What is HMF Fit for School and how does it support children's health?

HMF Fit for School is a food supplement in chewable tablets developed by Genestra Brands, specifically designed to help maintain children's immune systems. Its formula combines 125 billion CFU of live microorganisms with vitamin C and vitamin D, two essential nutrients for the proper functioning of natural defenses. Presented in a practical chewable format with a delicious blackcurrant flavor, this product makes daily intake easy even for the youngest children. Each container contains 30 tablets, equivalent to a month's supply following the recommended dose.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet, or a healthy lifestyle. This product is intended for children from a certain age (consult the label) and must be stored in refrigeration to maintain the viability of the probiotics.

Benefits of probiotics and vitamins for children

Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when consumed in adequate amounts, can contribute to the balance of the intestinal flora. A healthy gut microbiota is key to general well-being and immune response. In the case of children, maintaining a balanced flora can be especially important during the school stage, where they are exposed to multiple environmental stimuli.

Vitamin C and vitamin D, for their part, are nutrients with well-documented functions. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):

• Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, as well as to the protection of cells against oxidative damage.
• Vitamin D contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and to the maintenance of bones under normal conditions.

Combining these three elements in a single product offers a practical way to support children's natural defenses, always within the context of a varied diet and healthy habits.

Key ingredients: probiotics, vitamin C and vitamin D

HMF Fit for School is distinguished by its carefully selected ingredient profile. Below, we detail each component and its function:

Probiotics (125 billion CFU)

The formula includes a blend of probiotic strains that contribute to temporarily modulating the intestinal flora. The amount of 125 billion CFU per dose ensures an effective concentration to help maintain microbial balance. It is important to keep the product refrigerated (between 2 and 8 °C) to ensure the viability of the microorganisms until the expiration date.

Vitamin C (50 mg per tablet)

This amount represents 62.5% of the reference intake for an adult, but in children the dose is adjusted to their needs. Vitamin C is a water-soluble antioxidant that participates in multiple metabolic processes, including collagen synthesis and iron absorption. Its role in the immune system is widely recognized.

Vitamin D (25 mcg / 1000 IU per tablet)

Vitamin D is fat-soluble and essential for calcium absorption and bone health. In addition, it contributes to the normal function of the immune system. In children, vitamin D supplementation may be advisable especially during months of less sun exposure.

Additional ingredients include natural excipients for compression and flavorings that provide the pleasant blackcurrant flavor. For a complete list of ingredients and allergens, consult the product label.

How to choose an immune supplement for children?

When selecting a supplement that supports the defenses of the little ones, it is important to take several factors into account:

• Format: Chewable tablets are ideal for children who cannot yet swallow capsules. HMF Fit for School has an easy-to-chew format and a pleasant taste.
• Adapted dose: Verify that the amounts of vitamins are appropriate for the child's age. In this case, 50 mg of vitamin C and 25 mcg of vitamin D are appropriate for children from 3-4 years of age (according to the manufacturer's instructions).
• Quality of probiotics: Opt for products that specify the strains and the amount of CFU. The need for refrigeration is a guarantee that the bacteria are alive.
• Brand support: Genestra Brands has 30 years of experience in professional-grade nutraceuticals.

It is always advisable to consult with a pediatrician before starting any supplementation, especially if the child has any medical condition or is taking medication.
