Vitamin supplements for children

Vitamin supplementation for children is an issue that mothers cannot ignore in today's life. As children grow, the nutrients they need will increase. If we do not pay attention to the supplementation of these vitamins and other nutrients, the harm caused to them will be greater. So now I will introduce to you how to supplement vitamins for children.

There are many kinds of vitamin preparations on the market now. If they are medicines, the single dose is much larger than the amount of vitamins required physiologically. Parents cannot buy them for their children casually, but should do so under the guidance of a doctor. Vitamin preparations used for children's health care generally have a single dose equivalent to or only slightly larger than the physiological requirement, so taking health-care doses of vitamins will generally not cause poisoning. As a health-care vitamin preparation, it is easier to take a compound vitamin preparation, such as the familiar Centrum Plus and Centrum for Children, both of which contain more than ten kinds of vitamins.

Under normal dietary conditions, taking one tablet of Centrum Plus or Centrum Plus for children daily or every other day will not cause poisoning. For the healthy development of children, in addition to paying attention to maintaining food balance in daily diet, it is also recommended to supplement with multiple vitamins daily or every other day. This is based on the results of a large-scale study involving 10,000 children hosted by the Institute of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine. In this study, one group of children took a daily health-preserving dose of multivitamins (Xiao Shierkang) in addition to their regular diet, while the other group of children only took a regular diet without any supplements. Long-term follow-up results showed that the children in the supplemented group had significant increases in height and weight, had significantly fewer colds, and had higher hemoglobin levels than the non-supplemented group.

Therefore, for the growth and development of children, it is necessary to supplement with multiple vitamins with health-care functions. It can not only make up for the lack of vitamin intake in the daily diet, but also promote the physical and intellectual development of children and increase the body's resistance.

Through the methods introduced above, everyone should now know how to correctly supplement vitamins for children! At the same time, the most important thing is to pay attention to supplementing a variety of foods rich in vitamins in your daily diet, which will be more conducive to their absorption and ensure the health of your child.
