Vitamins for children

Often parents of children, especially small children, can not understand: what vitamins for children to give, and which are not? And what dosages of vitamins are correct? This we will now tell.

Why do we need vitamins for children?

With their help the child can develop quickly and easily. Vitamins for children are especially important, since they have the property to regulate all processes in the body, related to physiology and psychological reactions. If hypovitaminosis is observed, the child can be disturbed by growth processes, blood flow slows down and hematopoiesis worsens.

The immune system becomes weak and vulnerable in hypovitaminosis, the child can easily fall ill very quickly. His behavior, too, is the cause of concern for parents: the kid is capricious, shouts, does not sleep well, is easily irritated. Therefore, the best way is to choose the right vitamins for children, taking into account their age and lifestyle.

What dosages do vitamins have for children?

If vitamins for children are used in the wrong doses, the child can get either an overabundance or a lack of certain substances. This negatively affects the health of the baby.

Parents should take note that vitamins for children are in pills or in syrups. Pills are not very suitable for a baby up to 3 years old, because they have not yet learned how to swallow tablets. But liquid syrup is very convenient for kids to drink.

Both those and other vitamins for children have their own characteristics: the tablets, while uncomfortable for admission, but have a clear dosage, which makes it difficult to make mistakes. And syrups though are convenient for reception, but at use it is very easy to be mistaken with a dose, unless you use a special dosed spoon or a glass with a dispenser.

Vitamins for children in foods

Most natural products that are sold in stores need to be cooked, which leads to the loss of vitamins and minerals. Especially in winter, when berries, fruits and vegetables are mostly frozen. It must be understood that with each day of food storage, the content of vitamin substances varies in them, and, of course, in the smaller side.

For example: if you store cabbage not in the refrigerator, but at room temperature, then after 1 day it becomes a quarter less of vitamin C. If such a head of cabbage is lying down for 3 days, ascorbic acid in it will be less by 70%.

As for meat, when frying in pork it becomes 35% less vitamin B. If the same meat is stewed, this substance in it will decrease by 60%, and if boiled - by 80%. Therefore, be careful when preparing for a child these or other products. Even if you decide to cook meat so as not to lose all the nutrients that are destroyed during heat treatment, do not pour out the broth. It will be useful.

How to choose vitamins for children?

Selecting vitamins for children, you need to consider not only the dosage, but also their compatibility with each other. And also that in a multivitamin complex there were all necessary micro-and macronutrients to the kid.

Although it should be recognized that natural micro- and macronutrients from foods are the best that your son or daughter can get. Firstly, because the children's organism perceives and absorbs them better. And secondly, because in natural products the whole necessary vitamin complex is presented in optimal combinations.

When and what vitamins are needed for children?
