Healthy Start Children’s Vitamin Drops – 10ml

Description

Essential Vitamins for a Healthy Start

Healthy Start Children’s Vitamin Drops provide essential vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin D for infants and children from birth to five years. These vitamins help support normal growth, immune health, vision, and bone development – particularly important during early childhood.

The drops are suitable for children who may not receive enough vitamins through diet alone, including those with restricted diets (vegetarian, halal, dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free, soya-free, and peanut-free).

Why Children Need Vitamins A, C & D

Children aged 6 months to 5 years are recommended to take daily vitamin supplements, as diet alone may not always provide sufficient nutrients – especially in picky eaters, restricted diets, or periods of rapid growth.

Why these vitamins matter:

• Vitamin A: Supports normal vision, skin health, and immune function.

• Vitamin C: Contributes to immune system support and helps maintain normal skin and bones.

• Vitamin D: Essential for normal bone development, calcium absorption, and immune function.

Young children can be at risk of low vitamin D, especially in winter or if they spend limited time outdoors.

• Designed for infants and children from birth to 5 years

• Suitable for vegetarian and halal diets
