Supplementation For The Young And Growing
Supplementation For The Young And Growing
by Dr. Leah Meadows
Do you want to be as empowered and intelligent about immune system health for our kids as you possibly can?
Think about the aspect of health that the media is not focusing on… increasing our body’s own immune system function. So, let’s also strengthen the internal defense system of our children with a coat of armor by enhancing our immunity through supplementation.
Here are 4 supplements you can stock up on that are awesome for kids. They are immunity boosting key components to your overall self-care regime.
#1 – Nordic Naturals DHA Jr. Xtra
DHA Jr. Xtra provides a great source of DHA to address two formidable challenges during childhood: widespread deficits in omega-3 intake, and the difficulty getting young kids to take supplements. This supplement is a potent source of omega-3 DHA, an essential nutrient for proper development of the brain, eyes, and nervous and immune systems in children. These are awesome because they come in soft gels that are soft, tasty, and chewable which helps make it easier for children to consume them. This option is ideal for kids ages 3-6.
#2 – Liquid Vitamin D3/K2
Everyone in Washington needs more Vitamin D! Liquid sun! K2 is more absorbable, Muscle bone immunity. Everyone is WA needs more Vit D! This supplement, aka Liquid Sun, is more absorbable and supports blood circulation, boosts overall mood, and increases immune function. It also helps maintain healthy cardio-metabolic function and supports blood sugar balance. General rule for adults/kids is 40iu per pound of body weight!
#3 – Stellar C
Stellar C provides activated Vitamin C immunity and is rich in vitamin C and plant bioflavonoids which are known for their immunoprotective properties. In addition to supporting healthy immune function, these nutrients have been used historically for applications such as maintaining healthy veins, capillaries, skin, hair and nails by supporting normal collagen production and repair!
#4 – Zinc Supreme
Providing essential metal immunity, Zinc Supreme offers chelated minerals by Albion Advanced Nutrition, the leader in mineral technology. These are ideal chelates with a 2:1 molar ratio of two molecules of the amino acid glycine chemically bonded in liquid to one mineral ion of zinc or molybdenum for optimal absorption. These minerals are combined with other nutrients such as vitamin B6 and taurine to provide superior results.
Let’s do our best to remember to create our healthiest bodies from the inside out. Taking care of ourselves and our kids with healthy food, supplements, less stress, hydration, movement…the trifecta: Move Well, Eat Well and Think Well to stay healthy and energize YOUR life!
