Four Must-Include Vitamins for Children.

Four Must-Include Vitamins for Children.Show more

Children need vitamins and minerals for a healthy immune system, growth, mental and physical development, and overall good health.

Certain vitamins like Vitamin C and D are necessary for absorption of minerals, vitamin A helps keep eyes healthy, and B vitamins are necessary for helping the body make energy and metabolism, as well as participate in some rather important functions for brain development.

Vitamins come in two forms – fat soluble, and water soluble. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the fat tissues and in your liver, ready and waiting for when the body needs them. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble vitamins.

Water-soluble vitamins are in the name – they dissolve in water. Basically, this means when water-soluble vitamins are ingested, they travel through the bloodstream to the necessary areas, and any excess comes out when you urinate. Therefore, these vitamins actually need to be replaced more often, as they don’t stick around.

Water-soluble vitamins - Vitamin C, and the all-important B-Vitamin group: thiamine (B1), Riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), folic acid (B9), and cobalamin (B12).

You may have noticed some missing numbers there… B4, B8, B10, and B11. Vitamin B4 or adenine, Vitamin B8 (inositol), Vitamin B10 (para-amino benzoic acid – PABA) and Vitamin B11 (salicylic acid) are no longer labelled as ‘essential vitamins required to be included in the diet because they cannot be manufactured by the body’.

This does not mean they are not important vitamins that some still recommend you should include. It is just that other vitamins are classed as ‘essential’ purely because our bodies require their daily contribution.

All vitamins are good for your child. However, there are four vitamins that being deficient in these vitamins is not as rare as one might think, and can result in serious developmental issues from the start, and through the child’s life.
