Vitabiotics - Wellkid Omega-3 Chewable - Orange - 60 Capsules

The Importance of Omega-3

Over the past 10 years, awareness of the importance of Omega-3 has increased, and ensuring that your child gets enough Omega-3 is a valuable step toward giving them the best start in life. Results from the National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) suggest that the consumption of fatty fish, the main source of beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids, remains low, with children eating well below the minimum recommendation of one portion per week.

Omega-3 can be found in fatty fish, such as mackerel, sardines, trout, and tuna. But, as many parents know, many children do not like the taste of fatty fish, which can make it difficult to ensure that your child gets all the Omega-3 they need and the minimum one portion per week.

Good Taste Without Fishy Aftertaste

Children can be very particular about their preferences, so it is important to provide them with a supplement that tastes good, has no fishy aftertaste, and one they are happy to take. Wellkid Omega-3 Chewable is a high-quality soft chewable capsule that provides Omega-3 fish oil, is sugar-free, and has a delicious natural Jaffa orange flavor that children love.

For Active Children Aged 4 to 12 Years

Wellkid Omega-3 Chewable capsules have been developed for active children aged 4-12 years to provide an ideal source of Omega-3, including the essential fatty acids EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid). EPA and DHA are classified as essential fatty acids because they cannot be effectively produced by the body and therefore must be obtained through the diet. Increasingly, published research studies highlight the importance of these essential fatty acids.

With 10µg of Vitamin D (per 2 capsules), the level recommended by the UK's Department of Health. Vitamin D is needed for normal growth and development of bones in children. It also contributes to their normal immune system function.

The soft chewable capsules have been developed by Vitabiotics' expert team in nutrition with the highest standards for purity and quality control.

The Growing Importance of Vitamin D3

Vitamin D plays a truly remarkable role in the body. It is important for overall good health and is needed for the normal growth and development of bones in children. New research shows that optimal intake levels of Vitamin D may be much higher than previously thought. Vitamin D3 is the body’s preferred form of Vitamin D. Vitamin D is synthesized by the body upon exposure to sunlight, but many parents now follow health advice to avoid too much sun exposure and are extra careful with children's sensitive skin, often using high SPF sunscreens, which reduces Vitamin D levels in the body. Therefore, it is especially important for children to get this from their diet or from a nutritional supplement like Wellkid Omega-3 Chewable, which includes 10µg of Vitamin D (per 2 capsules), the level recommended by the UK's Department of Health.

Vitamin D in the Diet

Vitamin D is naturally found in only a limited number of foods, such as fatty fish like herring and sardines, fish liver oil, eggs, and butter. But these can be foods that are difficult to get children to eat regularly. As Vitamin D is fat-soluble, advice to eat lower-fat diets and increasing concern for childhood obesity contribute to reduced intake from foods rich in Vitamin D, and thus supplements may be recommended.
