Why take a Vita-mini Sports Multi vitamin?

For children who are more active, certain nutrients, including anti-oxidants, B vitamins and some minerals, may be needed in increased amounts above the RDI figures.

According to The Fourth Biennial Health Report of the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 1994 and the National Dietary Survey of Schoolchildren, 1985, many Australian children are not meeting their RDI's for a number of nutrients, especially Calcium, Zinc and Iron. Many children also lack some of the B complex vitamins, Vitamin C and E and the minerals, Magnesium and Manganese.

Minerals

Minerals may be required in increased amounts during exercise. A number of minerals are lost via perspiration and active children may find mineral supplementation to be of benefit. Iron can be lost through perspiration. Iron is important for blood production. The symptoms of Iron deficiency include fatigue, irritability, poor concentration and decreased resistance to infections.

B Vitamins

The B vitamins are vital to participate in many biochemical reactions, including the conversion of food to energy. Energy is necessary for children to maintain their high activity levels. The levels of Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 found in Vita-minis Sports Multi Vitamin and Mineral Formula help to meet the needs of active children.

These vitamins are required during development to help build healthy cells and are beneficial for dermatitis, dryness of the scalp or skin and during courses of antibiotics. The B complex vitamins are not stored in the body in large amounts because they are water-soluble. It is necessary to consume them daily.

Anti-oxidants

radical scavengers.
