Why Infants and Children Need Nutritional Supplements by David Chapman
In our modern world with stresses of Modern Life, we still want to do the best for our children. We all remember that magic moment when we first held our children and the tremendous feeling of love we felt for them. We want to do the best for our children.
We are all aware that proper nutrition is extremely important for a growing child not only for physical but for brain development. Many modern ‘experts’ will tell you that babies do not need any extra supplementation – that your breast milk or formula will give them all they need. Unfortunately these ‘experts’ are not taking into account recent research, or the realities of modern life and the nutritional content of our foods.
The reality is that most of our food comes from ‘factory farms’ which has meant a significant reduction in the nutritional content of our foods – In the past 40 years, Calcium content of foods has declined 20-30%, iron 22 – 37%, vitamin A 30%, potassium 14%. Plant breeding for disease resistance and faster growth has often increased the sugar contents of foods while reducing their nutritional content. And GMO foods and trace amounts of pesticides such as glyphosate, the main ingredient of Monsanto’s round Up, which is considered a carcinogen are playing havoc with our nutrition and the nutrition of our children.
Recent research is showing that even babies need to be given Vitamin D drops, and other research has shown the need for Omega 3 oils for optimal brain development, as well as the need for additional iron, magnesium. B12 and many others.
The formulators at allKiDz have taken into account the latest research and developed a line of supplements that are ideal to help your babies and children optimize their development.
