Supplements For Pediatric Health
As you know, I believe that a balanced, healthy diet and lifestyle can help your child to grow and thrive. While most nutrients should be obtained from whole, nutrient-dense foods, dietary supplements may be used when needs can’t be met through the diet or in cases of nutrient deficiencies.

In addition to these, consider giving your child a multivitamin and mineral supplement providing a broad-spectrum of nutrients to support general health.
