Healthy Start Vitamins

Vitamins will help your child grow up strong and healthy.

We can get lots of vitamins from a healthy balanced diet, but sometimes small children, pregnant women and new mums may not get everything they need. At these times it’s especially important to take specific vitamins.

Healthy Start vitamins include vitamin D, which helps to keep bones and muscles strong and healthy, as well as other important vitamins.

They are suitable for:

• Pregnant and breastfeeding women
• Babies (from birth for breastfed babies, or as soon as your baby is having less than 500ml of formula milk per day)
• Children up to 4 years old
