Frequently asked questions
At what age can children start taking supplements?
It depends on the product. Vitamin D drops are commonly used from infancy, while chewables and sprays are typically labelled for ages three or four and up. Always follow the age range and dose on the label and check with your child's health care practitioner first.
Do kids need a probiotic?
Not every child does. A children's probiotic can be a useful source of beneficial bacteria during or after changes to diet or routine. Our naturopaths look at diet, digestion and history before suggesting one, so a short consultation is a good first step.
How do I get a child to take fish oil?
Choose a lemon- or fruit-flavoured liquid, mix it into yogurt or a smoothie, and keep it refrigerated to reduce any fishy taste. Small daily amounts work better than occasional large ones. Soft chews are another option for older children.
