WHAT DOES IT DO?
According to the manufacturer:
Reprinted with permission of Life Extension.
"Children need a sound nutritional basis upon which to grow and develop, so it's important to ensure that they eat a balanced diet. However, with busy schedules, and fast or preprocessed foods, children may not meet all of their recommended daily value of nutrients each day. A daily multivitamin supplement can help provide the nutrition they need to grow up strong and healthy.
The Children's Formula Life Extension Mix, a children multivitamins supplement, contains ingredients from Life Extension Mix -- in amounts that are suitable for children four years and older. Each easy to chew tablet contains ten essential minerals and vitamins, including A, D and C -- important for a child's healthy development and growth.
Daily vitamins for children are only as good as a child's willingness to take it. Parents know that children can be finicky about the taste no matter how nutritious. Children's Mix has been reformulated for a more appealing berry flavor. We have also removed a select few nutrients that were interfering with a great-tasting product.
Food supplements containing a mix of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, amino acids, essential fatty acids, phospholipids, and probiotics have been shown to help with childhood attention and self-control problems."
