Honesty, Integrity, Evidence-Based. Always.

We wouldn't trust just any advice for our babies, and neither should you! Our clinical team makes it a priority to stay up-to-date on the latest pediatric guidelines and best practices, in order to provide high quality, evidence-based recommendations to help your little one thrive

Vitamin D is essential for bone growth and bone remodeling and is proven to help reduce fractures later in life. It also helps the body to absorb calcium, which together with phosphorus, makes up a substance in our bodies called hydroxyapatite, which is the main structural component of bones and tooth enamel. Magnesium, Iodine, Manganese, and Vitamin K are also important nutrients for bone health.

Bones

Vitamin C is necessary for the development of collagen, which is one of the important components in healing after a cut or wound. Studies show that supplementing with vitamin C (and zinc) can shorten the time it takes for wound healing. The B vitamins are important in skin health. They work as coenzymes in many important body reactions.

Skin

Pantothenic acid (B5) ** is a B vitamin that is important in many reactions as a coenzyme. Some research shows that supplementing with pantothenic acid may help improve sleep in adults. Magnesium ** is an essential mineral that aids in over 300 critical reactions in your body. Some research has shown that magnesium supplementation in older adults has improved insomnia.

Sleep

Sodium, along with potassium and chloride are essential for staying properly hydrated, as they help carry water to your cells. Sodium is lost with sweat, so it’s important to replenish regularly.

Hydration

Vitamin D helps increase energy levels by aiding in glucose metabolism, or the reaction that turns sugars into usable energy for our cells. The B vitamins are essential for producing energy by working as cofactors, or helpers, in the reactions that break down food to be converted to energy. Iodine, Magnesium, Manganese, and Zinc also work as cofactors and are crucial for healthy metabolism.

Metabolism

Vitamin C is essential for immune function by aiding in the removal of dead cells from sites of infection.  Vitamin D  also boosts your immune system by reducing inflammation. Zinc  and Vitamin E both support the development of specific immune response cells, while Copper and vitamin A play important roles in helping to maintain cells needed for healthy immune responses.

Immunity

Magnesium is linked to decreased risk of kidney stone formation because it works opposite of calcium, while Potassium is important for calcium reabsorption within the kidney. Reabsorption is essential for the kidneys to remove waste and toxins from the blood, which is crucial for preventing kidney stones. Vitamin B6 also may be important in normal kidney function.

Kidney

Choline is involved in early brain development, making it an incredibly important micronutrient for infants and toddlers. Research has shown that choline plays a particularly important role in memory. Vitamin C and Vitamin E act as vital antioxidants in the brain. Iron, Folate, Selenium, vitamin B12, and Omega-3 fatty acids are all critical for normal brain and nervous system development

Brain

Vitamin A is an essential component of rhodopsin, a protein that absorbs light in your eyes and allows for functioning of the conjunctival membrane and cornea, Vitamin C is associated with decreased risk of developing cataracts (cloudy eyes that cause blurry vision), and when taken with other essential nutrients in a well-balanced diet, may slow the progression of aged-related vision loss. Zinc is important for bringing vitamin A from the liver to the retina. Inadequate zinc intake has been linked to impaired vision, poor night vision, and cloudy cataracts. Vitamin E’s antioxidant function has also been shown to be beneficial for vision.

Vision

B vitamins play an important role as coenzymes in many critical reactions that contribute to normal growth and development. More specifically, Folate is especially important in the development of the neural tube. Folate deficiency during pregnancy can lead to neural tube defects in infants. Choline, copper, Iodine, Iron, Vitamin C, and Vitamin A all play crucial roles in the growth and development of body tissues, internal organs, collagen, etc. Vitamin D and phosphorus are both critical for healthy bone growth.  Finally, Zinc has been found to play an important role in protein synthesis and cell division which makes it crucial  during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence for normal growth and development.
