Welcome to the Official Web Site of VitaKids Pte Ltd!
This website was created with the purpose of providing you with useful information about our company, the products we offer and general information about proper dietary habits, essential nutrients, accessory nutrients, herbs, homeopathic remedies, healthy lifestyle, natural skincare, environmental health, etc. We hope makes it easier for you to patronize our shop and buy from us after you have reviewed the information on our website.
VitaKids has been serving the regional community of South-East Asia, and even countries beyond, since 2002. We specialize in nutritional supplements, natural remedies, natural/organic foods and personal care products and earth-friendly household cleaning agents for children and grown-ups in the family as well. Yes, we do not just catering to kids. There's a whole lot more for your family at VitaKids!
At this site, you will not only discover all about our excellent range of products but will also get to know our well-trained, courteous and resourceful staff.
Remember this. Each one of us must take personal responsibility for our own health and well-being. We cannot delegate this crucial aspect of our earthly existence to a specialist, surgeon, doctor, pharmacist, nurse or other healthcare practitioner (allopathic or naturopathic). Like in the realm of IT, it's garbage in, garbage out. We are the product of what we feed on, what we think and feel and what we do with our bodies.
Please feel free to browse around the site. If you have comments or questions about our products or services, or simply need more information about any health topic, you can either drop us an email (see contact information below) or go to the feedback page within this site to give us your valued feedback.
Thanks for visiting and we look forward to serving you better! |
Study: Believing You are Healthy May Make It So
Nearly half the men who rated their own risk as "low" would have been classified by objective medical tests as being at high risk. Yet when researchers checked the accuracy of their predictions against death records 15 years later, it turned out that men who believed they were at lower-than-average risk actually had a three times lower rate of death from heart attacks and strokes.

If like most people, you are new to the world of natural medicine, we would like to strongly recommend the following two articles - one on Traditional Chinese Medicine and the other on Naturopathy (or Naturopathic Medicine).

The Age-Old Debate on Whether We Need Supplements

How do you like them tomatoes?
Tomatoes lose flavor if refrigerated. Unripe tomatoes should be stored in a basket on a counter or on top of the fridge, to allow the ripening process to continue. Any type of produce that continues to ripen after picking, including pears, peaches, and plums, shouldn’t be refrigerated. Store them in a brown paper bag at room temperature until ripe.
