Vitals Kids Omega 3 Plus 60 jellies

Kids Omega 3 Plus Jellies from Vitals are the new favourite among children, in the form of a delicious tasting chewing gel. These unique jellies have been developed in such a way that a high dosage of fish oil can be processed, without this causing an overpowering fishy taste (as is sometimes the case with gummies with fish oil). This means that one to two jellies per day are sufficient for an effective amount of omega 3. In addition to a generous dosage of the most important omega 3 fatty acid DHA for the brain and vision, Kids Omega 3 Plus Jellies contain other essential nutrients, such as iodine for healthy growth and good learning ability. And vitamin D for normal growth and development of children's bones. Vitamin C and D are also good for resistance.

In short, these chewable gels are an easy way to provide children with extra nutrients on a daily basis, to supplement a healthy diet. Also suitable for adults who do not like capsules and tablets, and prefer a tasty and chewable food supplement to increase their intake of nutrients such as DHA and vitamin D3.

Growing up healthy
In order to grow up healthy as a child, in addition to unconditional love from parents and a safe environment, a healthy lifestyle is also important. This starts with sufficient exercise (preferably outdoors), good sleep and a healthy diet including a large amount of fruit and vegetables. Unfortunately, in practice, it appears that both children and adults do not succeed in getting all the necessary nutrients in sufficient quantities every day. This applies in particular to vitamin D, which is only found in small quantities in food and for which we mainly depend on the production in our skin under the influence of sunlight. In Western Europe, the number of hours of sun and the sun's strength are often insufficient, especially in the autumn and winter months, which is why it is wise for many children and adults to supplement their diet with a vitamin D supplement.

The intake of the important fish fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is also often insufficient, because many children (but also adults) simply do not like fish. For Kids Omega 3 Plus Jellies from Vitals, a generous amount of vitamin D3 and DHA (plus EPA) per jelly has therefore been chosen. Supplemented with iodine, which is an important trace element for growing children. And with a little extra vitamin C for resistance.

DHA: good for brain function and eyes
Kids Omega 3 Plus Jellies from Vitals contains no less than 250 mg DHA (and 50 mg EPA) per jelly. The polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid DHA is an important building block of the nerve tissue in our brains. Less well known is that DHA is also part of the retina in our eye. The retina is formed from brain tissue during the development of the fetus. In fact, this part of the eye therefore remains structurally part of our central nervous system. The retina consists of nerve cells, which also have a high level of DHA in their membranes. The retina captures the light that we perceive and converts it into electrical signals that then travel to our brain via the optic nerve.

DHA is therefore important for brain function as well as for vision, in both children and adults. Because the body has a very limited ability to produce DHA from its precursor (the essential omega-3 fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid [ALA]), it is necessary to consume sufficient DHA daily by eating fish and/or taking a supplement with at least 250 mg DHA. Because omega-3 fatty acids are vulnerable during processing into supplements, it is wise to always choose a good quality fish oil that is produced by reputable suppliers. As is the case with Kids Omega 3 Plus Jellies. The omega-3 in this product is exclusively in the form of triglycerides, because this form is best absorbed.

Vitamin D: good for bones and the immune system
The Health Council advises all children up to and including 3 years of age to supplement 10 mcg of vitamin D per day. But also for older children whose skin is insufficiently exposed to sunlight (and/or who have a tinted skin) the current government advice is to use a vitamin D supplement daily. In the dark days of autumn and winter it will soon become apparent that insufficient vitamin D is produced in the skin and a vitamin D supplement is indispensable for many children (but also adults).

The best-known function of vitamin D is to contribute to strong and healthy bones, because it ensures that calcium from food is better absorbed and becomes available in sufficient quantities in the body for the construction of strong bone tissue. This is especially important for children whose skeleton is still developing. However, vitamin D also contributes to strong teeth and has a positive effect on the immune system of children. Even more reasons to ensure a sufficient intake of this vitamin. Each jelly also contains some vitamin C, which helps to ensure good resistance.

Iodine: supports learning ability and growth
The importance of the trace element iodine should not be underestimated. Iodine occurs naturally in seaweed, fish and shellfish. It is also added to salt that is used to bake bread, among other things. This is done because iodine intake in Western Europe is on the low side. However, it is then necessary for people to eat sufficient bread, which is not the case for everyone. A nutritional supplement can also provide a solution here.

Iodine is important for normal thyroid function. It also plays a role in cognitive function, contributing to learning ability and concentration. Finally, it helps children grow normally. Kids Omega 3 Plus Jellies contain a safe dosage of 22.5 μg iodine per jelly.

Kids Omega 3 Plus Jellies, a revolutionary food supplement
These innovative jellies have been developed in collaboration with the Norwegian manufacturer Vitux. Jellies are becoming increasingly popular due to the advantages that this form of administration offers, such as a very pleasant taste and the possibility to add more active ingredients than with gummies. Jellies offer another important advantage specifically for fatty nutrients (such as omega 3 fatty acids). Because the patented production process called ConCordix ensures that the fatty acids are divided into very small droplets, the result is that they are even more easily absorbed into the body. Vitux has been inspired by Mother Nature. The body itself ensures that fats are properly digested and absorbed in the same way, by dividing dietary fats into small droplets (a process called emulsification).

Furthermore, this jelly shape in combination with a special double aluminum packaging provides excellent protection of the vulnerable omega 3 fatty acids against oxidation. Moreover, the taste of these jellies is extremely pleasant despite the high doses of fish oil and other nutrients. Kids Omega 3 Plus Jellies from Vitals is a very good example that healthy and tasty can go together!
