Giving vitamins especially vitamin C to our kids is really
important especially nowadays since weather changes from time to time. With
that, varieties of diseases are everywhere which possibly our kids can get.
Thus, letting them take vitamins everyday will help them boost their immune
system and so keep their selves from harmful sickness such as colds and coughs.
As a mom, I always make sure to keep my kids from getting
sick… thence, I always manage to keep them healthy and safe all the time. One
of the things I am afraid of is that they might admitted to hospital due to the
cough and colds they have especially to my eldest, Kuya G, who happens to be so
picky kiddo at the same time loves to play everywhere even at the dirtiest
place ever in our apartment.
With that, giving him vitamins such as vitamin C, iron and
multivitamins, I know that he’s far away from getting sick. Yet, sometimes you
just can’t tell time… Even I give him those; there are times that he gets cough
and colds often since he refuses to take vitamin
C which is very important for him.
What is Vitamin C?
“Vitamin C or L-ascorbic acid, or simply ascorbate (the
anion of ascorbic acid), is an essential nutrient for humans and certain other
animal species. Vitamin C refers to a number of vitamers that have vitamin C
activity in animals, including ascorbic acid and its salts, and some oxidized
forms of the molecule like dehydroascorbic acid. Ascorbate and ascorbic acid
are both naturally present in the body when either of these is introduced into
cells, since the forms interconvert according to pH.” Courtesy of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_C
“Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning that your
body doesn't store it. We have to get what we need from food, including citrus fruits,
broccoli, and tomatoes.
You need vitamin C for
the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body. It helps the body
make collagen, an important protein used to make skin, cartilage, tendons,
ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is needed for healing wounds, and for
repairing and maintaining bones and teeth.
Vitamin C is an
antioxidant, along with vitamin E, beta-carotene, and many other plant-based
nutrients. Antioxidants block some of the damage caused by free radicals,
substances that damage DNA. The build-up of free radicals over time may
contribute to the aging process and the development of health conditions such
as cancer, heart disease, and arthritis.” Source: http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/vitamin-c-000339.htm.
I am giving him Ceelin
syrup ever since when he was a baby (I
gave him drops before when he was 0-6 mos.). He’s okay with it until he
turned 1 year old until now. I am having hard time for him to take vitamin C
which had been my one of my problems in terms of his health. He often gets
cough and colds because of refusing in taking it. I don’t know what alternative
to give him until I discover that he’s getting my vitamin C in the fridge
without letting me know. (Not to mention my vitamin C) I then found the
solution of my problem. He’s taking vitamin C same as mine.
I am worried that it may not good for him but according to
my sister it’s okay because vitamin C is not harmful to neither make problems
with age too. But it would still be nicer if I could give him vitamin C that
suits his age. There, I was given a chance to take a sample of the newest
product of
Unilab-
VitaPops!
At first, I thought it was just a simple vitamin such as
ceelin chewable but boy, I was wrong! It’s something different. Something that
pops! Oh yeah, to give you a hint from the word itself that makes it unique.
