A child’s health and well being is very closely connected to family lifestyle, genetics and environment.
SomaOmnia provides tailored guidance and advice on children’s nutrition, allergies/food intolerances support, fitness regime, sports-specific nutrition, training needs and any problematic issues.
Role of Essential Nutrients in Kid’s Health
SomaOmnia offers many approaches to your child’s health requirements, from specific training programs to preparation for sports events or simply fitness and lifestyle advice. We additionally provide a selection of nutritional tests, among which are vitamin D and food intolerance (gluten and lactose included).
Essential nutrients play a critical role in the growth and development of children, underpinning various physiological processes that are vital for their overall health. Macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats provide the energy necessary for daily activities and support the development of muscles, organs, and the central nervous system.
Micronutrients, including vitamins and minerals, are equally important; for instance, calcium and vitamin D are crucial for bone growth, while iron is essential for cognitive development and the formation of hemoglobin in red blood cells. Omega-3 fatty acids contribute to brain health, influencing cognitive function and behavior.
A balanced diet rich in these essential nutrients not only fosters physical growth but also enhances immune function, ensures optimal brain development, and lays the foundation for lifelong health and well-being. Proper nutrition during childhood is thus instrumental in promoting holistic development and preventing future health issues.

NEW for October 2025
Baby / Child Gut Health Test (Tiny Health) – is the first gut test for babies 0-3 years old or children aged 3-18.
This test is a valuable tool for assessing gut health in children from birth to 18 years old. It may allow nutritional therapists to identify and address gut imbalances early on.
The Tiny Health test uses deep-shotgun metagenomics, the current gold standard for microbiome testing, to provide strain-level precision. It’s a mess-free way to track Candida, parasites, and bacteria associated with inflammation. The comprehensive gut health report, delivered in approximately 3-4 weeks, includes personalised dietary, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations based on the detected markers.
This test offers insights into:
- The child’s immune strength and the presence of protective gut bacteria. A lack of these can manifest as colic, fussiness, gas, and sleep issues.
- Biomarkers for conditions such as eczema, allergies, and asthma.
- Microbiome markers associated with sleep disturbances, constipation, and other conditions.
- The transfer of microbes from the biological mother to the baby during birth (seeding), with a focus on achieving over 60% transfer within the first six months.
Please remember that this is not a diagnostic test. For medical advice, please consult a medical professional.
