Key Ingredients
Iron and vitamin C are both essential nutrients that play key roles in children's healthy growth, development, and general health and wellbeing. Iron supports red blood cell production, helping transport oxygen throughout the body, and also supports energy production and energy levels. Vitamin C supports iron absorption, ensuring growing kids get the most out of their iron intake while also supporting a healthy immune system.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Iron and why is it important for children?
Iron is an essential mineral that helps transport oxygen in the blood, supporting energy production and energy levels. It plays an important role in supporting healthy growth and development, making it especially important for growing children.
When might children need additional Iron?
Children may need extra iron during growth spurts, periods of rapid development, or if they have a diet low in iron-rich foods. Picky eaters, vegetarians, and children with increased energy demands due to sports or an active lifestyle may require support to help maintain healthy iron levels when dietary intake is inadequate.
What are some dietary sources of iron?
Iron is found in a variety of foods, including red meat, poultry, and fish, which contain easily absorbed heme iron. Plant-based sources such as spinach, lentils, beans, and fortified cereals also provide iron, though in a form that is less readily absorbed by the body.
How does vitamin C support iron absorption
Vitamin C helps convert iron into a form that is easier for the body to absorb. This is particularly important for non-heme iron from plant-based foods, which is not as easily utilised by the body.
Can iron contribute to energy levels?
Iron helps support energy levels by contributing to healthy red blood cell production and oxygen transport. When iron levels are low, the body may struggle to effectively transport enough oxygen around the body, which is why Iron can be important for growing children!
