VIRIDIAN SUPPLEMENTS for CHILDREN
It’s often difficult to find suitable supplements for children, especially if they’re fussy eaters or
are too young to swallow tablets or capsules. I've used the Viridikid range for a while now and have seen some great results. |
VIRIDIAN Children's Synbiotic (probiotic) Complex Powder
After all the years of experience I've had in clinical practice seeing the benefits of using probiotics and especially since researching for my latest book Good Gut Bugs, I can't help but wish probiotics for children were recommended more often by health professionals. I've seen lots of cases of childhood illness including eczema, allergies, behavioural problems, bedwetting, constipation, and frequent infections, especially glue ear, where probiotics have helped enormously. This Viridian probiotic powder tastes great and is easy to take straight from the spoon or mix into cereals, smoothies or juice. It’s additive-free and from non-dairy sources.
For those of you who like the detail, the complex combines Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Bifidobacterium lactis and Bifidobacterium bifidum and delivers a total bacterial count (per gram of powder) of 2 billion live organisms. The formula is suitable for kids from one year old up to 14 years. I've also found it useful for adults during convalescence and for people who can't swallow capsules or are on liquid diets.

VIRIDIAN Viridikid 100% organic omega-3 oil
I've talked with a lot of youngsters in the clinic over the years who were, following investigations, found to be lacking in essential fatty acids (in particular, omega-3). Signs of deficiency can include dry scaly skin, poor healing of wounds, allergies, increased susceptibility to respiratory infections and a horribly long list of the diseases of so-called 'civilised' nations. I’m convinced that a lack of these important oils in childhood can increase the risk of things like heart disease, stroke, diabetes and arthritis in later life. Viridian’s organic Viridikid oil is a blend of omega 3, 6 and 9 in a great tasting natural fruit flavoured base. Cold-pressed (produced naturally without the use of solvents) and comfortingly free from nasties such as sugar, artificial sweeteners, colourings or flavours.

ViridiKid Multi Vitamin & Mineral
Viridian also produces a very good children's multi-vitamin mineral called ViridiKid Multi. I like this one because the capsules are small and easy to get down yet they can also be twisted open and the contents mixed into smoothies, yoghurt, juice or onto food. Suitable for kids aged 2-14, each mini capsule gives the Recommended Daily Amount of all the appropriate vitamins and minerals. Great for topping up a fussy eater’s diet, I've also found them helpful for children who seem susceptible to repeated infections and have used them particularly successfully in conjunction with the Viridian Children's Synbiotic and Junior Echinaforce (Bioforce Dr Vogel).
