Essential Supplements to Boost Your Kids’ Immunity This Fall

Essential Supplements to Boost Your Kids’ Immunity This Fall

Fall is a time of major transition for kids. With back-to-school season, cooler temperatures, and shorter days, it’s also the season for colds, flu, and other viruses to circulate more easily. So how can you boost your kids’ immune systems 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 and pills?

Liquid supplements are often the best choice for children because they are easier to swallow and digest, especially for younger children who have trouble with tablets or capsules. They also allow for faster absorption of nutrients and can be dosed precisely, making it easier to adjust to each child’s needs. Additionally, liquid supplements are often flavored, making them more enjoyable for children to take 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’s Vitamin D3 is wonderful for your children as it offers 1000 IU per drop. It is organic and can be given from 1 year old. It is easy to administer/give and has a great orange taste, your children will ask for their drop of sunshine vitamin every morning!

  1. Multivitamins: Essential for Overall Health

Multivitamins are essential for children’s health because they fill in any nutritional gaps they may have in their diet. As children grow, they have increased vitamin needs and sometimes don’t get enough 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 help support their overall health and ensure healthy long-term development.

Land Art’s 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 supplement with a great apple and peach flavour is easy to add to your child’s morning juice or smoothie to help them start their day off right.

  1. 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’s 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 as young as 1 year old.

  1. 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 children’s ally for the immunity season. Certified organic and with a good cherry flavor, ZinC is easy to dose thanks to its graduated dropper. Containing Zinc and Vitamin C, it is a supplement to have to support the immune system of the whole family from 1 year old. 

 

By establishing a good routine with proper nutrition, supplements if needed, and good hygiene practices, you can help protect your family from fall viruses and promote their well-being throughout the season.
