Multi-Vitamin & Mineral

ChildLife?s liquid Multi-Vitamin & Mineral formula provides the optimal dosage of all the essential vitamins and minerals with trace elements for children of all ages. The great taste makes taking supplements an easy part of a child?s daily routine.

The spectrum of essential nutrients supports healthy development, strong immune function,* emotional and mental vitality.* Research shows that one of the fundamental reasons for the decline in children?s health and immunity is the decline in the nutritional content and value of their diet. Supplementing a child?s diet is the wisest way to ensure that all nutritional needs are fulfilled

The first and only complete liquid nutritional program formulated specifically for infants & children, by Homeopathic Pediatrician Dr. Murray Clarke. Today?s children face unprecedented challenges from two very important areas. On one hand, the nutritional value of the food we eat decreases as the nutritional content of the soil is depleted through time and modern farming methods. On the other hand, the rapid increase in environmental pollution and toxic burden creates an increased need for these nutrients, the vitamins and minerals that protect, nourish and sustain a child's natural, healthy development. Eat right and support your child?s development with ChildLife formulas.
