The Importance of Omega-3

Awareness of the importance of Omega-3 has increased over the past 10 years, and ensuring your child has enough Omega-3 is a valuable step towards giving them the best start in life. The National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) suggests that consumption of oily fish, a major source of beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids, remains low, with children consuming well below the minimum recommended portion of one portion per week.

Omega-3 can be found in oily fish such as mackerel, sardines, trout and tuna. However, as mums know, many children do not like the taste of oily fish, so it can be difficult to ensure your child is getting all the Omega-3 they need and the minimum serving of one serving per week.

Excellent taste without any fishy aftertaste

Children can be very picky about what they like and don’t like, so it’s important to give them a supplement that tastes great, doesn’t have a fishy aftertaste and that they enjoy taking. Wellkid Omega-3 Chewable are high-quality, soft-serve capsules that provide Omega-3 fish oil without sugar and a delicious natural Jaffa orange flavour that children love.

For active children aged 4 to 12

Wellkid Omega-3 Chewable capsules have been developed for active children aged 4 to 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 classed as essential fatty acids because the body cannot produce them efficiently, so they must be obtained from food. A growing body of published research highlights the importance of these essential fatty acids.

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

The soft, chewy capsules are formulated by Vitabiotics' team of nutritional experts to the highest standards of purity and quality control.

The Growing Importance of Vitamin D3

Vitamin D plays a truly extraordinary role in the body. It is essential for general good health and is needed for the proper growth and development of bones in children. New research shows that the optimal level of vitamin D intake may be much higher than previously thought. Vitamin D3 is the body’s preferred form of vitamin D. Vitamin D is synthesised by the body in the presence of sunlight, but many parents now follow health advice to avoid too much sun and take extra care with their children’s delicate skin, often using high SPF sunscreens, which lowers the body’s vitamin D levels. This is why it is particularly important for children to get it from food or from a nutritional supplement such as Wellkid Omega-3 Chewable, which contains 10µg of vitamin D (per 2 capsules), which is the level recommended by the UK Department of Health.

Vitamin D in the diet

Vitamin D occurs naturally in only a limited number of foods, such as oily fish such as herring and sardines, fish liver oils, eggs and butter. However, these may be foods that children find difficult to consume regularly. Because vitamin D is fat-soluble, recommendations for low-fat diets and growing concerns about childhood obesity may lead to reduced consumption of foods rich in vitamin D, and dietary supplementation may be recommended.
