Children’s Supplements• Parents naturally want their child to have the best

start to life possible.

• Many believe that supplementation is the answer.

• Supplementation helps to counteract both the nutrient deficiencies of food produced by modern farming techniques and also the often fussy eating habits of small children which mean that many nutrient dense foods are not consumed regularly enough, if at all.

Children’s Supplements• The criteria to consider when looking at children’s health are primarily concerned with the age and

size of the child and also the size of the supplement that you may wish to give to them.
