Doctor, Doctor what's all the fuss about?

Health Experts Launch Nutritional Solution For Fussy Children Nutrigen, the children’s health experts, has launched Vitamixin Sprinkles, a new innovative vitamin and mineral supplement, formulated by doctors specifically for infant’s and children’s nutritional needs. Available through pharmacies and health stores nationwide, Vitamixin sprinkles are taste-free and can be discreetly added to food with a unique ‘sprinkle application’; providing parents with an scientifically formulated, simple nutritional solution to support their child’s health and diet needs. What’s all the fuss about? Nutritional expert, Dr Sarah Brewer author of The Essential Guide to Vitamins, Minerals and Herbal Supplements, says; “Parents often face the difficult task of ensuring their child receives all the nutrition they need. Nutritional supplements that provide added fortification to a child’s diet give peace of mind to parents that they’re providing for the development and healthy growth of their child.” As experts continue to warn of the decrease in naturally occurring vitamin and mineral levels in foods(1), scientifically substantiated nutritional supplementation provides parents with a reassurance that their children are receiving all the nutritional elements needed to help them remain fit and healthy. "Certain vitamins and minerals, especially vitamins D3, iron, and minerals selenium and zinc, are often lacking in a child’s diet, due to nutrient-depleted foods and fussy eating habits. Inadequate intake of these essential key nutrients, may affect healthy development” says Dr Sarah Brewer. Vitamixin sprinkle sachets contain the full Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) of 10 essential vitamins and 4 minerals that are designed to ensure children receive the nutrients needed to support growth, energy levels, blood and immune health. Vitamixin Sprinkles are recommended for children between six months and two years as a one-a-day supplement. The sprinkles are taste-free, easily hidden and can be added straight into any semi-sold food or incorporated a daily meal, with no affect on the flavour, colour, texture or taste of your child’s favourite food. Nutrigen gives you the nutritional platform needed to get your child ‘well above average.’ . Vitamixin (£6.99 for box of 30 sachets) are available from The Nutri Centre (www.nutricentre.com), all good health food stores and pharmacies. --- ENDS --- For samples, imagery or expert comment please contact Charlotte Dormon or Emma Metcalf at CCD Public Relations.
