Growing 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 and Social Care recommends vitamin A, C and D supplements for all children from the ages of six months to five years. 

Consider the following:

• 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?
