicated that children's diets can be low in certain nutrients such as iron, which contributes to normal cognitive development of children. This is especially true for vegetarians, as iron from non-meat sources may not be as easily absorbed by the body. Wellkid Multi-vitamin Liquid is formulated with moderate levels of iron and is suitable for vegetarians. Support for rapid development Wellkid Multi-vitamin Liquid is formulated with iodine which contributes to normal growth in children, plus vitamin D which helps maintain normal growth and development of bone in children. The UK Department of Health recommends young children aged up to 5 years take a daily supplement containing vitamin D. The vitamin D in Wellkid Multi-vitamin Liquid is included in the preferred vitamin D3 form (cholecalciferol) that is naturally produced by the skin when exposed to direct sunlight. Calcium is an essential mineral, also needed for normal growth and development of bone in children. However, it has not been included in the Wellkid Multi-vitamin Liquid formula, as it is not possible to include a meaningful amount in the multi-vitamin formula. For mothers particularly concerned about the normal bone health of their children we recommend Wellkid Calcium Liquid, which contains calcium and vitamin D and can be taken alongside Wellkid Multi-vitamin Liquid.
