Do kids need a multi-vitamin?

We all have seen the studies that show that the nutrient level in our food is going down. So a multivitamin might be appropriate for your child if he or she:

• Doesn't eat regular or well-balanced meals
• Doesn't get enough fish, fruits, or vegetable to get the needed DHA and vitamins
• Has certain chronic diseases or food allergies
• Has a restrictive diet
• Has an eating disorder
• Has been diagnosed with failure to thrive

Follow these precautions when giving your child multivitamins:

• Make sure the multivitamin is designed for your child's age group.
• Choose a multivitamin that provides 100 percent of the daily value for all vitamins and minerals.
• Store multivitamins out of your child's reach and make it clear that they aren't candy.
• Don't use multivitamins as a replacement for proper nutrition.

Continue to offer your child healthy meals and snacks.
