Evidence (grade C)
Most children who eat a varied diet meet their needs from food; a multivitamin is a backup, not a substitute. The 600 IU of vitamin D matches the NIH recommended amount from age 1 [1]. It is iron-free because accidental iron overdose is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6 [2]; the AAP recommends checking iron status with your pediatrician instead [3].
Cautions
- Looks and tastes pleasant: it is not candy. Store out of reach.
- Do not combine with other vitamin D or multivitamin products without asking your pediatrician.
- Keep out of reach of children. Store closed, away from heat.
- Do not exceed the label dose. Tell your pediatrician about every supplement and medicine your child takes.
Questions for your pediatrician
- Based on my child's diet, is a multivitamin useful?
- Should my child's iron be checked?
- Does my child need this, given their diet and growth?
- Is the label dose right for my child's age and weight?
- Could it interact with any medicine or condition my child has?
