Why Supplements are Important

Why Supplements are Important for Your Child to Take

As the fall time settles in and you’re getting ready to take the kids back to school, it’s also important to concentrate more on their health as a new season begins. If you’ve felt hesitant about having your child take supplements, it’s okay for them to take them once a day. Vitamins are very important for children as they grow older because it promotes excellent health. If you’re still apprehensive about giving your child supplements, learn about how they are beneficial to their health and body development.

What are Supplements?

The word supplement may come across confusing, so to clear up any confusion, the definition of supplements covers a few different factors. First, supplements essentially contain the food that you eat. They also contain one or more dietary ingredients which include vitamins, herbs, botanicals, amino acids, minerals, and other substances. Since you most likely don’t get all of the vitamins that your body needs on a daily basis, supplements are an important part of a child’s development and you should be having them take one multi-vitamin daily.

How Vitamins Help Improve a Child’s Health and Your Health too!

There are several vitamins that help improve a child’s health, such as vitamin A, which supports vision and bone growth. Vitamin E helps improve the immune system and in addition helps repair your DNA. Overall supplements will create an extra barrier or protection against mineral deficiency, which unfortunately impairs the body and leads to illnesses and other possible health problems down the road.

In addition to the vitamins just mentioned, as a parent you may want to consider implementing silica supplements into your child’s health later in life and taking them yourself now. Silica is a great supplement to take for adults because it helps the body absorb many minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus deposit in the bones. With silica your body will properly absorb minerals and you will be around a lot longer to watch your children grow up!

Keep in mind that it is still very important to have a healthy diet every day and that supplements will not make up for a lack of vegetables, whole grains, and fresh fruits. However, multivitamins and mineral supplements are great safeguards against a lack of vitamin shortfalls and will help improve your diet on a daily basis.
