Children’s Chewable Vitamins provides a combination of vitamins and minerals that help support normal growth and development in children. Niacin, thiamine and biotin provide substrates for energy production in the Krebs cycle, while vitamins B₆ and B₁₂ and folate help convert homocysteine into methionine for protein synthesis.¹ Approximately 50-60% of magnesium is found in bones, where it stimulates bone forming osteoblast activity and helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth.² Vitamin D helps absorb and use calcium and phosphorus, which are required for normal bone mineralization.³ Daily supplementation with 400 IU of vitamin D helps support bone growth in young children.⁴ Vitamin C also contributes to the development and maintenance of bones and teeth through its role in collagen synthesis, the primary structural protein found in connective tissue.¹ As collagen is also the main protein involved in wound healing, deficiencies in vitamin C may lead to impaired healing of wounds.5 Vitamin A helps maintain the natural barrier of the skin, stimulates immune cell development, and helps maintain eyesight and night vision.^6-8 Low levels of vitamin A can affect iron metabolism, which is necessary for hemoglobin production and proper red blood cell activity.⁹
