Omega 3 helps to support the learning and development needs of growing children. It's a great source of brain food, improving levels of concentration and also promotes healthy eye development.

What is the best time of day to take Fitvits?

Fitvits have made life a little easier for both children and parents by packing Fitvits in small daily sachets containing the recommended daily allowance so that they can eat after breakfast or lunch. Please note that you should never take supplements on an empty stomach as they will quickly pass out in your urine before your body can benefit from the goodness.

Are Fitvits tested on animals?

Why are Fitvits nutritional supplements beneficial for children?

Fitvits are nutritionally beneficial as they provide children with the recommended daily allowance of vitamins and supplements required for healthy growth and development. Children's diets can sometimes be very low in, or even lack certain vital nutrients such as Vitamin A or Vitamin D it can also be difficult to get children to eat the recommended 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day so they may not be getting the nutritional goodness their bodies need. Lack of vitamins and nutrition in a child's diet could effect their ability to learn as the brain and body are starving for good nutrition. Fitvits will provide support with a boost of healthy vitamins and Omega 3 goodness, but remember that taking Fitvits is not a cure-all for an unhealthy diet so be sure to combine the supplements with a healthy and nutritious balanced diet.
