How to choose the best vitamins for a child?

Indeed, natural vitamins are extremely useful for a growing young organism, and there is no point in feeding the child with synthetic vitamin complexes in the summer. And what if the winter is outside the window, and greenhouse, not particularly useful fruits and vegetables are sadly left on the shelves? Consider what the best vitamins in this case you can choose in the pharmacy for your child. After all, in addition to the hypovitaminic season, children are strongly influenced by the harmful urban environment, and hence frequent colds appear.

Vitamins, as a rule, are divided into two types: one-component, containing one vitamin, and multivitamin complexes, which include all the necessary minerals, enzymes and microelements. Selecting the best vitamins for a child, consult a pediatric physician about the optimal ratio of substances in the preparation to take into account all the necessary nuances.

The first thing to take into account the age group of the child, as newborn children and adolescents need completely different nutrients and microelements. Infants on breastfeeding or artificial feeding are not needed at all, as they get everything they need for growth and development with their mother's milk or milk formula. The exception is vitamin D3, which is recommended to give babies for the prevention of rickets. Also, vitamin complexes can be prescribed for children from birth in case of avitaminosis ("Multi-Tabs Baby", "Polivit Baby", etc.).

In general, starting to look for the best vitamin for the baby, always listen to the doctor's opinion, since the excess of vitamins is not less harmful than their lack.

Age categories of children and suitable for them vitamin complexes:

• Children after 1 year - "Pikovit", "Alphabet" Our baby "", "Biovital gel", "Sana-Sol";
• Children after 3 years - "Alphabet" Kindergarten "";
• Children after 4 years - "Vita-Mishki", "Multi-Tabs Classic";
• Children after 12 years - Centrum, Vitrum.

If you are thinking about which vitamins are the best, remember that the production of medicines costs a lot of money, and it is quality production that guarantees their high quality and optimal balance. Always buy vitamins of well-known and proven pharmaceutical manufacturers, check the expiration date and carefully read the instructions to become familiar with the list of contraindications and side effects. Be sure to keep all medicines away from children, because if your baby finds a bright colorful jar with sweet multi-colored sweets, he will eat them all up to one and get a significant surplus of vitamins. Do not think that only abroad produce good vitamins. Reviews of young mothers show that our domestic producers are no worse than foreign ones. At the same time, the price of Russian drugs is more suitable than foreign ones.

Choosing the best vitamins for your child, you should not buy dietary supplements, which proudly refer to themselves as vitamin complexes. The content of useful minerals and trace elements in them is extremely low, and the composition of additional miracle additives is little understood. Trust the well-known brands and buy vitamins for your children only from time-tested manufacturers, because it guarantees their optimally balanced composition.
