Growing bodies need a large amount of nutritional support and nourishment. It is vital that children are given all of the nutrients they need if they are going to have the best start possible in life. Fussy eating results in restricted nutrient intake, and this combined with the lack of minerals available in our soils today and the wide range of health conditions that can come up during childhood, means that we do need to consider giving supplements to our children if we are to ensure they are getting adequate nutrients to support good health, growth and vitality.
