注 1：RAE 维生素当量及单位换算：一种称为视黄醇活性当量（RAE）的单位，用于比较视黄醇的不同形式维生素 A 1 微克活性相当于 1 微克视黄醇。

注 2：ugDFE 即“膳食叶酸当量”。由于食物叶酸与合成的叶酸补充剂生物利用程度不同，美国 FNB 提出叶酸的摄入量应以膳食叶酸当量（DFE）表示。由于食物叶酸的生物利用度仅为 50%，而叶酸补充剂与膳食混合时生物利用度为 85%，比单纯来源于食物的叶酸利用度 1.7 倍，因此 DFE 的计算公式为：

DFE（ug）=膳食叶酸 ug+（1.7x 叶酸补充剂 ug）

例如：来源于水果、蔬菜、肉类、豆类及奶制品食物的叶酸共 250 ug；来源于叶酸补充剂和强化食品的叶酸共 200 ug，则总叶酸摄入量为 250+1.7x200=590 ugDFE。

¹ Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamin A are given as retinol activity equivalents (RAE) to account for the different bioactivities of retinol and provitamin A carotenoids, all of which are converted by the body into retinol. One mcg RAE is equivalent to 1 mcg retinol, 2 mcg supplemental beta-carotene, 12 mcg dietary beta-carotene, or 24 mcg dietary alpha-carotene or beta-cryptoxanthin [1].

² The Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) developed DFEs to reflect the higher bioavailability of folic acid than that of food folate. Because folic acid is 85 percent bioavailable, but naturally occurring folate is only about 50 percent bioavailable, folic acid is 1.7 (85 ÷ 50) times more bioavailable. Therefore, the DFE folate is calculated as [2]:

mcg DFE = mcg naturally occurring folate + (1.7 × mcg folic acid)

VITAMINS

Vitamins are a type of Essential nutrients that children needs to survive and stay healthy. Vitamins have different jobs to help keep the body working properly. Vitamins help children body grow and work the way it should. There are 13 essential vitamins — vitamins A, C, D, E, K, and the B vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, B6, B12, and folate) that body needs, and they are all included in this product.

1. Vitamin A plays an important role with eyesight, skin, cell production, immune system, and protection from infections, helping children develop normally. Vitamin A is critical for vision as an essential component of rhodopsin, helping the eyes to be able to see clearly in low light conditions [3][4]. According to the World Health Organization, children with vitamin A deficiency have a higher risk of visual impairment and of illness and death from childhood infections, such as measles and infections that cause diarrheal diseases [5][6].

2. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid plays an important role in bone and teeth formation, which are super important during children formative years [7]. It is also critical in wound healing and the maintenance of healthy gums [7]. One of best known functions of Vitamin C, is its role in supporting the body’s immune system. “Because vitamin C is an antioxidant and vital to maintaining overall health, it actually can help boost your little one’s immune system if they have the sniffles,” says Dr. Radhakrishnan, a Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition at Cleveland Clinic, Ohio, United States. Antioxidants help reduce damage to cells from free radicals in the body. Vitamin C is also highly concentrated in immune cells, which suggests that it’s an immune-boosting agent [8].

3. Vitamin D is essential for building and maintaining healthy bones and respiration system. While many know that calcium is a primary component of bone growth and development, not everyone knows that calcium can only be absorbed by human body when vitamin D is present [9]. Vitamin D helps regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body. These nutrients are needed to keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy. Kids build bone throughout their childhood and adolescence, so getting enough of both calcium and D is critical during that time. A lack of vitamin D can lead to bone deformities such as rickets in children [10].

Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are common in children, and vitamin D deficiency was shown to be associated with increased risk of RTI. Thus, vitamin D3 supplementation was accepted by medical community as an important nutrient, which reduces the risk of respiratory problems in children. It is, however, important to remember that vitamin D3 should be supplemented with vitamin K2 [11].

Recent study also “ suggest that vitamin D supplementation might play a role in the prevention and/or treatment to SARS-CoV-2 infection disease, by modulating the immune response to the virus both in the adult and pediatric population.”[12]

4. Kids need Vitamin E to build their immunity. Vitamin E is an important vitamin that also acts as a powerful antioxidant, which helps to protect cells against damage caused by free radicals. There is little difference between the natural and synthetic forms of most vitamins. But with vitamin E, natural is better. Natural vitamin E is listed as d-alpha-tocopherol (RRR-α-tocopherol) , d-alpha tocopheryl succinate, which may be followed by the words "acetate," "succinate," or "acid succinate" , as you can see on Reju® Essentials Premium II for Kids . Researchers have found that natural vitamin E assimilates far better than synthetic versions. Researchers at Oregon State University, Corvallis, found the human body excretes synthetic vitamin E three times faster than the natural form. [13]

5. Vitamin K is a group of vitamins found in some green vegetables. There are 2 kinds of Vitamin K：Vitamins K1 (phytonadione) and K2 (menaquinone). The main function of all types of vitamin K is to activate proteins that serve important roles in blood clotting, heart health and bone health.

Clinical evidence in child populations has shown that Vitamin K2 activates protein that performs crucial biological functions that range from bone mineralization and healthy teeth, through promoting cardiovascular health, to maintaining brain development, joint health, and optimal body weight [14].

Children have the highest needs for K vitamins, since bone formation and development are most intense during childhood and adolescence. The higher the bone mass acquired before the age of 20–25, the better prognosis for good bone health later in life, as bone mass declines throughout adulthood [15]. Current research shows the important synergistic relationship between Vitamin K2 and Vitamin D3. Taking Vitamin D3 with Vitamin K2 helps to ensure the calcium transported by the Vitamin D is absorbed easily and reaches the bone mass, while preventing arterial calcification. Clinical observations show that arterial calcification and atherosclerosis is a progressive process that accumulates over decades [16][17]. Research has demonstrated that the beginnings of arterial calcification have been observed in otherwise healthy children. Results of many epidemiological studies showed that vitamin K2 is cardioprotective. An optimal vitamin K2 intake is, therefore, important to support cardiovascular health [18,19,20].

Vitamin K2 works in connect with calcium and vitamin D and appears to have a significant antioxidant role. Therefore, vitamin K2 can help to considerably reduce tooth decay while also appearing to play a prospective saliva-buffering role in the parotid and other salivary glands [21].

6. Thiamine (also known as Vitamin B1) is used by tissues throughout the body. This vitamin helps turn the foods into energy and is critical to maintain good health. Thiamine is a water-soluble vitamin and has an important role in energy metabolism and helps activate enzymes involved in energy metabolism [22]. Therefore, it's necessary for cells to function properly and for promoting optimal growth and development [22].

7. Riboflavin (also known as Vitamin B2) works as an antioxidant, fighting damaging particles in the body known as free radicals [23]. Riboflavin is also needed to help the body change vitamin B6 and folate into forms body can use [23]. It is also important for growth and red blood cell production [23]. Adequate riboflavin intake promotes healthy skin and good vision [23].

8. Niacin (also known as Vitamin B3) is important for converting calories from protein, fat and carbohydrates into energy [24]. It also helps in promoting healthy digestive system functioning as well as maintaining a healthy appetite [24].

9. Also known as Pyridoxine Hydrochloride, Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin. That means Vitamin B6 is needed every day since the body can’t store water-soluble vitamins, says Sonya Angelone, RDN, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Vitamin B6 plays key roles in keeping the brain and nervous system functioning properly, says Angelone. ‘’Vitamin B6 is involved in production of hemoglobin, the protein in blood that carries oxygen throughout the body.” Vitamin B6 is needed for proper brain development in children [25].

10. Folate (or Folic acid) is another name for Vitamin B9. Kids need folate from before birth through their early development and all the way into adulthood. Folate plays key roles in helping cell and tissue growth [26]. Folate also helps form red blood cells, produce DNA, and works with other nutrients to help use and create new proteins in the body [27]. Children need folate to make red blood cells. Folate deficiency may caused shortage of red blood cells — a condition known as folic acid deficiency anemia.

11. Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an important water-soluble vitamin involved in red blood cell production, brain health, and DNA synthesis [28]. Vitamin B12 also important for central nervous system function and helps turn the food we eat into energy. The source of Vitamin B12 in Reju® Essentials Premium II for Kids is Methylcobalamin. Methylcobalamin is a naturally occurring form of vitamin B12 that can be obtained through either supplements or food sources [29].

12. Biotin (also known as vitamin H or vitamin B7) is crucial in maintaining healthy hair and skin [30]. It also supports the cellular metabolism. Children need biotin to break down the food that they eat and turn it into energy [30]. All the cells in children body need biotin so that they can grow and develop properly [30].

13. Pantothenic acid, also called calcium D-pantothenate or Vitamin B5, is vital to living a healthy life. Like all B complex vitamins, B5 helps the body convert food into energy [31]. It also helps to create red blood cells and maintain a healthy digestive tract [31]. Some studies have found that taking pantothenic acid supplements can aid in treating or preventing disease. Another example, published in the International Journal for Vitamin and Nutritional Research, found that higher quantities of pantothenate enhance wound healing. Even taking a multivitamin that contains B5 may be beneficial [32].

Choline

14. Choline* is a water-soluble nutrient necessary for healthy cell membranes and metabolism [33]. Choline is important for the production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which has a role in memory, mood and muscle control [33]. It’s also important for infant brain development, specifically in memory and learning functions, as well as overall growth and development [34][35].

Although the body produces a small amount of choline, humans must consume some in the diet as well to maintain good health, explains the Linus Pauling Institute, or LPI, at Oregon State University [36]. For inclusion in supplements, manufacturers combine choline with a type of salt, such as bitartrate for better absorbency.

* Choline is neither a vitamin nor a mineral. However, it is often grouped with the vitamin B complex due to its similarities.

MINERALS

Like vitamins, minerals also help children body to function properly. Minerals are elements that human body needs to function that can be found on the earth and in foods. As human body cannot produce minerals, so it is necessary to obtain them through daily diet. However, many are difficult for human body to absorb. That’s why chelated mineral is designed to enhance their absorption in human body. Zinc, Manganese, Chromium and Molybdenum formulated in Reju® Essentials Premium II for Kids are available in chelated form which are clinically researched and chemically validated with TRAACS® (The Real Amino Acid Chelate System).

Calcium is needed for growing and building strong bones and teeth during childhood. Bones hold on to most of the calcium in the body. As much as 99% of the body's calcium is found in the bones. This needs to be ‘topped-up’ daily from our diet. Not getting enough calcium in childhood, may cause weak bones and fractures in later life [37]. The main source of calcium in Reju® Essentials Premium II for Kids is Calcium Citrate. Calcium citrate is the most easily absorbed and does not require stomach acid for absorption [38].

Iron plays a vital role in the development of hemoglobin, a red blood cell that carries oxygen throughout the body [39]. This mineral is also important for neurological development, the functioning of cells, and appropriate growth and development [40].

Iodine is an essential nutrient for children. It is important for growth, development and good health. Thyroid glands need iodine to produce the hormones that control metabolism, growth and development [41]. If children don’t get enough iodine in their diets, they might develop iodine deficiency. This can cause the thyroid gland to increase in size. An enlarged thyroid gland can cause swallowing and breathing difficulties [41]. An enlarged thyroid gland also will result in stunted growth and intellectual impairment [41].

Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in human body and is crucial for our health from an early age [42]. It's essential for bone development, regulating mood, energy production and muscle relaxation [43][44][45]. Magnesium is needed for calcium absorption and metabolism, converting vitamin D into its active form and regulating hormones for bone growth and development [42][44]. Results from a 2013 study showed that the amounts of magnesium consumed and absorbed by the body were a key predictor of a child’s bone health [46]. Optimal magnesium levels are particularly important for children because the best time to influence bone mass is in the early years, before adolescence when peak bone mass is achieved. [47]

Zinc is an essential trace mineral that children require throughout their childhood. Zinc has benefits for supporting immune function [48], healthy growth [49], cognitive development [50], and gut health in children [51][52].

Selenium is an essential trace element and antioxidant. It’s a cofactor in enzyme regulation [53]. It also helps maintain the health of tissue and muscle [53]. Selenium is needed to maintain the heart and blood vessels [53]. It also keeps the heart muscle and skin tissue healthy [53]. Selenium is also crucial for the health and proper functioning of immune system [54].

Copper has multiple roles in the body. It's important for the formation of hemoglobin, and it facilitates absorption of iron in the intestine [55]. Copper also plays a prominent role in the formation of red cells [55].

Manganese is a trace mineral necessary for healthy carbohydrate and fat metabolism [56][57]. Manganese also plays key roles in helping skeleton and connective tissue growth [56]. It is essential for stimulating powerful antioxidant activity in cells [58]. It also helps regulate blood sugar levels in body [58]. The source of manganese in Reju® Essentials Premium II for Kids is TRAACS® manganese bisglycinate chelate which has been received a positive safety assessment from European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) for use in dietary supplements in the European Union [59].

Chromium is a mineral that plays a role in metabolizing protein, carbohydrates, and fats and providing energy to muscles and brain, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), but it may be best known for its ability to increase insulin sensitivity [60]. “Chromium works with insulin to help your body use blood sugar and may also be involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins," explains Melissa Majumdar, RD, a spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the bariatric coordinator at Emory University Hospital Midtown in Decatur, Georgia.

The source of chromium in Reju® Essentials Premium II for Kids is TRAACS® Chromium Nicotinate Glycinate Chelate. Chromium Nicotinate Glycinate Chelate is a high-quality chelated form of the mineral chromium which clinically researched and chemically validated with TRAACS® (The Real Amino Acid Chelate System).

Molybdenum is a cofactor that the body requires for the function of some enzymes. These enzymes are involved in processing sulfites and breaking down waste products and toxins in the body [61]. Molybdenum Glycinate Chelate is a highly bioavailable form of molybdenum which designed to enhance their absorption in human body.

Boron is a natural mineral that we can get from plant-based foods. Some studies have indicated that boron may play a role in brain function. For example, one 1994 study published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives found that people who added 3.25 mg of boron to their diets were better at memory and hand-eye coordination tasks than people with low boron levels [62]. Boron is known to influence a variety of metabolic actions. It interacts with calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium, which are all important in bone metabolism [63][64][65]. Bone mineral density has been shown to be related to boron intake [64].

Vanadium has been recognized by the American Dietetic Association as an essential mineral in human nutrition. Some preliminary studies have shown Vanadium plays a role in improving insulin action [66]. Several studies conducted in people suggest that Vanadium may help to control blood sugar levels in diabetics [67].
