Supplementing your child’s diet with Zoo-Vite vitamins

Zoo-Vite is a brand by HST Medical, the trusted Singapore company for health and supplements. The Zoo-Vite range of children’s dietary supplements is made from 100% natural ingredients (no artificial preservatives, sweeteners or colours, thank you very much). The vitamins come in great tasting fruity flavoured jelly sticks and gummies as well as in liquid form for even the fussiest eaters. Zoo-Vite supplements are free from animal gelatin, yeast, (wheat) gluten, peanuts, tree nuts and starch. Individually packaged sachets make these multivitamins super convenient and hygienic, not to mention handy for travelling and holidays!

If your child is a picky eater, there are lots of tips out there that can help get them back onto a balanced diet of whole foods — like continually reintroducing foods (their taste buds may change!) and making sure mealtimes aren’t hurried or stressful. While you are doing your best to encourage healthier appetites, Zoo-Vite has a number of different vitamins that can help fill the nutritional gap depending on your child’s eating habits and nutritional needs.

My kid won’t eat veggies: try Zoo-Vite MultiVitamins Safari Buddies Gummies

Vegetables of all different colours are an important source of fiber, potassium, folate, vitamin A, vitamin E, and vitamin C. If your kid won’t eat their veg, Zoo-Vite MultiVitamins Safari Buddies Gummies are a great all-rounder multivitamin to look to as they contain 13 essential vitamins and minerals (Vitamins: A, B6, B12, C, D and E, Folic Acid, Choline, Pantothenic Acid, Biotin, Inositol, Iodine and Zinc). It’s also a good idea to look into Zoo-Vite DHA Jelly Sticks which boost brain function, supports memory and learning, and promotes good vision thanks to DHA from microalgae, Wolfberry and Bilberry extracts.

My kid won’t eat dairy: try Zoo-Vite Calcium Jelly Sticks

Dairy (like milk, cheese, yogurt) provides calcium, potassium, and vitamin D. Kids who won’t or can’t have dairy need to make sure they are getting enough calcium so pick up the Zoo-Vite Calcium Jelly Sticks which support strong bones and teeth in kids with ingredients of calcium, vitamin D, and Vitamin C to promote absorption of calcium as well as to protect against immune system deficiencies.

My kid won’t eat fruit: try Zoo-Vite Vitamin C Jelly Sticks

Some kids won’t go near fruit so they could be missing out on potassium, fiber, vitamin C, and folate. Zoo-Vite Vitamin C Jelly Sticks are fortified with Vitamin C from Camu Camu and Acerola Cherry which provides 25 times more natural Vitamin C than all other food sources!

My kid won’t eat fish/seafood or nuts: try Zoo-Vite DHA Jelly

DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, is one of the components of brain tissue and may influence neurotransmitters helping brain cells to communicate better with each other. DHA-rich food sources include cold water fatty fishes (salmon, tuna, sardines, mackerel and seafood like oysters and shrimps) while plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids, are mainly from canola oil, soybean oil, linseeds (flaxseeds) and walnuts. If your kid is not a fan of seafood and allergic to nuts,  Zoo-Vite DHA Jelly can help to supplement their diet with pure algal DHA fatty acid to promote cognitive performance and visual function, plus wolfberry and bilberry for good vision.

My kid won’t eat grains: try Zoo-Vite MultiVitamins Safari Buddies Gummies

Whole grains are important sources of fiber, iron, magnesium, selenium, B vitamins, including thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and folate. If your kid won’t eat foods like bread, pasta, rice, etc., they may be missing out on important nutrients so it’s back to Zoo-Vite MultiVitamins Safari Buddies Gummies with the 13 essential vitamins and minerals in fun gummy bear shapes.
