Vitamins for kids
What vitamins are important for children?
As children are growing, it is not surprising that certain nutrient deficiencies may occur from time to time. Thus, it is important that children are sufficiently supplied with all important vitamins. The following vitamins and nutrients are particularly important for the health and development of children:
Iodine: Iodine is important, among other things, for mental development as well as the development of the nervous system. Iodine is needed for the production of thyroid hormone, which in turn is important for metabolism and, as a result, also for mental and physical development.
Folic acid: Belonging to the family of B vitamins, folic acid is essential for the formation and division of cells. Already during pregnancy, women are strongly recommended to supplement folic acid because it is needed for essential processes in the body of the unborn child.
Vitamin C: Vitamin C is particularly important for strengthening the immune system and thus protects the cells from free radicals.
Vitamin D: Vitamin D is necessary for the development of bones in both children and adults. It also plays a role in various metabolic processes.
Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 is needed for both energy and iron metabolism and is thus important for the formation of red blood cells.
Zinc: The trace element zinc is important not only for healthy skin, hair, nails, and wound healing but also for the immune system of children. It prevents infections and diseases and is an element needed for metabolism.
Calcium: Calcium is needed in children, especially for growth and healthy bones and teeth. Thus, a deficiency of calcium can lead to muscle tremors, cramps, circulatory problems, gum problems or even metabolic disorders. But these are not all the consequences of a deficiency.
FOOD WITH IMPORTANT VITAMINS FOR CHILDREN
Especially for children, a balanced diet with all the important vitamins and nutrients should be provided. Time and care should be taken to cover the recommended daily requirement of the respective vitamins through the diet. These foods should be on children's menus: Green vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, potatoes, eggs, fermented foods, nuts, seeds and, of course, mineral water.
Tips
How to make a healthy diet work for children
Teaching children about a healthy, balanced diet is a big challenge for many parents. For example, children are not known to really enjoy eating healthy "green stuff". That's why it's important to make a healthy diet palatable to children right from the start. We have put together some tips for you on how to do this successfully:
- Be a good role model for your child.
- Actively involve your children in the preparation of the food.
- Cut the vegetables into funny shapes.
- Create awareness for healthy nutrition from the beginning with, e.g. appropriate children's books.
- Strict prohibitions on sweets can lead to your child compensating for this later on.
- Let your child discover their own sense of satiety.
- Explain in a playful way why vitamins and nutrients are needed.
- Choose the recipes together with your child.

FAQs ABOUT VITAMINS FOR CHILDREN
FAQs ABOUT VITAMINS FOR CHILDREN
Vitamin D3 is important for bones and metabolic processes in children. Since children are growing, it is self-explanatory that a sufficient supply of vitamin D3 is indispensable. A deficiency can have far-reaching consequences, such as metabolic diseases. It is best to talk to your paediatrician about a possible vitamin D deficiency.
Vitamin C not only strengthens the child's immune system but also protects cells from free radicals. Vitamin C is vital and involved in many processes. Children should, therefore, be supplied with sufficient vitamin C. If this is not the case, a deficiency can lead to bleeding, gum problems, weakened immune defences or even joint problems. The special thing about vitamin C is also that it can not be overdosed.
Vitamin B12 is needed in children and adults for energy metabolism and the formation of red blood cells. A deficiency can even lead to nerve damage. In addition, many other negative side effects are associated with a B12 deficiency, such as fatigue, weakness or anaemia. Therefore, it is essential to ensure a sufficient supply for a child.
As in adults, overdoses can also occur in children, which are accompanied by corresponding symptoms. To prevent this, children should not exceed the recommended daily dosages.
Common side effects of supplements in children include diarrhoea, nausea, fatigue, or even headaches. Talk to a doctor about this if you suspect your child is not tolerating something.
