Everyday EXTRA BASE is a formulated supplementary food that has higher doses of vitamins and minerals for children with very fussy eating patterns. If your child consistently prefers beige foods like rice, white bread, potatoes and rarely eats a rainbow of colourful foods (eg a child that has very little intake of vegetables, fruit or meat) Everyday EXTRA BASE is the formulation for you.
This formulation is an unflavoured powder, with a small scoop size, that can be mixed into a wide variety of foods, hot or cold (2 min noodles, pasta sauces, spreads, peanut butter and butter, Mac and cheese, icing, milkshakes and thickened fluids, yoghurt etc).
If your child only accepts a handful of foods, or has been diagnosed with ARFID, and you are unsure whether Base Kids would mix in with their preferred food, please contact us for further information and advice.
If you are keen to try Everyday EXTRA BASE in liquid, we recommend adding it to flavoured, thickened drinks that can disguise any clumping or settling, rather than plain milk or water.

BASE KIDS ESSENTIALS
Vitamin D, E + fibre
Everyday EXTRA BASE contains vitamin D. The main source of vitamin D is from the sun with a small amount coming from foods. EXTRA BASE contains vitamin D to support intake during periods of fussy eating. If your child is vitamin D deficient on blood testing please consult a health professional to see if EXTRA BASE is right for your child.
Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant and supports immune function. It is found in oils, nuts and seeds and vegetables like spinach. EXTRA BASE contains vitamin E to support dietary intake during periods of fussy eating.
Everyday EXTRA BASE also contains a gentle gut friendly fibre blend to support tummies during periods of fussy eating.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A supports healthy vision, immune function, and cell integrity. It comes in two forms: carotenoids from plant foods such as carrots, mangoes, and leafy greens, and preformed vitamin A from animal sources like liver, fish, eggs, and dairy. Gentle cooking methods such as steaming or roasting help preserve its levels.
Most children eating a variety of whole foods will meet their daily vitamin A needs through diet. However, selective eaters with very limited fruit, vegetable, or dairy intake may benefit from additional support.
For these children, EVERYDAY EXTRA BASE includes vitamin A to help fill the gap while healthy eating habits are developing. If your child has been diagnosed with vitamin A deficiency please consult your health professional to see whether Extra Base is the right product for your child.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C supports iron and copper absorption, stabilises folate, and plays a key role in immune health through its antioxidant properties and its role in collagen formation. It is found widely in fruits and vegetables such as blackcurrants, citrus, kiwi, guava, broccoli, and sprouts. Deficiency is relatively rare, but low intake of vitamin C may impair immune defences, slow growth, and, in severe cases, cause scurvy. Children with very limited fruit and vegetable intake may be at risk of subclinical deficiency.
Iron
Iron comes in two dietary forms: haem iron, found in red meat, lamb, and pork and easily absorbed, and non-haem iron, found in eggs, pulses, fortified cereals, and vegetables, which is better absorbed when paired with vitamin C-rich foods like strawberries, tomatoes, or kiwi. Iron deficiency is common in young children and may cause fatigue, anaemia, developmental delays, and lowered immunity. Risk factors include diets high in milk or processed foods.
To support healthy intake, BASE supplements contain highly bioavailable iron (ferrous bisglycinate) at safe levels for children likely meeting their needs through diet. For selective eaters who may not consume enough iron from meat, fruit, or vegetables, Everyday EXTRA BASE includes additional iron.
Children diagnosed with iron deficiency on blood tests, however, will require medical advice for targeted iron therapy beyond food supplements.
B Vitamins
B vitamins are essential for metabolism, energy production, brain function, and cell growth. They aren’t stored in the body for long and must be consumed regularly through the diet in foods such as dairy, eggs, meat, and leafy green vegetables. BASE formulations contain vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B12.
