Children's vitamin profile

    At present, the problem ofmalnutrition among children worldwide is still widespread, and childmalnutrition is often accompanied by a deficiency and deficiency of multiplevitamins.According to the data of children's health checkups in Longhua Districtof Shenzhen in 2016, the adequacy ratio of vitamin D in 3319 children was only41.40%, and the deficiency rate was as high as 29.62%.According to 1875 children's health check-up data in Shanghai, 59.2% ofchildren lack vitamin C, 36.48% of children lack vitamin A, and 28.32% lackvitamin B2.In addition, some studies have shown that 26% of children with serumvitamin B1 deficiency in our country, vitamin D deficiency status is notoptimistic, whether it is dietary intake or serum levels, the prevalence ofvitamin D deficiency, the rate of up to 61.5%.

Vitamin imbalance

    The imbalance of vitamin levels can have adverseeffects on children's growth and development, especially intelligence, bones,immunity and metabolism.

Skeletal development

   Vitamins play a key role in the regulationof bone development and bone metabolism. Vitamins A and D play an importantrole in children's growth and development and bone development.Vitamin A isessential for normal bone growth and development, and vitamin A deficiency canresult in low bone calcium levels.Vitamin D promotes the absorption ofcalcium and phosphorus in the intestinal wall and the precipitation in thebone. The deficiency of vitamin D will reduce the absorption of calcium andphosphorus in the intestine, and eventually interfere with the ossificationprocess, which is the basic cause of nutritional deficiency rickets.

Immune Function

  Vitamin levels can affect children's immunesystem function, and imbalances in vitamin levels can lead to reduced immunityand increased morbidity and mortality.When the vitamin A subclinical deficiencystate, the body's barrier resistance to pathogenic microorganisms may bereduced, causing acute infection, and infectious diseases also increase theconsumption of vitamin A stored in the liver.Vitamin D deficiency is positivelyassociated with the incidence of infectious diseases. Studies have shown thatchildren with vitamin D deficiency rickets and respiratory infections have lowcellular immune function.

Intellectual development

  Vitamins play an important role in thedevelopment of brain cells and intelligence in children. Vitamins B1, B3, B6,B12, folic acid, vitamins A, C, and D are closely related to children'sintellectual development.Pellagra caused by vitamin B3 deficiency can causecognitive impairment and even dementia.Many other B vitamins, especially B1, B6,B12 and folic acid, are essential for the synthesis of neurotransmitters, andthe lack of can affect children's mental development and a variety ofneurological symptoms.Vitamin A can promote brain development, and long-termintake of vitamin A in children can lead to mental retardation. Vitamin C canaffect the activity of several hydroxylases involved in the metabolism ofneurotransmitters. It can also play a neuromodulate role by changing thetransport and localization of the carrier in the cell membrane, and is anessential nutrient for improving brain function.

Metabolic syndrome

    The survey showed that serum vitamin D levels inchildren with simple obesity gradually decreased with the increase of obesity,while children with hypertension,diabetes, dyslipidemia and other levelswere closely related to the imbalance of multivitamin levels.

How to properly add vitamins

Multivitamin supplementation is importantfor children's growth and development and immunity, but how much? How to makeup? Does it make up for it? Will it be poisoned if you make up more?

Therefore, accurate detection of vitamin levels inchildren's body is a prerequisite for scientific supplements. Parents shouldpay full attention to vitamin levels in children, and provide a reasonablesupplement for children's vitamin deficiency, combined with children'srecommended intake of vitamins, to protect children's healthy growth.

Yingsheng Bio is based on tandem mass spectrometrytechnology to launch Yingsheng® 14 vitamin testing kits, which can accuratelydetect the full spectrum of vitamins required for children's growth anddevelopment, comprehensively grasp the vitamin levels in children, and provide a reliablebasis for the rational supplement of vitamins.
