In addition to a healthy diet, supplements can help fill in nutritional gaps. Give your little one's immune system a boost with these 5 all-natural options.
Multivitamins
Whether or not your child is a picky eater, it can be hard to ensure children are getting the nutrients they need. Cover their nutritional bases with a good multivitamin. Available in chewables, liquids and gummies, it’s never been easier to find something to suit every child’s tastes!
Probiotics
A foundational nutrient for both adults and children, probiotics are a must-have supplement. Probiotics act as reinforcements to fight off seasonal bugs, digestive imbalances, and more. Children's probiotics come in chewables, gummies, and even powders for infants and toddlers.Â
Omega-3's
Omega-3 fatty acids come from fish and plant-based oils. Omega-3's are well known for supporting the immune system and overall health. Additionally, fish oil provides DHA, which supports children's brain and vision health. Check them out in kid-friendly chewable softgels and naturally-flavored liquid!
Vitamin D
Most Americans are deficient in this essential vitamin, especially during the colder months. Children aren’t an exception! Vitamin D will help keep your little one’s defenses strong. Easy-to-take drops can be mixed in liquids or soft foods.
Vitamin C
This antioxidant vitamin is popular for immune system support and is naturally found in most fruits. Consuming fruit juice is a common way to boost vitamin C intake. However, most juices are high in sugar, which may compromise the immune system. Focus on fresh fruit and supplement with a yummy chewable Vitamin C!
