Multivitamins with minerals: for children between 4 and 12 years
Never before have children lived in an age when so much is demanded of them. School, friends, sport, music and …. never have they been so active. It is sometimes hard to remember to actually grow. Especially during this period of life, they need the essential (= necessary for life) nutrients. Vitamins and minerals, which are contained particularly in those foods that are not always popular amongst this age group.
Child supplements are not sweets
Vitamins and minerals are very important for growth and the functioning of children. Therefore, always supplement their daily varied diet with a multi-food supplement. Tablets containing nothing other than vitamins and minerals, such as the Plantina Multi 3. And absolutely no other substances that make a child’s supplement seem like a sweet, such as sweeteners and other sweetening agents.
Other strong points of the Plantina Multi 3
The quality of a food supplement is to a large extent determined by the substances it does not contain. The Plantina Multi 3 for example contains no unnecessary substances and is vegetarian. All the strong points of the ‘adult multi’ also apply for the ‘junior’.
Packaging units 150 tablets.

In terms of strength, the Plantina Multi Junior is one-third the strength of the Plantina Multi. This tablet has been specially developed for children and people who suffer difficulty swallowing. Many of the characteristics of the Plantina Multi also apply for the Plantina Multi Junior. For details read the description with the Plantina Multi.
Growing children need minerals and vitamins. In addition, their dietary habits are not always ideal. It is therefore worth considering supplementing their diet with all vitamins and minerals.
The Plantina Multi Junior is deliberately not a pleasant sweet. The Plantina Multi Junior is there exclusively to deliver vitamins and minerals. This was the simple principle in its development. Nothing more and nothing less. No addition of sweet fruit flavours that anyway are generally insufficient to mask the bitter flavour of the vitamins. And no addition of many other sweetening agents ranging from sugar to sorbitol. The Plantina Multi Junior contains none of these
Children 0-1 years: Breastfeeding (as long as possible); no cow’s milk, eggs, meat, fish, grains (only from the 1st year) in connection with the development of possible allergies; plenty of vegetables and fruit; 1 teaspoon of cold-pressed oil per day. After breastfeeding: ½ Plantina Multi Junior ground through the baby food. With infections: vitamin C 100 mg x age in months; max. 1000 mg per day. Children 1-2 years: ½ to 1 Plantina Multi Junior + 2 x daily 100 mg vitamin C (mixed through food)
Children 2-3 years: ½ to 1 Plantina Multi Junior + 2 x daily 200 mg vitamin C Children 3 - 4 years: 1 Plantina Multi Junior + 3 x daily 200 mg vitamin C Children 4 - 5 years: 1 Plantina Multi Junior + 3 x daily 300 mg vitamin C Children from 6 - 12 years: 2 x daily Plantina Multi Junior + 3 x daily 400 mg vitamin C Children from approx. 12 years: Adult dosage - 1 Plantina multi + 3 x daily 1000 mg vitamin C.
No magnesium oxide!
Magnesium oxide (insoluble in water) is practically impossible to absorb via the gastrointestinal system. The Performax Multi contains the absorbable and therefore effective chelated form of magnesium, in a sufficiently high dosage!
Vitamin B6 as pyridoxal-5'-phosphate Various forms of vitamin B6 are available. Pyridoxal-5'-phosphate is biologically the most active.
This pyridoxal-5'-phosphate form has been chosen for the Performax Multi product (vitamin B6 is above all important for women, in combination with magnesium).
Vitamin E as d-alpha-tocopheryl succinate
There are numerous forms of vitamin E (tocopherol). The d-alpha-tocopheryl succinate is the most effective form of vitamin E. Because the vitamin E molecule is in compound with the succinate, the vitamin E is protected inside the tablet (i.e. before ingestion) against the oxygen in the air. Once the tablet has been swallowed, the vitamin E molecule is separated from the succinate, then releasing its full antioxidant effect.
Beta carotene: from the alga Dunaliella salina
Beta carotene from the alga Dunaliella salina not only contains the so-called 'all-trans' beta carotene, but also other forms. This mixture makes the action of beta-carotene far more effective. This form of beta-carotene is however more expensive.
Chromium as polynicotinate
In the Performax Multi product, chromium is combined with vitamin B3 (nicotinic acid). Both chromium and vitamin B3 are components of the glucose tolerance factor (GTF), the active form of chromium, which supports the working of insulin in the body.
Selenium as L-selenomethionine
The absorption and effect of selenium in the body depends heavily on the form in which this mineral is supplied. Selenium is combined with the amino acid methionin. This L-selenomethionine is the form best absorbed by the body.
Contains relatively little iron
The Performax Multi contains less iron because recent research has demonstrated that this mineral can play a role in free radical reactions. In addition, the absorption of iron in the body is more dependent on the presence of sufficient vitamin C and copper, than that actual availability of iron.
No Time Release (TR orSR)
Time release is unnecessary for vitamin preparations, because the majority of vitamins and minerals are absorbed almost entirely high up in the gastrointestinal system. As a result, in a TR preparation, the valuable nutrients leave the body, unused. In addition, the TR process is unnecessarily costly.
