Children's Health & Nutrition – How Dietary Supplements Can Help Children
Health is the foundation for growth, development, and long-term well-being—especially during childhood. The need for certain nutrients is particularly high during the first years of life and during periods of rapid growth. At the same time, everyday life shows that maintaining a balanced diet isn’t always consistent—whether due to one-sided eating habits, periods of low appetite, or special demands such as school, sports, or growth spurts.
In this context, food supplements are increasingly coming into focus. They can help to specifically supplement daily nutrient intake. It is crucial that vitamins and other micronutrients are dosed appropriately for the child’s age and tailored to their specific needs.
A thoughtful combination of a varied diet and sensible supplementation can support normal physical and mental development. The focus here is not on replacing a healthy diet, but on providing supplementation tailored to the child’s individual needs.

Children's Vitamins – The Foundation for Healthy Development
An adequate supply of micronutrients is especially important during childhood, as growth, cell division, and the development of organs and the nervous system depend on a continuous supply. Vitamins and minerals play key roles in the body. Food
supplements for children can help effectively supplement daily intake. Vitamin D3, for example, is particularly important when combined with vitamins A and K2, as found in Pro Vitamin D3 Öl 100 kids. Vitamin D contributes to the healthy functioning of the immune system and to the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. Vitamin A supports the immune system, and vitamin K2 is essential for maintaining healthy bones and teeth.
For a more comprehensive nutritional profile, products containing a combination of vitamins, trace elements, and selected plant-based and natural substances—specifically tailored to children’s needs—can be used, such as Pro Dialvit kids for children between the ages of 7 and 12.
Children's health begins in the gut
The gut has a major impact on children’s health. The gut microbiome—a complex system of billions of microorganisms involved in digestion, barrier function, and regulation of the immune system—begins to develop as early as infancy. A balanced gut microbiome can support the natural development of a child’s body.
In children, the gut is particularly sensitive to changes. Factors such as diet, stress, antibiotics, or infections can affect the balance of gut bacteria and, above all, impact digestion and the immune system. Targeted support for the gut flora can help stabilize the microbial balance. Probiotic food supplements for children provide selected bacterial strains. Pro Biom kids was developed specifically for infants and children and contains Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis.
Supporting Children's Health Holistically
Children’s health results from the interplay of various factors. Growth and development during childhood are dynamic processes in which the body continuously builds new structures. An adequate supply of micronutrients forms an important foundation for supporting these processes.
The gut and the immune system are particularly closely linked. A large part of immune activity takes place in the gut, which is why a balanced gut microbiota can contribute to the stability of the body’s own defenses. At the same time, daily nutrient intake influences how well these systems work together.
Products containing vitamins, minerals, and selected bacterial strains can be used in combination to support both nutrient supply and the balance of the gut flora, thereby promoting holistic development:
- Pro Dialvit kids for basic supplementation with vitamins, minerals, plant-based, and natural substances
- Pro Vitamin D3 Öl 100 kids for targeted supplementation with vitamins D3, A, and K2
- Pro Biom kids to supply the gut with selected bacterial strains—these products can be effectively combined and help support children’s health holistically.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Depending on the nutrient, dietary supplements for children can be beneficial starting as early as infancy. Well-known examples include selected bacterial strains, such as those in Pro Biom kids, or a combination of vitamins D3, A, and K2 (Pro Vitamin D3 Öl 100 kids), which can be supplemented starting in the first days of life. Other micronutrients or combinations of vitamins, trace elements, plant-based substances, and natural compounds—such as those found in Pro Dialvit kids —are generally introduced later. This depends on the child’s diet, stage of development, and individual needs. It is important that the products are dosed appropriately for the child’s age.
Vitamin D supports, for example, the normal development of bones and teeth, as well as the function of the immune system. Since the body produces vitamin D primarily through exposure to sunlight—and this production is often insufficient in our latitudes—supplemental intake is frequently advisable during childhood. Ideally, it should be taken in combination with vitamins A and K2, since vitamin A also supports the immune system and vitamin K2 helps maintain healthy bones and teeth.
For newborns, vitamin D is generally recommended from the very beginning, as the body’s own production is not yet sufficient. Supplementation is usually given in a standardized dosage and should ideally be done in consultation with pediatricians to ensure an adequate supply based on the child’s needs. It makes sense to combine vitamin D3 with vitamins A and K2, as in Pro Vitamin D3 Öl 100 kids. Vitamin K2 helps maintain healthy bones and teeth, while vitamin A supports the immune system.
A probiotic supplies the microbiome and the gut with selected strains of bacteria. Antibiotic use, cesarean deliveries, and gastrointestinal infections can throw the gut flora out of balance. This is often accompanied by an increased susceptibility to infections and digestive problems.
Gas in babies is common and can have various causes, such as an immature digestive system or swallowing too much air while feeding. An adjusted diet and gentle tummy massage can be helpful in such cases. Pro Biom kids can also help support the supply of selected gut bacteria.
It is generally possible to combine these products, as they each focus on different areas: Pro Dialvit kids for the basic supply of certain vitamins, trace elements, and polyphenols; Pro Vitamin D3 Öl 100 kids for targeted supplementation of vitamins D3, A, and K2; and Pro Biom kids for supportive supplementation with selected bacterial strains. However, as with all dietary supplements, use should be tailored to the individual.
