When you’re dealing with fussy eating, it’s natural to wonder whether your child is getting all the vitamins they need. Should you introduce a multivitamin, add extra nutrients to their food, or focus on what they eat?
At Raww & Bloom, we believe a varied, balanced diet should come first. Added vitamins can play a supporting role, but they should complement everyday food rather than replace it.
Food first: understanding children’s dietary requirements
Fruit, vegetables, whole grains, dairy or suitable fortified alternatives, and protein foods all help meet children’s dietary requirements. Together, they provide much more than vitamins, including fibre, energy and other essential nutrients.
Where does Strawberry Swirl fit in?
Raww & Bloom Strawberry Swirl is a natural fruit powder with added vitamins. The vitamins have been carefully selected with Vitamin C being one of the primary vitamins within the powder designed to mix into everyday foods such as yoghurt, porridge, smoothies or milk of your choice.
It offers a simple way to add strawberry flavour and selected vitamins alongside a balanced diet. For families navigating fussy eating, mixing it into familiar foods can make it easier to include those added nutrients.
Our low sugar, gluten-free powder can also add strawberry flavour to a simple snack, such as plain yoghurt, without relying on a long list of artificial additives.
Vitamins and immunity
Parents often ask about nutrition and immunity. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, as do specific B vitamins, including B6 and B12. Strawberry Swirl includes these vitamins as part of its recipe. Supporting normal immune function does not mean preventing illness: varied food, sleep and everyday healthy habits still matter.
Can children have too many vitamins?
Yes – more is not always better.
Age-appropriate multivitamins can be useful when needed, but excessive doses or combining several products can lead to too much of certain nutrients. This is why we only included 8 essential vitamins and focused on water soluble.
Always follow the serving instructions and age guidance. Check labels carefully before combining vitamin drops, gummies, multivitamins or powders.
Does heat affect added vitamins?
Heat can affect the vitamins and so a practical approach is to stir Strawberry Swirl into porridge after cooking, once it has cooled to a comfortable eating temperature, or enjoy it in cold foods and drinks. Avoid mixing it into boiling liquids to help preserve heat-sensitive vitamins.
