Considering the modern living conditions of children in Ukraine (chronic stress, unbalanced nutrition, prolonged stays in bomb shelters, increased screen time due to remote learning), the question arises regarding the necessity to enhance the natural adaptive capabilities of the body by adding dietary supplements to the diet to improve the health of the country's child population.
Aim - to present the dietary supplement «Cardonate Kiddy» as an example of a combined metabolic drug for children from 3 years old.
The dietary supplement «Cardonate Kiddy» can be used as an additional source of amino acids carnitine, lysine and cysteine in combination with B vitamins and minerals: zinc, iodine, selenium in order to increase the adaptive capabilities and general reactivity of the body, to maintain the normal functioning of the cardiovascular and nervous systems, normal cognitive function of the brain, increase endurance under increased physical and psycho-emotional stress, during the period of convalescence after illnesses, asthenic conditions of various origins, poor appetite, underweight, to reduce fatigue and fatigue, protect the cell from oxidative stress.
The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration.
No conflict of interest was declared by the author.
