{"title":"Children","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSupplements and care for children\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupplements for children\u003c\/strong\u003e differ from those for adults in two ways: the dosage is lower and the form is adapted. A three-year-old child cannot swallow an eight-hundred-milligram capsule. Drops and chewable gummies solve that. In this collection you will find the children's products from our range, from vitamin D drops to toothpaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBelow you will read about each form what the difference is, what you can pay attention to with the dosage and why storing safely away from children is more important than with adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat your child gets from food\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA child who eats a varied diet usually gets most nutrients in. Vitamin D is the well-known exception, because your body mainly produces it under the influence of sunlight and food provides very little of it. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre therefore advises extra vitamin D daily for young children. Check the current advice for the age of your child, because it differs per age group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamin D for children\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D is necessary for the normal growth and development of children's bones. In addition, vitamin D contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system in children and to the maintenance of normal teeth. In our range we have vitamin D for children as drops, combined with vitamin K2. Drops are practical for young children: you dose them on a spoon or through food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMultivitamin gummies for children\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor children who already chew on their own, there are multivitamin gummies. They combine several vitamins in one chewable form. Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision. Look on the product page which vitamins are exactly in it and how many gummies together form a daily dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDrops, gummies or tablets\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe form determines above all whether your child will stick with it. Drops work easiest until about age four, because you can mix them unnoticed through food. Gummies suit children who want to choose themselves and who experience it as something fun. Tablets are only realistic from about age six. Good to know: the dosage per form differs, so do not switch just like that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChildren's toothpaste\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn care there is also a children's variant. We carry toothpaste from Himalaya in a mild bubblegum and mint flavor, with xylitol and without strong peppermint that young children get pricked by. Pay attention to the fluoride content in toothpaste for children and follow the advice of your dentist or health visitor for the age of your child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDosage is not that of adults\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the point where things can go wrong. Dividing an adult dosage is not a safe method, because for some vitamins there is an upper limit that is lower for children. This mainly applies to vitamin A and vitamin D, which your body stores instead of excreting. Therefore, use a product that is intended for the age of your child and stick to the indicated amount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you pay attention to with children's supplements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook at the age indication on the packaging, the dosage per day and the sugar content in gummies. In addition, check whether your child already gets the same vitamins through other products, for example through enriched milk or breakfast cereals. If you doubt whether supplementation is necessary, present it to the general practitioner, the health visitor or a dietitian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStore safely\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGummies and chewable tablets look like candy, and children do not make that distinction. Store them out of reach and out of sight, also the products that are specially made for children. Close the cap tightly and do not leave a jar on the table. This applies just as well to the adult gummies in the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhich product is suitable depends above all on the age of your child and on what is possible daily. Start with vitamin D, because that is the only thing for which a general advice applies in the Netherlands, and only then look whether more is needed.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"vitamine-d3-k2-voor-kinderen-300-dagen-500-ie-vitamine-d-en-25-μg-vitamine-k2-vit4ever","title":"Vitamin D3 + K2 Kids | 10ml Drops | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eVitamin D3 + K2 Kids by Vit4ever\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn autumn and winter, the skin in the Netherlands produces little vitamin D. Vit4ever created \u003cstrong\u003eVitamin D3 K2 Kids\u003c\/strong\u003e: a drop containing vitamin D3 and vitamin K2, dissolved in a neutral oil. One drop per day provides 500 IU (12.5 µg) of vitamin D3 and 25 µg of vitamin K2. The 10 ml bottle contains approximately 300 drops, enough for about ten months. Suitable for children aged 4 and over, with a dropper to measure out exactly one drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy these two vitamins for children\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3 and vitamin K2 often appear together in supplements, and that is no coincidence. Both are fat-soluble, which means your body absorbs and stores them together with fat from your diet, unlike water-soluble vitamins, which the body quickly excretes. Parents often wonder whether a child produces enough vitamin D in winter. In the Netherlands, the sun is too low from October to April to produce sufficient vitamin D in the skin, even on a clear winter day. Vitamin D is necessary for the normal growth and development of children's skeletal system and contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. In addition, vitamin D contributes to the normal absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus, and to normal calcium levels in the blood. The same applies to the teeth: vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal teeth. Vitamin K2 complements this by contributing to normal blood clotting and the maintenance of normal bones. Thus, both vitamins are in one drop per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eD3 from lanolin, K2 as K2VITAL\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vitamin D3 in this product is cholecalciferol, extracted from lanolin (sheep's wool fat). This is the form that most closely resembles the vitamin D your body produces itself under the influence of sunlight, and therefore the most commonly used form in supplements. The vitamin K2 is menaquinone-7 in the all-trans form, derived from the branded raw material K2VITAL. The difference with a regular K2 raw material lies in the purity: K2VITAL has a controlled all-trans content of over 99 percent, while cheaper variants often contain a mix of cis and trans forms that is less stable and provides a less consistent dose. Both vitamins are dissolved in MCT oil (medium-chain triglycerides) from coconut. This was deliberately chosen: fat-soluble vitamins dissolve in oil, and MCT oil has no pronounced taste or smell. Convenient if you have to give a child a drop daily without any fuss about the taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many drops, and how to give them\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne drop per day is the recommended amount for children aged 4 and over. You give it with the dropper that comes with the bottle, undiluted or incorporated into a drink or with a meal. Because the drops have almost no taste, most children do not notice that something has been added to their food or drink. What parents also often want to know: can a child get too much vitamin D3 through such a drop? At the recommended dosage of one drop per day, that is not the case, but it is the reason why you stick to that dosage and keep the bottle out of reach of young children, just like with any other supplement. A 10 ml bottle with approximately 300 drops lasts about ten months with daily use, well over the dark months until deep into spring. This means that you do not have to order a new bottle halfway through the winter season, and that you can easily pass it on when it is almost empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin D3 K2 Kids is a targeted choice for families who notice in winter that their child goes outside little, without all kinds of extra additives or flavorings in the bottle. One drop, a clear dosage, and a form that has been tailored from the start for children aged 4 and over.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46841582027090,"sku":"vit4-288","price":11.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-vitamine-d3-k2-voor-kinderen-300-dagen-500-ie-vita-1.jpg?v=1793623871"},{"product_id":"multi-kids-gummies","title":"Multivitamin Kids | 50 Vegan Gummies | LUTO Supplements","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMultivitamin Kids Gummies for Children\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese vegan gummies from LUTO Supplements are intended as a daily supplement to what is obtained through diet. Each gummy contains, among others, \u003cstrong\u003evitamin A\u003c\/strong\u003e, vitamin C, vitamin D2, B vitamins, iodine and zinc. Two gummies per day, with strawberry and orange flavor. No tablets, no hassle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat vitamin A does in your child's body\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that your body uses in various ways. It contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and plays a role in the cell differentiation process. In addition, vitamin A contributes to the normal function of the immune system and the maintenance of normal mucous membranes. These gummies contain 189 mcg of vitamin A each. That is not a mega dose, but a conscious supplement. Because with fat-soluble vitamins, more is not automatically better. Your body stores them in the liver, so you do not want to accumulate too much.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy these gummies contain vitamin D2\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany children's gummies use vitamin D3 from lanolin or fish. LUTO chooses vitamin D2, a plant-based form that is extracted from fungi. That makes the gummy completely vegan. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system in children and is necessary for the normal growth and development of children's bones. Each daily dose of two gummies provides 20 mcg of vitamin D2 (400% RI). Good to know: vitamin D is fat-soluble. Your child will therefore absorb it better when the gummies are given with a meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMore than just A and D\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to vitamin A and D2, there are nine other vitamins and minerals in each gummy. Folic acid contributes to the normal function of the immune system and plays a role in the cell division process. And iodine contributes to the normal growth of children and to normal cognitive function. What many people do not know: iodine also plays a role in the production of thyroid hormones. The amount of vitamin C is modest at 10 mg per gummy. It is mainly a small addition on top of what your child already gets through fruit and vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan without gluten and without artificial colors\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe gummies are made with citrus pectin instead of gelatin. Therefore, they are suitable for children who eat vegan, or for families who avoid gelatin for other reasons. The colorings come from black carrot and beta-carotene. The flavorings are natural. There is no gluten or lactose in them. However, each gummy contains sugar and tapioca syrup. To be honest, that is the case with almost all gummies on the market. It is the reason why they taste good and children take them without protest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 50 gummies in the jar, you have enough for 25 days with two per day.
