Children's Health

Children 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

Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C is a special form of vitamin C that encapsulates vitamin C in tiny ‘fatty’ bubbles known as liposomes, providing a delivery mechanism for the vitamin C. To make stable nano liposomes Livon Labs use high grade essential phospholipids which are extracted from lecithin.

Each 1,000 mg sachet of Vitamin C is made with 1,000 mgs of phospholipids of which 500 mgs is pure phosphatidylcholine. This combination is the key to  Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C’s delivery mechanism. Phosphatidylcholine is in many ways as important as the vitamin C because it’s not made in the body and it works to support the integrity of healthy cell membranes.  In addition to using Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C as daily supplement to provide an optimal daily dose of this important vitamin, New Zealanders can take  Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C when travelling abroad by air or sea to support their immune defences while away from home, when going into hospital and when they come out to support immunity, a healthy recovery and normal healing, to support a healthy response to stress.  Animals that make their own vitamin C can make significantly more in response to stress. When humans are stressed, they are not able to make any vitamin C. and to support healthy glowing skin and the integrity of healthy arteries blood vessels and cartilage.

Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C is committed to supporting the wellbeing of New Zealanders and it comes with an unconditional satisfaction guarantee. Product code: 858514001002 Cautions
