Kids’ Nutrition, Vitamins & Wellness Guide

From growth spurts to busy school days, childhood is full of change. During these years, kids are building bones, muscles, brains, and healthy habits that can last a lifetime. That rapid growth also means their nutritional needs are constantly evolving.

The challenge? Many kids don't eat perfectly balanced diets every day. Picky eating, changing appetites, packed schedules, and busy family life can make it difficult to consistently get all the nutrients growing bodies need. The good news is that small, consistent habits can help support your child's nutrition through every stage of growth.

Whether your whole household is vegan or you have a child or teenager that has recently decided to adopt a plant-based diet, it is normal to be concerned about gaps developing in their nutritional needs. You may even have a toddler who just refuses to eat meat or dairy and are now worried about how to get essential nutrients into them. Below is everything you need to know about vegan supplements and whether or not a child really needs them. 

When you read a multivitamin label to check what nutrients it contains, you also need to look for the source of each vitamin. Naturally derived vitamins have a far better absorption rate than synthetic nutrients. This is especially important for children as it affects how quickly and effectively their bodies can use each nutrient. 

With dozens of options on the shelves, with each promising to improve the well-being of your child, how do parents know which multivitamin actually works and is safe to give to them?

We have created an essential check list for kid’s supplements to help parents know what a multivitamin should and shouldn’t have.
