Healthy growth
is vital during the first 10 years of a child’s life.
Rapid development of bones, muscles, blood and the brain
mean that children have a high nutrient requirement in
relation to their body size.
Meeting
those requirements can be a challenge. Sometimes it is
difficult to ensure kids are getting all the nutrients
they need every day. WellKid chewable tablets have been
produced with children’s needs in mind.Each great
tasting chewable tablet provides a comprehensive range
of 21 essential nutrients including Omega-3,
vitamins A, C, D, E and the minerals magnesium, iron and
zinc to help safeguard your child’s nutritional intake.

With so much focus on the role of Omega-3 fatty acids in
brain function, the important role of essential minerals
has been largely overlooked.
As well as
Omega-3, WellKid includes iron and zinc which also play
a role in helping to maintain healthy brain function.
Iron is known to be essential for normal brain function
and is especially important in relation to brain
development, learning and memory. Iron is an essential
part of the haemoglobin found in red blood cells. It
facilitates the delivery of oxygen from the lungs to all
body tissues including the brain. Iron is also a
cofactor for several enzymes involved in energy
metabolism.
As well as
learning and behaviour, zinc is involved in many body
processes including DNA and RNA synthesis, protein and
carbohydrate metabolism, bone growth, integrity of the
skin, a co-factor in many enzymes and also plays an
important role in the immune system.
WellKid, as
well as being a balanced multivitamin for kids also
provides a source of omega-3 fatty acids derived from
flaxseed oil.
Many
scientific studies have shown that Omega-3 fatty acids
may help maintain healthy brain function and vision.
Vegetarian flaxseed oil is a rich source of Omega-3
alpha linolenic acid. The body naturally converts this
into DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic
acid). DHA is needed because it plays a structural role
in the cells of the central nervous system. EPA is
required because it is essential for optimal brain
function and cell signalling (when nerve cells
communicate with each other). |

The WellKid
formula includes essential vitamins such as A, C, D3 and
E (supplementation of these vitamins is recommended by
Government medical experts), minerals such as zinc and
selenium, plus B-complex vitamins which together may
help to maintain a child’s healthy growth, immune system
defence and energy release. |

WellKid
tablets include vitamin D and minerals such as magnesium
and zinc to help support the health of rapidly growing
bones and teeth.
During
childhood there is an increased demand for calcium and
phosphorus to meet the needs of rapidly growing bones.
The absorption of calcium and phosphorus from the food
we eat, into the blood, is carefully controlled by the
body and is influenced by a number of other key
nutrients including vitamin D, magnesium and zinc.
For mothers
particularly concerned about the bone health of their
children we recommend Osteocare, available in chewable
tablet or liquid form, which can be taken alongside
WellKid. |

Iron, vitamin
B12 and folic acid are essential for haemoglobin and
healthy blood formation, the body’s transport system for
nutrients and oxygen.
Government
surveys have indicated that children’s diets can be low
in certain nutrients including iron. This is especially
true for vegetarians as iron from non-meat sources is
not as easily absorbed by the body. WellKid tablets are
suitable for vegetarians and so are an ideal way of
helping to ensure your child receives enough iron.
