Do your kids shout, “Me! Me!” each morning when it’s time for their daily vitamin? Mine do! They LOVE these Shaklee Multivitamins. We once gave our kids the ever loved & well-known Flinstone vitamins… After doing our research, it was clear that it was not the choice for us. Here are a few reasons & ingredients that aren’t always known about them;
- Health experts have pointed out that flintstone vitamins are known to possess ingredients such asaspartame, gluten as well as certain artificial colors.
- Flintstone vitamins are not made in an environment with gluten products, but may possess a small amount of gluten. If your child suffers from celiac disease, also known as gluten intolerance, it is highly recommended that you do not give your child any flintstone vitamins.
- An overdose of these vitamins can result incorrosion of the digestive tract and can even result in cellular death
- The vitamins that are included in flintstone vitamins are known to besynthetic in nature, thereby causing the immune system of the body to react to theconsumption of the vitamins aka allergic reactions
- Tooth problems
On a positive note, here are some Shaklee Difference facts for you:
Kids Need Vitamin D
55% percent of children tested in a study reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition had low levels of vitamin D. That number increased to 68% during the winter months because of lack of sun exposure and an increase in the amount of time spent indoors. Findings such as these have inspired the American Academy of Pediatrics to double for kids its recommended daily intake of this essential bone-building and immune-supporting nutrient.
During childhood, vitamin D is essential for development of bones and teeth. Without it, dietary calcium and phosphorous-two key bone-building minerals-can’t be properly assimilated. With vitamin D present, calcium and phosphorous absorption is increased by up to 40% and 80%, respectively.
