We have formulated our Bio Island kids range to be suitable from 0 months+, as some children may need additional nutrients to help fill nutritional gaps when dietary intake is inadequate. We have ensured that all nutrients from our products have an age appropriate dosage and that each dose falls within the recommended daily intake for these nutrients. Find out more about this below.
Each Bio Island product in our kids range contains different ‘active’ ingredients and at different levels, such as DHA, Calcium and Vitamin A & D. Active ingredients is what makes the product work and help the body's nutritional needs when there may be gaps and dietary intake is inadequate. The active ingredients in our product when combined fall within the recommended usage by authorities such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) in Australia.
For example the recommended usage from WHO and NHMRC for vitamin D is 5 µg per day for infants between 0 – 6 months old. Our milk calcium contains 2.5µg of vitamin D and our cod liver + fish oil contains 0.75µg of vitamin D, combined the total is 3.25µg for infants from 4 weeks – 6 months old. This may help your child to reach the recommended daily intake for nutrients they may be lacking. It is always important to remember that nutritional supplements should not replace a balanced diet.
