Childrens Health

Children’s vitamins you can count on

Here at Healthylife, we understand the peace of mind that comes with ensuring your children’s daily nutritional needs are taken care of. While it’s best for kids to obtain their vitamins and minerals through eating a balanced diet, there are times when lifestyle or health conditions make that more challenging. That’s where children’s vitamin supplements come in. 

We offer a comprehensive range of children’s vitamins in various formats, from capsules and chewable tablets to children’s gummy vitamins and powders. Whether you’re looking for vitamins to support bone health, immune health, or overall wellbeing, you’ll find plenty of options by trusted brands like Bioglan, Blackmores and Nutra Organics.  

Should children take vitamins?

Children should meet their daily nutritional requirements by eating a balanced diet. However, children’s vitamin supplements may add extra nutrients if the child’s nutritional needs aren’t being met through diet alone. It’s important to seek advice from a healthcare professional for guidance on using children’s vitamins.

How do you know what vitamins children need to take?

A healthcare professional can advise you on the vitamins children need to take. If your child has dietary restrictions or reduced nutrient absorption due to a medical condition, your healthcare professional can offer recommendations.

Some vitamins that children may benefit from include vitamins A, C, D, and B12. Vitamin A supports the immune system and vision, vitamin C aids in tissue repair and immunity, vitamin D is important for bone development, and vitamin B12 supports energy and red blood cell production as well as cognitive function. A balanced diet is the best source of these vitamins.

At what age do kids need to start taking vitamins? 

Your healthcare professional is the best person to advise you about the correct age for your child to start taking vitamins. Children typically get the nutrients they need from a balanced diet, but children’s vitamin supplements may offer peace of mind for parents. 

Can adults take children’s vitamins?

Children’s vitamins are formulated to meet the dietary needs of kids, which are different from those of adults. Adults typically need higher doses of certain vitamins and minerals that might not be sufficiently present in children’s vitamins. 

If an adult chooses to take children’s vitamins, they should ensure they are getting adequate nutrition from other dietary sources. Consulting a healthcare professional for personalised advice is recommended.
