Chewable Vitamins
Life Time Fitness, Inc. said that it is launching a children's multivitamin that delivers readily absorbable vitamins and minerals to support healthy growth, development and metabolism in children ages two and older.
According to the Company, the Life Time Fitness Growing Healthy Multivitamin was specially formulated for Life Time by the team at Integrative Health Resources, Inc., headed by James B. LaValle, Clinical Pharmacist, Naturopathic Doctor and Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist. Named 'Clinician of the Year for 2011' by the Natural Product Industry, LaValle has extensive experience in creating proven and effective formulations.
"Vitamins and minerals are essential to a child's health," says LaValle. "Since our bodies cannot produce these elements on their own, I formulated the Life Time children's multivitamins with just the right amount of nutrients, so a child's body can grow and function properly. Plus, the chewable formula makes the vitamin- taking process more enjoyable for kids."
Children commonly experience deficiencies in iodine, magnesium and vitamins C, A, D and B12, which can contribute to allergy and asthma development, weight gain and obesity, an increase in colds or flues, behavioral problems and poor bone health.
Lacking the typical solution of sugar, high-fructose corn syrup or artificial additives that are associated with headaches, concentration difficulties, immune imbalances, weight gain and blood sugar imbalances6, 7 the Life Time Fitness Growing Healthy Kids Multivitamin incorporates a blend of stevia (a natural herb), xylitol (found in berries, fruit, vegetables and mushrooms9) and Lo Han fruit (native to southern China).
"With so many of our nation's children experiencing serious nutrient deficiencies, it is imperative that they have a complete, absorbable, healthy multivitamin," said Tom Nikkola, director of nutrition and weight management at Life Time Fitness.10 "Our Growing Healthy Multivitamin tastes great, is packed with good nutrients and free of additives or artificial sweeteners."
