The full spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals support healthy development, strong immune function as well as emotional and mental vitality.* Research shows that one of the fundamental reasons for the decline in children's health and immunity is the decline in the nutritional content and value of their diet. Supplementing a child's diet a smart way to ensure that all nutritional needs are fulfilled.

Today's children face unprecedented challenges from two very important areas. On one hand, the nutritional value of the food we eat decreases as the nutritional content of the soil is depleted through time and modern farming methods. On the other hand, the rapid increase in environmental pollution and toxic burden creates an increased need for these nutrients - the vitamins and minerals that protect, nourish and sustain a child's natural, healthy development. Support your child's growth and development with this Multivitamin and Mineral formula.*
