Child health - a matter of concern and trembling of all parents - is a fragile enough thing. Toddlers get sick much more often than adults, and the main reason for this is the immunity that has not yet been worked out for most diseases.
The immune system of a newborn baby is a clean sheet, to which all the diseases transferred gradually write down their history. After "childhood" diseases, such as rubella, chickenpox, measles, and after preventive vaccinations, the baby develops antibodies to a specific disease so that she never disturbs him again.
As for colds, the child is sick the less, the stronger his immunity. And it is strengthened as a natural way (balanced nutrition, hardening, regular exposure to fresh air, physical activity), and with the help of vitamins to boost immunity. And the most effective way to combine a healthy lifestyle with a periodic intake of vitamins.
The role of vitamins for immunity for children
Many vitamins take part in increasing the body's defenses, but A, C, D, E are the most important among them. Therefore, with weakened immunity, a vitamin complex for the child containing the whole set will be useful. Children's vitamins to enhance immunity are usually available in the form of syrups, lozenges or chewable tablets with fruit flavors. However, among all the variety of such means by which drug store windows are filled, it is quite difficult for parents to choose the one that suits their child, providing real help in the problem of immunity and without causing any adverse allergic reactions. In this article, let's briefly review the most popular types of vitamins for children that increase immunity.

Each tablet "Alphabet" is a ready-made set of vitamins and minerals responsible for the iron content in the child's blood, an adequate response of his immune system to infections so frequent in kindergartens, as well as for the growth and development of babies.

Vitrum vitamins doctors often recommend to children during the recovery period after the transferred infections. Vitrum Kids contains 12 basic vitamins and 10 minerals, providing daily need for them children from 4 to 7 years. Kids really like these vitamins in the form of chewing "bears", which, by the way, do not contain dyes in their composition.
