"Vitrum Kids" is a fairly well-known multivitamin complex, which is intended for children from 4 to 7 years. Each tablet contains all the necessary elements to fill the imbalance and normal functioning of the whole organism.
Growth trio
Vitrum Kids vitamins are specially designed for preschool children who need vitamins and minerals more than ever. After all, it was during this period that parents try to send their children to various sports sections, where a lot of effort is required. And with a deficiency of one or another vitamin, such classes will only aggravate the situation. That is why the formula “Growth Trio” was developed, the meaning of which is to provide the child’s body with three important components - calcium, magnesium, phosphorus.
Calcium for baby
Everyone knows that calcium plays an important role in the growth and development of a child. Due to the normal content of this element in the blood, the bones and teeth of the baby will be strong. In addition, it not only helps the bones to be strong, but also actively participates in the process of blood coagulation, muscle contraction, as well as in preventing the development of allergic reactions. Depending on age, a child needs between 600 and 1,500 mg of calcium per day. The daily dosage is just contained in one vitamin.
Magnesium
Another important component, without which the above calcium will not be properly absorbed, is magnesium. It is necessary not only for calcium to be absorbed, but also for the bones to be elastic and strong and able to withstand acceptable physical stress.
In addition, magnesium gives the nervous system of the child stability, helps reduce irritability and tearfulness.
Phosphorus
Phosphorus is involved in the accumulation and transfer of energy from each cell. That is why it is so important not to forget to consume the required amount of this element per day. In addition, phosphorus, together with calcium, makes the bone strong, you can say, "cementing it."
The composition of the vitamin complex
In addition to the fact that Vitrum Kids has calcium, magnesium and phosphorus, each tablet contains many more important components, such as vitamins A, E, C, colecalciferol, B vitamins, iron, zinc, copper, selenium, manganese, chrome etc.
Each of these components performs its function in the child's body, so some of them should not be neglected.
Indications for use
Almost all children who attend kindergarten are recommended to give vitamin complexes before the cold season in order to increase their immune strength. After all, the children's body has to withstand many bacteria and germs that every minute want to get inside.
The main indications for the use of Vitrum Kids include:
- Prevention of a deficiency of any important trace elements and vitamins in a child.
- Treatment of hypovitaminosis, moreover, when almost all vitamins are lacking.
- The recovery period after the disease, especially when it was quite difficult and with an increase in body temperature.
- Autumn and winter, when the risk of contracting a cold or flu increases.
- Poor appetite when the child does not eat enough food, and with it the substances he needs.
- Improper nutrition: the child refuses vegetables, fruits, meat, which happens very often.
- The period of intensive growth, which just begins with 4 years. Moreover, the peak usually occurs in the summer months, which is why parents are better off consulting a pediatrician when giving vitamins.
"Vitrum Kids": instructions for admission
It is very important to take vitamins correctly, since the success of both preventive and treatment courses depends on it.
In fact, it will not be difficult to give the child Vitrum Kids. Instructions for use are quite simple, and it clearly states that you need to take the complex once a day, preferably either with food or after it. This must be done for the best assimilation of all important components.
Some children swallow a pill, because it seems to them tasteless. In fact, it is sweet, and it is best to chew it.
Contraindications
Despite the fact that Vitrum Kids are considered very good vitamins, there are contraindications when they should not be given to a child. These include:
- Age to 4 years. Each tablet contains the amount of vitamins and minerals that is needed specifically for children of this age. If you give them to a child younger, then hypervitaminosis can occur, which is no less dangerous, but if you give them to a child older than 7 years, then there will be no positive effect, because the dosages are too small.
- Excess vitamins A and D. If this limitation is not observed, problems may arise in the functioning of vital organs.
- Sensitivity to some components of the drug. Usually these are excipients.
- Taking any other vitamins, as this can lead to an excess of certain elements.
Side effects
Unfortunately, the multivitamin complex has a number of side effects that can occur in a child during their administration. These include the appearance of allergic reactions in the form of a rash or itching. Moreover, it appears gradually, everything begins in the chest area, and then gradually passes to the arms and legs. In some children, their cheeks may immediately turn red after taking the first vitamin.
Vitrum Kids: price
The price of this vitamin-mineral complex is quite high, from about 300 to 500 rubles. Moreover, it depends on which pharmacy the drug is purchased in. So, many consumers noted that in smaller pharmacies that are not part of large chains, prices are lower. Municipal organizations can also be attributed to this.
