In particular, it has a high content of vitamin B12, beta-carotene and iron. However, it does not contain vitamin C \u2014 that is one of its few shortcomings.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>It is important to choose spirulina carefully when deciding to give it to your child. It must be 100% natural and must not contain any preservatives or colourings. Quality spirulina will guarantee the <a href=\"https:\/\/spiruline-valais.ch\/en\/benefits\/\">benefits<\/a> listed below. You will find more information about the <a href=\"https:\/\/spiruline-valais.ch\/en\/production\/\">production<\/a> of our spirulina on <a href=\"https:\/\/spiruline-valais.ch\/en\/\">www.spiruline-valais.ch<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Spirulina for babies<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>There is no minimum age for giving spirulina to your child. They can consume it from the very first months of life. Of course, nothing can replace the breast milk or formula they need, but it can be worthwhile to give your baby 1g of spirulina per day as a supplement, for various reasons:<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fruit and vegetables have never been so poor in terms of nutritional value, so spirulina is an excellent supplement alongside baby&#8217;s first pur\u00e9es.<\/li>\n<li>Vitamin D is essential for the bone development of infants and their immune system. As they cannot be exposed to the sun, babies often lack it and are therefore sometimes given supplements. Spirulina then provides a daily intake of natural vitamin D.<\/li>\n<li>It is not uncommon for babies to suffer from skin irritations: eczema, psoriasis, spots, etc. Thanks to zinc, vitamin A and selenium, spirulina helps to take care of baby&#8217;s skin. What&#8217;s more, dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), a lipid present in breast milk, is also found in spirulina. This is good news for mothers who do not breastfeed, because it acts directly on the quality of the infant&#8217;s skin, and it would therefore be a shame for the baby not to be able to benefit from it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Spirulina for children and teenagers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Nutrition during childhood and adolescence shapes development and health into adulthood. Eating habits die hard, so it&#8217;s best to adopt an optimal approach from a young age. However, opting for a varied and diversified diet is not always easy with a child who asserts their character and tastes a little more each day. Spirulina can then be a good ally to make up for or prevent deficiencies.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>But it is also recommended for children and teenagers to:<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Boost intellectual performance<\/li>\n<li>Strengthen memory and concentration<\/li>\n<li>Boost the immune system<\/li>\n<li>Support growth<\/li>\n<li>Fight fatigue<\/li>\n<li>Manage stress<\/li>\n<li>Make up for deficiencies caused by a neglected diet and a questionable lifestyle (welcome to adolescence!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>You see, we told you that spirulina was beneficial for the whole family!
