Kids Liquid Plant-Based Omega-3

Wondering about the nutritional needs of your child? What does a Naturopath say? Are you a parent, who like many of us, wonder about the nutritional needs of your child? Do you wonder if taking a vitamin or supplement is necessary to give our children on top of their current diet? If so, you are not alone. This is a common concern amongst parents who want the best for their child’s health. Quick answer: child friendly supplements can help fill in the gap for your growing child, especially if they are picky eaters and don’t have the best diet. Supplements Can Bridge the Gap As children grow, it is important for them to get enough vitamins and minerals to ensure optimal health. Supplements don’t make up for a healthy balanced diet, but they can certainly act as a bridge to help prevent nutrient deficiencies that may arise. Parents should focus on a well-rounded diet to ensure their children meet the daily recommended amount of vitamins and minerals. A healthy plate should be rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains and fiber, protein rich foods and healthy fats. While all vitamins and minerals are important for growth and development, some are especially critical for children. Given the reality of our busy and fast-paced lives, we don’t get as many well-rounded home cooked meals as we would like to. As a Naturopathic Doctor and mom of two young growing boys, I recommend certain child friendly supplements as a welcomed addition to help ensure strong growing body’s and minds for the development of healthy children. Check out Organika's Lineup of Supplements for Kids How do you know if your child needs a supplement? Kids who may benefit from the addition of vitamins may include: Kids who aren't eating regular, well-balanced meals made from fresh, whole foods including a variety of fruits and vegetables, proteins and healthy fats Picky eaters who simply just aren’t eating enough or enough variety. Kids with specific medical concerns or digestive problems, or kids taking prescription medications that may cause nutrient deficiencies. Kids eating a lot of fast food, processed or convenience food in packages. High sugar or carbonated beverages also deplete the body of key nutrients. Kids on a vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free or other restrictive diet, who may need iron, calcium or another specific nutrient or supplement. The Takeaway It’s best for kids to get all the vitamins and minerals they need from a well-balanced diet. And generally, they do. But it can be more challenging to get adequate levels of certain nutrients, which is where an excellent quality supplement can be a great addition. Superior quality supplements should be non-GMO, and free of artificial colours, preservatives, and sweeteners. Need a supplement that checks all the boxes?

Your child’s health routine can be as extensive and targeted as your own routine. Their young bodies and minds do have a specific set of nutritional needs for development, vision, immunity, cognition, and gut health. If you're left wondering if your picky eater or school aged child is getting enough nutrients in the day, you are not alone. Organika has formulated a kid’s natural supplement lineup; which covers everything from multivitamins, zinc and probiotics to specific formulations for vision and cognition. Give your kids a healthy head start. DIET IS THE FOUNDATION TO YOUR FAMILY'S HEALTH It’s no secret that due to time constraints, the world of quick, packaged and processed convenience foods came to be. Convenience and processed foods are often void of nutrients, in comparison to eating whole foods. In addition, sugar, carbonated beverages, and junk food can leach vitamins and minerals away from growing bodies. Eating a whole foods diet is key! Supplementation may help to boost overall health. Boost Your Kid's Overall Health Multivitamins can help fill nutritional gaps. Picky eaters may not always be getting the required amount of vitamins or minerals that the growing body needs at a young age. Additionally, if your child has a preexisting condition or requires medication, there may be concern for nutrients being depleted. Always consult with a health care practitioner before adding supplements to your children’s routine. Organika Li'l Kids Multi Vitamin Spray contains a broad range of vitamins to provide your child with a solid base. Vitamin A, which contributes to the health and strength of the surface of the eyes, mucous membranes and skin surrounding the eyes. These serve as vigilant barriers against bacteria and viruses ,reducing risk of eye and respiratory infections. For developing immune systems, there are vitamins C and Vitamin D which are vital for antimicrobial response, a key part of immune protection. Vitamin C strengthens immune defenses and keeps the immune system responsive. It is also a powerful antioxidant, a key ingredient in combating damage from free radicals and preventing oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can lead to asthma, diabetes and inflammatory disorders like eczema. Vitamins B6 and B12 are included to support energy metabolism and iodine for a healthy thyroid. Thyroid hormones are key for healthy growth and development, as well as heart, muscle and digestive function. Supporting the thyroid is vital for cognitive development and maintenance of strong bones. All these nutrients come in a convenient spray, that is non-GMO and gluten-free!

Kids Liquid Zinc with Vitamin C supports the immune system and encourages the body’s natural ability to metabolize nutrients.

Probiotics and Immune Health WHY GUT HEALTH IS KEY TO IMMUNE HEALTH Antibody production and its abundance is based on healthy ratios of probiotic bacteria in the gut. 70% of our immune system is housed here! Your baby’s microbiome development started at birth, passed on from the mother, and as a result, their immune health starts to develop. The proliferation of good gut bacteria supports a healthy microbiome by ensuring the ratios of “good” to “bad” bacteria stay in check. Organika's Baby Probiotic Drops With Vitamin D should be a part of your child’s ongoing bowel and immune support. It can reduce the occurrence of colic in breastfed infants and provide the gut microbiome with diverse microorganisms.

Support your Child’s Cognitive Health Supporting brain health with Kids Liquid Plant Based DHA will have your little ones meeting all developmental milestones with ease! Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are omega-3 fatty acids that work together to assist in the formation of neurotransmitters and reduce inflammation that impedes healthy function. DHA supports the growth and development of their whole nervous system. EPA supports cognitive function and reduces inflammatory disorders throughout the body. Obtaining omega-3 fatty acids from food can be challenging, and many children aren’t reaching daily requirements. EPA and DHA are formulated here in specific ratios for maximum benefits. Organika Kids Liquid Plant Based DHA comes in delicious Lemon Burst flavour and are vegan-friendly! Our DHA and EPA, omega-3 fatty acids are sourced from a marine algae called Schizochytrium.

This plant-based supplement bypasses the consumption of fish and makes for clean and potent omega-3 support! Support Your Child’s Vision Organika omega-3 supplements help prevent dry eyes and other symptoms associated with computer vision syndrome. Constant movement, focusing and reduced blinking associated with screen time leads to computer vision syndrome and eventual degeneration. Omega-3s support the balance of oil, mucus and water required in and around the eyes to maintain even and consistent lubrication. To support and protect your child’s vision, we recommend pairing Kids Liquid Plant-Based DHA with our Kids Vision Chewable Tablets for increased protection! Organika Kids Vision Chewable Tablets contain 2000 IUs of vitamin A and 800 mcg of Beta-carotene per serving. This helps maintain healthy eyesight and improves nighttime vision. Vitamin A plays a vital role in vision. There are two forms of vitamin A; plant-derived and animal-derived. Animal sourced vitamin A is called retinol or “preformed” vitamin A, which is ready for the body to use. Good sources of retinol vitamin A include beef, chicken liver, whole milk and cheese. Plant-derived vitamin A is known as “provitamin A” carotenoids, which are converted in the body. Good sources include carrots, sweet potato, spinach and kale. Beta-carotene is one of the most common and effective versions of provitamin A carotenoid. If your child isn’t getting these sources, a supplement may be the answer.
