When is a Multivitamin NOT a Multivitamin?

Therefore the intestinal lining is more permeable to potentially harmful contents of the small intestine in infants and young children.

Vital then to consider the quality of any nutritional supplements given to this age group. Some of the astonishing ingredients found in multivitamins include, aspartame, saccharin, sodium laurel sulfate, artificial colours and flavours, fillers, and preservatives!! How on earth they fit the vitamins and minerals in is hard to imagine! No wonder there is often little or no clinical improvement when cheap supermarket and generic brands are used. Always check the label of all supplements, and if in doubt call the manufactuer…or ask me!
