What Vitamins and When to Recommend Them to Children

Mgr.Margit Slimáková, Ph.D.
Privátní praxe v Praze

Sufficient levels of micronutrients, including vitamins, are essential for the proper functioning of the body. Recommended daily doses

serve as a guide to determine a sufficient amount of micronutrients and to possibly prescribe supplementation. Do children only need

good food or do they need to regularly take vitamin supplements? According to advertisements, there is no other way but to take vitamin

supplements. However, professional recommendations are more sober and prefer a healthy diet as a source of vitamins.

Keywords: vitamins, children, supplementation, healthy food
