Young children require 13 vitamins and at least 16 minerals to keep their bodies working properly.  What exactly do those vitamins and minerals do?

Vitamins are required for the body’s metabolic processes. They play a critical role in the building of red blood cells, development and maintenance of body tissues, and enabling the body to function and grow properly.  Minerals are also crucial components for starting the reactions of hundreds of body functions.  Although the body only needs small amounts, a steady dietary supply of vitamins and minerals is critical to proper body function.  In fact, some "water soluble" vitamins need to be supplied daily because the body can’t store them.

Unfortunately, young children are at risk of inadequate intake of several important nutrients.  Studies throughout the world have shown that children often consume vitamins and minerals in less than recommended amounts.  Even in developed countries, dietary surveys show that children under age 5 often have inadequate intakes of iron and calcium.
