FAQ

Every child is different; Nutrigen dedicated for the different needs of different children of different children. Similarly, every parent is different, and they have different questions about our supplements. For the different questions of different parents, we present the FAQs.

Does my kid need additional vitamins and minerals even if I feed him/her well?

Children require certain amounts of vitamins and minerals for healthy development and growth. Recent studies indicate that the vitamin and mineral content in fruits and vegetables have considerably decreased. Besides, the vitamin and mineral content in fruits and vegetables may also decrease due to;

  • - peeling, and the method and duration of cooking
  • - method and duration of cooking.

In turn, this necessitates children to consume larger-than-feasible amounts of fruits and vegetables to obtain the vitamins and minerals they require. As a result, vitamin and mineral supplements that support children’s healthy development and growth; that are formulated according to their daily nutritional needs; and that are manufactured with highest quality standards, are recommended.
