Multi Kid

A unique formula, not a sweet!

Many food supplements for children come in the form of gummies, designed to encourage acceptance thanks to their playful appearance and appetising taste.

However, gummies present three major problems:

❌ The incorporation of excipients (sweeteners, sugars).

❌ An inaccurate dosage of nutrients.

❌ A risk of confusion for the child.

We have chosen to opt for a capsule form that ensures precise dosages, a simple formulation, while guaranteeing easy administration when the child is not yet able to swallow the capsule. Simply stir the contents into a yoghurt or compote (there's no taste).

Calcium:

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and is essential for children's growth and good health. It is involved in the formation of bones and teeth.

Vitamin B12 :

This vitamin plays a fundamental role in the growth and development of the nervous system and brain in children.

Prolonged deficiency has consequences for brain development. A recent English study confirmed the real impact of vitamin B12 deficiency in children on their later cognitive abilities (up to over 10 years of age).

It should be noted that vitamin B12 supplementation is compulsory for vegetarian and vegan diets.

Other group B vitamins (B2, B5, B6, B9):

These vitamins are also involved in the mechanisms of cell multiplication and harmonious growth.

Vitamin C:

Vitamin C is highly soluble in water and therefore easily eliminated in the urine, so it's important to ensure a regular intake of fresh fruit throughout the day. The Multikid supplement helps to ensure a minimum intake. This vitamin plays three essential roles during growth: it improves calcium and iron binding and protein synthesis.

Vitamin D3 (plant-based):

Vitamin D has many functions in the body, with a decisive role in growth and the binding of bone calcium. It is necessary for skeletal growth and strength. A vitamin D3 deficiency causes rickets.

Vitamin E:

Vitamin E is best known for its antioxidant properties. In children, whose blood volume is constantly increasing, its main role is to protect red blood cells, which are essential for transporting oxygen in the blood.

Iodine :

Iodine is a trace element that is essential for the body to function properly, as it is involved in particular in the thyroid gland, which produces the thyroid hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3), which are closely involved in the growth of the nervous system and skeleton.

Iodine deficiency in children can lead to thyroid disorders, which can impair cognitive ability and/or skeletal growth. The diet is often deficient in iodine, which is an important point to watch out for.

Zinc :

Zinc is essential for cell multiplication and differentiation and for tissue healing. It also helps strengthen the immune system. Zinc deficiency in children can lead to growth problems and reduced resistance to infection. Vegetable diets are frequently deficient in zinc (low content in fruit and vegetables, presence of phytates, etc).

Magnesium :

In children, magnesium is mainly used to help and calm the nerves (reduces anxiety, hyperactivity, etc.).

Multikid food supplements for children provide essential vitamins and minerals in the right quantities, from the age of one.
Ideally, it can be combined with additional supplements of :

• DHA Omega 3 (one 250 mg capsule every other day) for the proper development of the nervous system
• Iron as the child's blood volume increases, there is often a sub-deficiency (mild anaemia) in iron. Follow-up is recommended.
