Nutritional supplements play a vital role in the development and growth of children. They provide important ingredients for the normal development of mind and body and also provide a defense against diseases. One of the best products in this category is Usanimals from Usana Health Sciences.

Most of the skills required in adulthood are learnt during the first 12 years. This includes simple activities like walking and running and complex ones like playing a sport or a musical instrument. The child also learns to speak, read, write and communicate with gestures. All this is a result of an increased coordination of brain and body.

Young children display a tremendous amount of energy. They can play and jump around through the day without any sign of tiredness. Obviously, children in this age range of 1-12 years need a lot more energy as compared to an adult of 20-25 years. Along with energy, they also need a vital supply of nutrients.

Unfortunately, a high percentage of the world's child population is bereft of adequate sustenance. As a result many suffer from physical and mental disorders caused due to malnutrition. This is because they do not receive the required quantity of nutrients from their diets. Key substances like calcium, vitamin B6, zinc and magnesium are not present in the diets of almost half the children in this age group. Even in advanced countries, children get used to fast food like french fries and burgers with a lot of cheese, which is nutritionally inferior to fresh vegetables and fruits.

Marketed by Usana Health Sciences, Usanimals are supplements that take care of the kids' daily requirements of essential nutrients. They contain large doses of vitamin C and vitamin E, which are required most by children below 12 years. Usanimals are derived from the family of Usana Essentials and are specifically designed for kids in this age-group.

Usanimals come in the form of easy-to-eat chewable tablets with a wild berry flavor. The flavor is due to the presence of blended fruit powders of raspberry, cranberry, blackberry and wild blueberry. Children find this flavor quite tasty. They also love the funny animal shapes of the tablets. Parents prefer Usanimals because they do not contain sugar but only a natural sweetener.

Usana products have been consistently rated No.1 in studies that compared hundreds of nutritional products in Unites States and Canada. They are the most effective and safest nutritional supplements for young and growing children.
