Let’s go over the four essential nutrients for children’s growth (iron, zinc, calcium and vitamin D) as well as Bifidobacterium OLB6378, which helps build healthy bodies,
and DHA, which helps develop brainpower.
Iron is a very important nutrient for the proper functioning of brain and body.
During childhood, the brain grows to about 90% of its adult weight and children become very physically active.
Avoiding iron deficiency becomes therefore very important.
Let’s have a look at recommended iron amounts, and actual intake amounts, for 1-3 year old children in different countries
Zinc is an essential nutrient that is present everywhere in the body, including the brain.
It is considered one of the most important nutrients in maintaining young children in good health.
Calcium is an essential nutrient for young children as it is necessary for bones and teeth.
Make sure your children get enough calcium from an early age so they can build strong bodies.
Vitamin D, along with calcium, is an essential nutrient for the health of bones and teeth.
Be sure your child gets sufficient amounts of both vitamin D and calcium to avoid deficiencies.
