Why Kids Can—and Should—Supplement Too

As parents, grandparents, and caregivers, we all want the best for our kids—especially when it comes to their health. Growing bodies and developing brains require a strong nutritional foundation to thrive physically, mentally, and emotionally. Even the best diets can sometimes fall short due to busy schedules, picky eaters, or nutrient-depleted foods. That’s where high-quality supplements come in—not to replace whole foods but to support healthy growth and development. 

Starting supplementation early helps build long-term wellness. Supporting your child’s immune system, metabolism, and overall development now can lead to better focus, fewer sick days, and stronger lifelong habits. At Optimal, we offer three carefully formulated, kid-specific supplements made with science-backed ingredients and kid-friendly delivery methods. 

Our Supplement Lineup for Kids 

Optimal Kids Multivitamin

A chewable, orange-flavored tablet designed to fill nutritional gaps and support healthy growth, immune strength, and cognitive development. It features Albion® chelated minerals for superior absorption and covers a broad spectrum of essential nutrients.

Suggested use: 1 tablet daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. 

Imu-Stim Kids

A chewable tablet that supports immune health with zinc, vitamins C and A, elderberry, and astragalus root. Ideal for helping kids maintain strong defenses during cold and flu season or anytime immune support is needed.

Suggested use: 2 tablets daily, or as recommended. 

Histacalm Junior – Seasonal Formula

A chewable tablet designed to promote healthy histamine balance and clear airways during seasonal allergies. Contains quercetin, bromelain, stinging nettles, NAC, and vitamin C.

Suggested use: 1 tablet as needed or per healthcare provider’s guidance. 

Supplement Safety for Kids 

While these make up our main lineup of child-focused supplements, many of our adult-targeted supplements can also be safe and effective for kids—often at a smaller, age-appropriate dosage. For example, our Liposomal Methyl Boost Spray is an easy-to-use spray that many parents find helpful for kids who prefer a quick, convenient delivery method. 

In any case, always consult with your healthcare provider before introducing new supplements to ensure the dosage and product are right for your child’s unique needs. 

Investing in Your Child’s Health Starts Now 

The earlier we lay a solid foundation for health, the stronger and more resilient our kids become. Whether you’re a parent managing daily routines or a grandparent supporting the little ones in your life, these supplements provide safe, convenient ways to nurture wellness from the inside out. 

Explore our full range of supplements at optimalforlife.com or reach out to your healthcare provider to discuss which formulas best suit your child’s health journey. Because kids deserve optimal health, too.
