Astra-Vites™ provided by Douglas Laboratories® is
a great tasting, multiple vitamin-mineral-trace element supplement designed for
children ages four and up. Each chewable orange-flavored tablet provides
essential vitamins and minerals for healthy, growing children. Studies show that a high percentage of children in
North America and other developed countries eat less than the minimum daily
allowance of many essential nutrients. Adequate amounts and proper balance of
these nutrientsare needed not only for maintaining good health, but also for
satisfying the special nutritional demands of growth and development during
childhood. Astra- Vites™ has been carefully designed and formulated to contain
the right proportions of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements without
danger of toxic build-up and without side effects. Each ingredient is selected
in consideration of its absorbability, competitive relationship with other
nutrients, taste, allergenic potential, and long-term safety. Astra-Vites™ is ideal for children that are at
risk for vitamin, mineral and trace element deficiencies due to sub-optimal
dietary intake, and life style. Children 4 years and older take 2 tablets daily
with meals or as directed by physician. No adverse side effects reported. Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct
light. Keep out of reach of children. Albertson AM, Tobelmann RC, Engstrom A, Asp EH. Nutrient
