Smart Vitamins Junior was specially developed for children aged 3 and up and contains carefully selected vitamins and minerals that match daily needs during growth and development. The formula combines vitamin D, C, zinc, iodine, vitamin K, and B12 in child-friendly dosages, as a supplement to a varied diet.

Vitamin D is necessary for normal growth and development of bones in children and plays a central role in calcium and phosphate metabolism. Vitamin K contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. Together, they support healthy skeletal development during key growth phases.

Vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system. During childhood, the immune system is constantly challenged. This combination supports children’s natural defenses on a daily basis, all year round.

Zinc and iodine contribute to normal cognitive function. These micronutrients play a role in learning processes, concentration, and mental development.

Smart Vitamins Junior is a lozenge with a natural strawberry flavour, highly appreciated by children. A small amount of dextrose is used to ensure a pleasant taste, without the use of artificial sweeteners.

Vitamin D plays an important role in the growth and development of bones in children. It is involved in the absorption of calcium and phosphate in the intestines, which is essential for healthy bone metabolism during the growth phase. In addition, vitamin D contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.

Recent Belgian research in children and adolescents shows that a large proportion do not get enough vitamin D, with clear seasonal variations. Lower vitamin D levels are more common during periods with less sunlight. This highlights the importance of paying attention to vitamin D intake as part of a healthy lifestyle.
