A recent 2024 study (National Library of Medicine pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38540869/) confirms a concerning decline in the nutritional quality of our food over the past 60 years. Essential minerals and nutrients found in fruits, vegetables, and staple crops have significantly decreased due to modern farming methods and soil depletion.
For parents, this means that even a balanced diet may no longer be enough to fully meet children’s nutritional needs. Choosing high-quality supplements can help fill these gaps and support their long-term health.
Why Is This Happening?
Several factors contribute to the decline in food nutrition:
- Crop Selection & Farming Practices – Preference for high-yield, less-nutritious varieties has reduced nutrient density in food.
- Increased CO₂ Levels – Rising carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been linked to a decline in the nutritional quality of fruits, vegetables, and staple crops.
- Soil Depletion – Intensive chemical use in agriculture depletes soil minerals, impacting the food grown in it.
- Longer Food Supply Chains – The time between harvest and consumption has increased, leading to vitamin loss.
- Early Harvesting – Fruits and vegetables are often picked before they fully mature, preventing them from reaching peak nutrient concentration.
- Overcooking – Excessive cooking further destroys the already reduced micronutrient content in food.
We believe that food supplements can play a valuable role in bridging nutritional gaps and supporting healthy physical and cognitive development in children.
But be mindful when choosing supplements! Avoid those containing additives, artificial colorings, artificial flavors, or refined sugars—these can be counterproductive.
