Help Your Kids Get the Most Out of Their Eye Vitamin
Posted by EyePromise on Jan 10th 2019
Here are 4 tips on for helping your child get the most out of their eye vitamin every day! Giving eye vitamins to your child every day to improve and protect their eye health is a big commitment. These tips will help them get the most out of them.
- Give them the full dose. As a rule of thumb, it’s best to give your child the full recommended dose. It’s tempting to give them half a dose to make the product last longer, but you’re risking them only getting half the guaranteed benefits of the eye vitamin.
- Children can take EyePromise® Screen Shield™ Teen with a multi-vitamin. EyePromise eye vitamins (except AREDS 2 Plus with Multi-Vitamin) are designed to be taken with a multi-vitamin. So, if your child takes a multi-vitamin, don’t worry about them doubling up on nutrients.
- Children should take them with a meal. Most vitamins come in two forms: water-soluble and fat-soluble. Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water and are then absorbed by the body. Fat-soluble vitamins dissolve and are stored in fat and are absorbed best by the body with food. EyePromise eye vitamins are fat-soluble, so be sure they're taken with a meal. Taking eye vitamins with a meal also helps avoid an upset stomach.
- Store in an appropriate place. Store at room temperature: 50º-77º F (15º-25º C). Do not expose to excessive heat.
