Optimum Health Essentials for Kids
Children�s Chewable Multi-Vitamin & Mineral

DESCRIPTION
Optimum Health Essentials for Kids provided by Nutrition Dynamics, Inc. is a great tasting, chewable multiple vitamin-mineral-trace element supplement designed for children ages four and up. The unique teddy bear shaped Optimum Health Essentials for Kids chewable tablets provide 27 vitamins, minerals and trace elements in bioavailable forms and nutritionally meaningful amounts.

Optimum Health Essentials for Kids is more than just another children�s multivitamin-mineral supplement. Research shows that above RDA amounts of many vitamins may have significant positive effects on the structure and function of growing bodies.

Compared to major brands of children�s chewable multivitamins, the convenient chewable tablets of Optimum Health Essentials for Kids provide several times the levels of the important antioxidant vitamins C and E. Optimum Health Essentials for Kids also delivers significantly more than the levels of most B-vitamins of brand-name vitamins, and provides easily absorbable calcium and magnesium, as well as a full spectrum of bioavailable trace elements.

In fact, Optimum Health Essentials for Kids is one of the most complete children�s chewable multivitamin/mineral formulas on the market. In contrast to typical children�s vitamins, vitamin D is intentionally kept low, because it can be potentially toxic in high amounts, and regular diets already provide generous amounts of vitamin D. Optimum Health Essentials for Kids uses only the purest, most hypoallergenic ingredients and contains no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.

FUNCTIONS
Studies show that a high percentage of children in North America and other developed countries eat less than the minimum daily allowance of many essential nutrients. Adequate amounts and proper balance of these nutrients are needed not only for maintaining good health, but also for satisfying the special nutritional demands of growth and development during childhood. Optimum Health Essentials for Kids has been carefully designed and formulated to contain the right proportions of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements without danger of toxic build-up and without side effects. Each ingredient is selected in consideration of its absorbability, competitive relationship with other nutrients, taste, allergenic potential, and long-term safety.

INDICATIONS
Optimum Health Essentials for Kids is ideal for children that are at risk for vitamin, mineral and trace element deficiencies due to sub-optimal dietary intake, and life style.
