Fall is an important transition period for children. With back-to-school season, lower temperatures, and shorter days, it’s also the season when colds, flu, and other viruses circulate more easily. So, how can you boost your children’s immune system and reduce the risk of bringing these viruses home? A good diet is obviously the first line of defense, but certain supplements can also play a key role.
Why recommend liquid supplements over capsules, pills and gel caps?
Liquid supplements are often preferred for children because they are easier to swallow and digest, especially for younger children who struggle with tablets or capsules. They also allow for faster absorption of nutrients and can be precisely dosed, making it easier to adjust to each child’s needs. Additionally, liquid supplements are often flavored, making them more enjoyable for children and easier to incorporate into their daily routine.
1. Vitamin D: a must for immunity
Vitamin D is essential for a strong immune system. Our exposure to sunlight, the main source of vitamin D, decreases significantly in the fall and winter. A vitamin D supplement is essential to compensate for this deficiency and strengthen your child’s natural defenses.
Land Art Vitamin D3 is wonderful for your children because it provides 1000 IU per drop. It is organic and can be given from 1 year old. It is easy to administer and has a delicious orange flavor; your children will be asking for their sunshine vitamin drop every morning!
2. Multivitamins: Essential for overall health
Multivitamins are essential for children’s health because they fill any nutritional gaps related to their diet. As they grow, children have increased vitamin needs and sometimes don’t get the necessary amounts through diet alone. Multivitamins provide key nutrients like vitamin D, vitamin C, and B vitamins, which play a crucial role in energy, concentration, and disease prevention. They thus help strengthen their overall health and ensure healthy long-term development.
Land Art Multivit is a complete and balanced liquid formula, including beta-carotene, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, C, D3, E, and folic acid (B9). Offering dosages from 1 year old, this apple and peach-flavored supplement is easy to add to your child’s morning juice or smoothie to help them start their day off right.
3. Vitamin C: the ultimate anti-cold ally
Vitamin C is often associated with preventing colds and infections. It helps stimulate the production of white blood cells, which play a crucial role in defending against viral and bacterial infections. While a diet rich in fruits and vegetables provides vitamin C, it may be a good idea to consider a supplement, especially if your child is picky about fruits and vegetables.
Land Art Vitamin C is another wonderful supplement that tastes great and is easy to give your children to give them a little vitamin boost for a healthy day. It can also be given to children from 1 year old.
4. Zinc: a shield against viruses
Zinc is an important mineral for the proper functioning of the immune system. It helps reduce the duration and severity of colds by stimulating the production of immune cells. Zinc can be difficult to obtain through diet alone, especially for children who eat little meat or animal products.
Land Art’s new ZinC is your child’s ally for the season of immunity. Certified organic and with a delicious cherry flavor, Zinc is easy to dose thanks to its graduated dropper. Containing Zinc and Vitamin C, it’s a must-have supplement to support the immune system of the whole family from age 1.
By establishing a good routine with a proper diet, supplements if necessary, and good hygiene practices, you can help protect your family from fall viruses and promote their well-being throughout the season.
