During your child’s growth and development, their genes need nutritional support for numerous important pathways.

One extremely important pathway is called methylation.

Methylation encourages healthy:

• growth
• mood
• heart development
• brain development
• histamine levels
• detoxification of arsenic and mercury

Special forms of folate and B12 are required for methylation to occur.^†

Kid’s Multivitamin Chewable contains methylcobalamin and L-methylfolate (also known as L-5-MTHF) which support the methylation pathway.^†

It is estimated that over 50% of the population has a mutation in their MTHFR gene. The MTHFR gene produces the body’s most active form of folate called L-methylfolate (L-5-MTHF).

MTHFR genetic mutations, vitamin B2 deficiencies and synthetic folic acid, dirty this gene down thereby causing folate deficiency.

Supplementing with the natural form of folate as L-methylfolate (L-5-MTHF) bypasses the problematic MTHFR gene. This supports methylation by allowing folate to flow into the methylation pathway via the MTR enzyme.^†

Ironically, the synthetic form of folate (folic acid) can further slow the MTHFR gene. This can even lead to folate deficiency! You’ll never see folic acid in any of Seeking Health’s dietary supplements. Instead, we prioritize natural and bioavailable forms of folate. These include 5-MTHF (methylated) and methyl-free folinic acid (calcium folinate).^†

Key features of Kid’s Multivitamin Chewable:^†

• Growth & Development is supported with an ideal ratio of essential vitamins, minerals, and trace minerals. These synergistically support optimal development and function of the nervous system, brain, hormones, bones, muscles, and organs.
• Methylation support is provided by methylated folate known as L-methylfolate (L-5-MTHF) and methyl B12. Vitamin B2, known as riboflavin, also support the healthy functioning of the MTHFR gene. Vitamin B6 (as P-5-P) also supports healthy glutathione production which, in turn, supports methylation.
• Antioxidants support a healthy immune response. We include vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A, CoQ10, L-carnitine and zinc.
• Eye & Vision support from 2 forms of vitamin A and lutein, a yellow carotenoid from marigold flower. Supporting the eyes is particularly important with increased exposure to the irritating blue light emitted from screens.
• Healthy blood sugar & Insulin support is provided from chromium, zinc, CoQ10 and carnitine.
• Bone health support from the combination of vitamin D, vitamin K2 as MK7, boron.
• Chelated minerals support healthy absorption, and non-gut irritating, of minerals.
• Red blood cells and White blood cell support from iron, folate as folinic acid, B12 as methylcobalamin, vitamin A, copper and zinc.
• Immune support from vitamin A, C, D, E, zinc, selenium and the antioxidants.
