Children's Nutritional Needs Are Different A child's nutritional needs differ dramatically from those of a full-grown adult. Beginning at the moment of birth, the internal environment of a child’s body is in a constant state of growth and change. Vitamins are assisting to convert food into energy. Minerals are forming strong bones and teeth. Enzymes are working to break down protein, fat and carbohydrate into amino acids, essential fatty acids and simple sugars. Friendly flora are beginning to establish a healthy intestinal environment.

Enzymes do far more than help us to digest food. More than 3,000 different enzymes control every function of the human body. In fact, the body's ability to maintain health and function properly is directly related to the number and strength of its enzymes. Unfortunately, our diets do not provide all of the enzymes we need. Our own enzyme production slows as we grow older -approximately 13% for every decade after age 20. This can lead to a sluggish metabolism, low energy, and inefficient digestion and utilization of foods.
