Regular price $25.99Children 2-3 years: One tablet daily, Children 4-8 years: Two tablets daily, Children 8 and over: Two to four tablets daily Radiance Kid's Calcium VitaChews is especially made for kids and growing teenagers, as children reach their peak bone mass between the ages of 18 to 20, therefore, it is important to provide them with all the right nutritional building blocks for well structured and resilient bones early in life. Calcium, an important bone and teeth nutrient, is also vital for healthy muscle function and maintenance of the body’s pH (acid/alkali) level.
Despite the intense and ongoing marketing campaign by the dairy industry, many nutritionists do not consider dairy products (milk and cheese) to be a good source of calcium for humans at any age. Milk is high in calcium, that’s true, but it is a poorly absorbed form of calcium (remember calves have a ruminant digestive system with four stomach compartments, large numbers of bacteria and micro-organisms and high acidity to enable them to digest calcium from mothers milk and grass). Milk is also high in phosphorous and protein which are significant calcium agonists - that means they actually reduce the body's calcium stores.
Other good sources of calcium include leafy green veges, salmon and sardines with bones, black strap molasses, oats, nuts and legumes. Even if your child has a superb diet, incorporating all these things, can you be sure they are getting enough calcium? There are four important factors to consider that affect calcium absorption and utilisation for healthy bones as much if not more that diet alone. Product code: 9417780009580 Cautions
