NaturesPlus Children’s Vita-Gels Multivitamínico infantil - 90 Cápsulas Blandas - Sabor Naranja Natural - Sin Gluten

A multivitamin designed for the little ones

Childhood is a stage of accelerated growth and high nutritional demand. However, it is not always easy for children to get all the nutrients they need just through food. NaturesPlus Children’s Vita-Gels is a multivitamin in softgels specially created for children, with a complete profile of essential vitamins and minerals, in a practical, easy-to-administer presentation and a pleasant natural orange flavor. Formulated without gluten, it is an option designed to complement the daily diet of the little ones.

Why is balanced children's supplementation important?

Children have specific nutritional needs to support their physical and cognitive development. Vitamins and minerals play a fundamental role in numerous bodily functions. For example, vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus, as well as to the normal functioning of the immune system (according to the EFSA). Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, and to the normal transport of oxygen in the body. Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative damage. A multivitamin like Vita-Gels can help cover possible deficiencies at a stage where eating habits are still being formed.

Key ingredients and their benefits endorsed by the EFSA

Children’s Vita-Gels offers a balanced combination of essential nutrients. Below, we highlight some of its main components and the health claims authorized by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):

• Vitamin A: Contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, skin and mucous membranes, and to the normal functioning of the immune system.

Recommended dose and method of administration

The recommended daily dose for children from 3 years of age is one (1) softgel per day, preferably with a meal. It is important not to exceed the recommended daily dose. The capsules are small in size and have a smooth coating that makes them easy to swallow. In addition, they have a pleasant natural orange flavor both in the capsule and inside, which makes them especially attractive to children. If the child has difficulty swallowing them, the capsule can be pierced and the content mixed with some cold food (such as yogurt or applesauce), although it is always best to consult with the pediatrician before modifying the method of administration.

What makes the softgel presentation special?

Softgels offer several advantages over other forms such as tablets or gummies. On the one hand, they encapsulate nutrients in a liquid form that facilitates their absorption. On the other hand, being smooth and small, they are easier for children who do not tolerate large tablets well to swallow. In addition, since they do not contain added sugars (unlike many gummies), they are a healthier option for dental health and to avoid glucose spikes. Children’s Vita-Gels are made with natural gelatin and natural flavorings, without gluten or common allergens such as dairy, egg or soy (always check the labeling).
