"Vitrum Kids" is a fairly well-known multivitamin complex, which is intended for children from 4 to 7 years old. Each tablet contains all the necessary elements to compensate for the imbalance and normal functioning of the whole organism.
Growth trio
Vitamins "Vitrum Kids" are designed specifically for preschool children who need vitamins and minerals more than ever. After all, it is during this period that parents try to send their child to various sports sections, where a lot of strength is required.

Calcium for baby

Depending on age, a child needs 600 to 1500 mg of calcium per day. The daily dosage is just contained in one vitamin.

Another important component, without which the above calcium will not be properly absorbed, is magnesium. It is necessary not only for calcium to be absorbed, but also for bones to be elastic and strong and able to withstand an acceptable physical load.
In addition, magnesium gives the child's nervous system stability, helps to reduce excitability and tearfulness.
Phosphorus
Phosphorus is involved in the accumulation and transfer of energy from each cell. That is why it is so important not to forget to consume the required amount of this element per day. In addition, phosphorus, together with calcium, makes the bone strong, one might say, “cementing it.”
