Poor eating habits start early —25% of infants and toddlers ages 9 to 24 months do not eat any fruit or vegetables!
Most vitamins and minerals are not stored in the body so they need to be supplied daily; without a steady supply, infants and toddlers cannot achieve optimal growth and development
Public health experts are concerned about adequate vitamin D intake, and the American Academy of Pediatrics recently doubled its recommended daily intake for infants

DHA is an essential omega-3 fatty acid that affects early brain and eye development
A recent published study showed that children ages 4 – 12 taking 100 mg of DHA per day were able to increase their levels of DHA by 65% – 70%
Studies show that many kids do not get enough of this important nutrient
Foods high in DHA—such as sardines, tuna, and organ meats such as liver—are not kids’ favorites
Eating large amounts of fish can lead to unhealthy exposure to mercury and other environmental toxins, which can be especially harmful to children
