How can we make sure our child is getting enough iron?
(TE): So this isn't publicized much because we prepare most of our meats in an unhealthy way. Humans absorb iron best from red meats like beef or organ meats like liver. But if that is not a diet choice for your family, green leafy veggies like spinach, quinoa, legumes are fine. Shellfish are also a good source. These are foods not all kids like, so if needed and your doctor approves, an iron supplement should do the trick. Iron supplements tend to cause tummy troubles but Renzo's iron is gentle on the tummy and is combined with Vitamin C which supports iron absorption.

What are the best ways to increase your kid's appetite?
(TE) : You can do kids' drinks like Pediasure, Ensure, Boost, Carnation Instant Breakfast, or toddler formula to help kids with low appetite. Two of any of those supplements a day for 8 weeks stimulates appetite, I have to be doing that with my own child and it's working. The other option is medication - but that should be a last resort.
Picky eater tips?
(TE) : Just continue to offer a variety of foods, it's a phase! They need to see you eating healthy too, so make it a family affair. If their go-to meals are still only chicken nuggets and pizza, kids might benefit from a wholesome multivitamin like Renzo's Picky Eater Multi.
Immune system boosters?
(TE) : You want to make sure you are getting enough vitamin C and zinc. The best source is directly from food but they have kid's vitamin brands that make these, like the Multi here. Elderberry is also good for boosting the immune system naturally.
What's the difference between folic acid and methylfolate and which is the right type my kid needs?
(TE) : Folate is the natural form of vitamin B9 found in foods - such as lemons, spinach, and liver. Folic acid is a synthetic form of B9 - most commonly found in store-bought supplements and fortified foods. Methylated folic acid, or methylfolate, is the methylated form of synthetic folic acid and is recommended for individuals with the MTHFR gene mutation. Renzo's Multi here uses methylated folate which means it's safe for all kids!
What are the best supplements for ADD/ADHD?
(TE) : DHA has been found to help, you want to eat it performed. Good sources are fatty fish like salmon, you also get a small amount from eggs, but not that much. It's actually the algae in their food chain that produce the DHA not the fish directly, so if you're thinking vegan you would have to do the over the counter vitamins which I think get it from the algae directly but you'd have to check with the manufacturer.
