Healthy Start Vitamins

In the UK all children up to 5 are recommended to take a supplement of vitamin A, C and D (once they are no longer drinking 500ml or more of infant formula a day). Supplements are particularly important if your child has a very restricted diet.

If you are on benefits you may qualify for Healthy Start. This gives you free vitamins and free weekly vouchers which you can spend on milk, fruit and vegetables. 

If you don’t qualify you can buy vitamin supplements for young children in supermarkets and pharmacies.
