Vitamins and minerals are essential for children to grow and develop properly. Hopefully kids get plenty of vitamins and minerals from a healthy, balanced diet, but children don’t always eat as you think they should, especially if they are picky eaters or don’t like healthy food choices. Zone’s Children’s Chewable was developed to help provide extra micronutrients so parents can feel reassured about their children’s health. It also contains a specially formulated proprietary blend of natural plant sources abundant in antioxidants and health promoting polyphenols. Children’s Chewable provides 40% of the daily value in vitamin A, 167% of the daily value in vitamin C, and 67% of the daily value in vitamin E. Vitamin A is especially important for growing children to help develop good eyesight, night vision, and healthy skin.1,2,3 Budding children need vitamin C to help keep body tissues, such as gums and muscles strong.4 Vitamin C helps boost children’s immune systems, protects from damaging free radicals, and is crucial for brain function.5 Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that maintains body tissues and is very important for the formation of healthy red blood cells.6,7*

A multi-vitamin is as an extra insurance policy for children to provide micronutrients in addition to following an anti-inflammatory diet, and taking omega-3 fatty acids and polyphenols. Obesity in children is simply a mismatch between hunger and satiety that is fueled by silent inflammation.
It is the balance of protein to low-glycemic carbohydrates that is the key to re-establishing the equilibrium between hunger and satiety. If your child isn’t hungry, then cutting back on calories (but not protein or the important phytonutrients in fruits and vegetables) is easy.
4 capsules of OmegaRx per day. The most important supplement for any child is adequate levels of the fatty acids EPA and DHA. DHA promotes neurological growth and optimal brain function and EPA regulates silent inflammation that can cause the increase of stored body fat.
2 tablespoons (30 ml) per day. Concentrates of fruits and vegetables containing polyphenols are among the active health promoting ingredients. Two tablespoons of SeaHealth Plus provide the equivalent of approximately 2 servings of highly antioxidant fruits and vegetables.
