Growing babies and children don't always get the vitamins they need, especially if their diet is not healthy and varied. This is why the Department of Health recommends vitamin A, C and D supplements for all children from the ages of six months to five years.

  • Which suitable supplements do you stock?
  • Do you know which vitamins they contain and the correct dosage for children of different ages?
  • Do you stock supplements for young children which contain additional vitamins and minerals? Are you aware of the differences between all of the supplements?
  • Are you confident about the advice you give to parents about vitamins?
