Children should consume most of their vitamins and minerals from a balanced diet, with recommended servings from all of the food groups to satisfy macronutrient and micronutrient needs. However, some children may eat differently than expert dietary recommendations. Even with the best intentions, eating patterns may sometimes fall short of the suggested intakes for some vitamins and nutrients. This may be particularly true for children who are ‘fussy eaters’. Only 18% of children (aged 5-15 years) eat the 5-a-day recommendation for fruit and vegetables.1
Failure to eat a balanced diet can lead to sub-optimal intakes of some nutrients.
The government has highlighted some groups of children for whom a supplement is likely to be beneficial.2
Vitamin supplement recommendations for children
Based on UK Government recommendations:
- All children ages 6 months to 5 years should be given vitamin supplements containing vitamins A, C and D every day2
- However, babies who are having more than 500ml of infant formula a day should not be given supplements as this is fortified with vitamins A, C & D and other nutrients2
- Babies who are being breastfed should be given a daily vitamin D supplement from birth. This is applicable even if the mother is taking a vitamin D supplement†2
The main source of vitamin D is from sunlight on skin.2 This can mean that during winter months it is difficult to get enough vitamin D and the government recommends that everyone should consider a vitamin D supplement in autumn and winter.3 In addition vitamin D is only found in a limited number of foods such as dairy foods and oily fish, which means it is difficult to get enough vitamin D from food alone.2
†Centrum does not currently have a supplement for this age range
