The main production plants and research laboratories are located in the United States of America, but this does not prevent this series of dietary supplements from being popular all over the world. Due to its unique composition, the drug has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the growing organism.

Release form, components

"Vitrum Junior" is sold in tablet form. The capsules have a brownish tint and a slight fruity odor. They are packaged in quantities from 30 to 90 pieces in polyethylene jars, which in turn are placed in small boxes made of cardboard. The composition of the dietary supplement is filled with vitamin and mineral components, including the following:

These elements determine the beneficial properties of the drug. However, given the fact that it contains certain excipients, including coloring and flavoring agents, it is worth meeting with a specialist before starting to take them for advice.

Beneficial features

"Vitrum" for children, taken from 7 to 14 years old, has a number of useful properties. These include:

• normalization of growth;
• normalization of the functioning of the visual organs;
• accelerating the healing process of abrasions and bruises;
• strengthening the immune system;
• improvement of metabolic processes;
• increasing resistance to infectious and viral diseases;
• strengthening and normalizing the growth of bone tissue, skeletal formation;
• protection of cellular tissues from damage;

Other situations requiring the use of this complex include:

• recovery period after suffering a severe pathological condition;
• a period of increased stress, causing an increase in mental and physical activity;
• unbalanced diet;
• living in environmentally unfavorable areas.

Self-administration of the drug is allowed only for preventive purposes once in the fall and spring. The instructions for the drug emphasize this, indicating that if a question arises about repeating the course, it is better to consult a doctor.
