*Disclosure – This is a paid post in partnership with Amway. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
Like most mums, I want the very best for my children and that includes their health. We always try to maintain a balanced diet for them both to ensure they get all of the nutrients and vitamins that their growing bodies need.
As with most children though, this can be a trying task when they are presented with foods such as broccoli or fish only to turn up their nose! Sometimes, no amount of persuading is enough and when I have made the effort to hide these foods in recipes or disguise the flavours, my kids turn into food detectives and catch me out each and every time!
Most vitamins can be found in a variety of foods, so if your kids don’t like a certain vegetable, you can introduce them to something else. Omega 3 is predominantly found in oily fish, salmon, herrings, anchovies herrings and mackerel being the best sources. These are all foods which our children do not like in the slightest! The only other source of Omega 3 is from nuts. With nut allergies being a big concern of mine, I try to stay clear from nuts where my youngest is concerned. This leaves us unable to introduce Omega 3 through food, and as we cannot produce these essential fatty oils ourselves, we need to supplement them into our diet.
There are so many different studies being undertaken on the health benefits of Omega 3. It is also proven to be essential for the production of grey matter production in our brains and many vision and cognitive tasks depend on Omega 3.
Amway has made it easier for children to get the Omega 3 they need via Kids Omega-3 NUTRILITE™ fruit flavoured soft chews.
Here are just 5 reasons why we would choose Nutrilite Omega 3 for kids.
1. Nutrilite fruit flavoured chews have a pleasant taste. Amway has cleverly masked the fishy flavour making them more appealing to little ones.
2. The chews are soft and squidgy making them super easy for younger ones to be able to chew them.
3. Omega 3 supports the normal growth of our bones.
4. Children as young as 4 can take Kids Omega-3 Nutrilite Fruit Flavoured Soft Chews.
5. 30 chews in each pack so an ample supply to be getting on with.
Neither of my boys need coaxing when it comes to getting outside. They definitely get enough of their vitamin D intake from the great outdoors. However, growing bones could always do with a little extra support. Nutrilite will help keep us healthy through the winter months whilst all we need to do is have fun!
Do your little ones take supplements? Or perhaps you do?
My children take a daily multivitamin supplement. I have been looking for an Omega 3 supplement, I will need to try this one.
