It is difficult, of course, to consider the question of which vitamins are more necessary and more important for children. All are needed and all are important. But among them there are still the very most, without which the correct formation of a growing organism is impossible: neither physical nor mental.
First of all, these are vitamins of group B, vitamin C, provitamin A and vitamin D. Vitamins for children from group B do not get into the children's body in sufficient quantities, primarily because babies practically do not eat bread, and especially grain. Vitamin C is not enough due to too high energy costs for games, overcoming diseases and poor ecology. Vitamins A are also in the children's body at a critical level due to the same notorious malnutrition. And vitamin D in the body of a Russian child is not enough due to climatic features.
Today it is impossible to imagine the situation that vitamins for children are found in food. Where have you seen natural vegetables and fruits that have not been in warehouses for months, or even more? This is a rhetorical question, since we are sure that there are none among them who have gathered on the table, we could proudly say that we provide our children with all the micro- and macrocells necessary for a healthy life.
Nevertheless, there is a way out. It is necessary to pay attention to those vitamin preparations that are currently offered in pharmacy chains. With special thanks I want to mention the Alphabet vitamins for children, which are a complex of not only vitamins, but also minerals, developed taking into account all children's age categories, starting with the smallest. Children from 1 to 3 years old can take the Alphabet Our baby. Alphabet Kindergarten is designed for preschool kids . Well, for those who study at school, the Alphabet Schoolboy is intended.
Unique vitamins Alphabet for children are made taking into account all the undesirable reactions that are fraught with the use of some other vitamin complexes. The alphabet does not contain fragrances and artificial colors and additives that can cause allergic reactions in the children's body.
Vitamin D for children is prescribed even earlier than the vitamin-mineral complex Alphabet, starting from infancy. It is needed to regulate the exchange of calcium and phosphorus elements and ensure the proper growth and formation of the skeletal system of a small person. The sun is not enough. Foods containing a small amount of this vital vitamin are unsuitable for children. A one-year-old child cannot eat seafood, cheese and beef liver. Therefore, pediatricians and prescribe vitamin D in the form of an oily or aqueous solution for the prevention of rickets.
It must be remembered that vitamin D for children can be as useful as harmful. An overdose of it can lead to the development of pyelonephritis in the child and renal failure. You need to be very careful and stop taking vitamin D if the child has vomiting, loose stools, or signs of swelling. And be sure to seek the advice of a doctor to determine the diagnosis.
Although we said that in modern conditions it is problematic to get vitamins for children from food, we still will not adhere to extreme views and note that proper nutrition is a good guarantee of providing a growing body with natural vitamins. To do this, it is enough to include milk, cereal cereals, fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as dried fruits in the child’s diet. Canned and frozen fruits and vegetables, as well as those that have been stored for a long time, are of little use. Therefore, caring parents can not avoid going to the pharmacy in order to purchase multivitamins for the child.
