We all need fiber in our diets and children are no exception. Foods rich in fiber are filling, therefore high fiber foods discourage overeating. Fiber also helps to pass food through the digestive system and may protect against stomach and colon cancer as well as prevent constipation. Fiber also helps to lower LDL cholesterol, or in a child’s sake, help prevent high cholesterol as well as preventing diabetes and heart disease.
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends 19 grams of fiber for 2-3 year olds, 25 grams of fiber for 4-8 year olds and 26-31grams for 9-11 year olds. As parents, we understand the importance of a high fiber diet, but you won’t hear your child begging for more fiber. Your child may eat fiber-rich foods, but he or she may not be consuming enough fiber. I know my son loves beans, but it can still be difficult to meet the daily recommended intake.
Pedia- Lax Fiber Gummies are a great-tasting way to supplement your child’s daily fiber intake when fruits and veggies aren’t enough. Your child can get the same fiber in just 3 gummies as they would in 1/2 cup of broccoli. Besides being packed full of fiber, these gummies are gluten-free, sugar-free, calorie-free and are made with all natural fruit flavors.
These fiber gummies are kid-friendly penguin-shaped and easy to chew. I had no problems getting my two-year old to take Pedia-Lax Fiber Gummies. In fact, he loved them so much he kept asking for more. Of course, mom had to try one as well. They taste just like fruit gummies- there is no medicine taste and no after taste. They did a wonderful job of regulating my sons bowel movements without making them runny. In addition, I feel confident giving Pedia-Lax Fiber Gummies to my son because they are not medicine, not a laxative, just wholesome, healthy fiber. PediaLax Fiber Gummies are dentist approved and now, mom approved!
