In order to ensure the healthy growth of children, parents will provide them with some nutritional supplements. And vitamins are necessary for the body, but there are many vitamins, and many parents don't know what to supplement. Now let's talk about how many vitamins children should supplement!
Generally speaking, there are a total of 13 types of vitamins required by the human body, including 8 types of vitamin B family, as well as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, and vitamin K. The function of each vitamin is different, and it is also essential for the human body. Therefore, children need to supplement these 13 vitamins.
Although vitamins are important for children's growth, they cannot be easily supplemented. When supplementing, it is important to pay attention to the following two points:
1. It is not necessary to supplement additional vitamins
Generally speaking, the foods that babies eat, such as breast milk, formula milk, and daily diet, are rich in vitamins to provide them with their daily needs. Therefore, there is no need for special additional supplementation, unless the baby is deficient in a certain vitamin due to some special circumstances, and at this time, it can be supplemented under the guidance of a doctor.
2. More vitamins are not necessarily better
Some parents believe that their babies are prone to illness if they lack vitamins, so they will excessively supplement vitamins. In fact, this is wrong. Although it is not good to have too few vitamins in the body, too much can also cause poisoning. For example, excessive supplementation of vitamin E can cause children to experience abdominal pain and dizziness.
