Are multivitamins needed for children?
Dr. Ann Kulze: You know I’m the huge proponent of multivitamins for kids, for the
simple reason that children probably have the most nutrient deficient
restrictive diets of all segments of our popular. We think exception of the
elderly, and one thing that is critically important to think about for kids is
there is not just little adults. They don’t just need this 42 or more essential
nutrients day in and day out for maintenance repair they are growing and
developing. So the consequences of nutrient deficiencies in children are
especially risky because again they are growing and developing and they
didn’t need to be difficult a simple basic multivitamin. Again, it’s the
safety net, it’s a insurance formula because very few kids diet really they
provide all the nutritious they need and the perfect amounts each and
everyday. There are couples of very radical brands that you can almost
anywhere, Flintstones Complete, multi gummies is another excellent brand
so again I definitely recommend that a children take a simple basic
multivitamin to give with meals and I hope that it gives you some
guidance until next time, this is Dr. Ann for ICYou enjoy your health.
