Growing children: well supplied with vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids

Children playing in a room – growing children: well-nourished with vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids.

Children

Children grow, learn and rediscover the world every day. A balanced diet forms the basis for this exciting phase of life. Vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in this.

Why micronutrients are important for children

During the period between kindergarten and school, children’s needs are continuously changing. Growth, exercise, learning and an active daily life place different demands on the body.

A varied diet provides valuable vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Depending on their age, diet or stage of life, parents want to supplement their children’s diet in a targeted manner.
