The standard Schuessler range of 12 single Tissue Salts and 22 combination formulas is then best for the teenage and adult years.

Why are KIDZ Minerals necessary for your child?

What is unique about the Kids Mineral range?

The KIDZ mineral range comprises six NEW formulas especially targeted to assist children in maintaining healthy bones and teeth, good appetite, healthy skin, calmness and immune strength. They are naturally strawberry flavoured and half the size of the standard Tissue Salt tablets.

Why are KIDZ Minerals based on Schuessler Tissue Salts?

Schuessler Tissue Salts are the physical basis of the body and help maintain balance and good health. Even with a well balanced diet, rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements, the body sometimes fails to assimilate these important substances. Schuessler Tissue Salts “bridge the gap” with fast absorption and assimilation into the blood stream, hence the reason why they were chosen to be the basis of the KIDZ Mineral range. They are a very effective treatment for all children’s health concerns and at the same time strengthening children’s internal health leading to a stronger immunity.

Why is it important that KIDZ Minerals be given to my child throughout the day?

KIDZ Minerals are micro dose minerals and need to be taken throughout the day for optimum health benefits. They are different from crude minerals and in their potentized state are able to bridge the gap and restore the molecular imbalance that may be impeding the nutritional process. Even with a well balanced diet, rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements, the body sometimes fails to assimilate these substances. This is where these micro dose minerals are unique and why they are important to be taken throughout the day.

Can you please explain the change of dosage and why children can now take 1 tablet 4 times per day when on your standard range it is ½ a tablet for children 4 times per day?

KIDZ Minerals are half the adult dose per tablet when compared to our standard Schuessler Tissue Salt Range to make it easier for parents to dispense.
