The benefits of baby food supplements
The early years are crucial for physical and cognitive development. Dietary supplements provide key elements such as :
-
- Vitamin D: essential for calcium absorption and bone development.
- Omega-3 fatty acids: necessary for brain and visual development.
- Iron: essential for red blood cell production and prevention of anemia.
During high-risk periods (winter, change of season), supplements rich in vitamin C, zinc or probiotics help support the child's natural defenses.
For infants prone to colic, constipation or regurgitation, herbal or probiotic-based supplements can soothe and rebalance the intestinal flora.
Adapted formulas can help reduce agitation, soothe the child and improve sleep quality, thanks to ingredients such as chamomile or lemon balm.
