The goodness of Scott’s Emulsion

Mothers have trusted the goodness of Scott’s Emulsion for generations.

YOUR kid needs to be healthy to stay independent. This is particularly true in the classroom. If one of his classmates catches a cold, he too may catch it if he isn’t healthy. In fact, a child below six years old is more susceptible to the common cold.

There is no cure for colds, but you can provide your child relief and comfort with decongestant ointments, plenty of fluids, antihistamines to help decrease mucus production in the nose and lots of rest. Most importantly, give him the right health supplements to help build up body resistance and general well-being.

The first six years of your child’s life are the most crucial. These are the formative years where most important brain and visual development takes place.

For a head start in development, give your child a diet rich in Omega-3 essential fatty acids containing DHA (dosahexanoic acid). The richest source of DHA is found in cold water fish like salmon, mackerel, albacore tuna, sardines and cod.

Scott’s Emulsion is rich in cod liver oil, Mother Nature’s own vitamin supplement. It is richly laden with natural sources of vitamins A and D, DHA and EPA and also enriched with calcium and phosphorus. Taken regularly, cod liver oil can help your child remain healthy.

One key benefit of vitamin A is that it helps to prevent coughs and colds. What it does is to keep the epithelial cells healthy. These are cells that line the surfaces and cavities of the skin, including the lungs. When these cells stay healthy, the body stays healthy.

Your child also needs essential nutrients to support rapid physical growth. To develop strong bones and teeth, you must ensure there is sufficient calcium in his food and also specific vitamins to help absorb this daily calcium intake. Good sources of calcium are milk, cheese, yoghurt, anchovies, salmon, sardines with bones, kale, soybeans and its products such as tofu.

Sufficient amounts of vitamin D, the “sunshine vitamin” is vital for the body to absorb and fully utilise this calcium intake.

Good sources of vitamin D are eggs, liver, fortified milk and fish oils. In fact, cod liver oil remains one of the best natural sources of vitamin D, with over 30 times more than egg yolk. Mothers have trusted the goodness of Scott’s Emulsion for generations. It is available in original and orange flavours.
