Question 1

i want to take cent rum vitamin to increase my appetite its safe or not thanks doctors?

Accepted Answer

Safe, not effective: There have been many claims for various vitamins and their ability to increase appetite. There is no reliable information to support this idea. It is known that vitamin deficiencies may decrease appetite, so possibly the correction of those deficiencies increases appetite. In general, multiple vitamins like Centrum as safe to take; however, best idea is to eat as healthy a diet as possible:)

Question 2

what kind of vitamins increase appetite?

Accepted Answer

None: Appetite in toddlers naturally goes up and down with activity and growth cycles.  It is almost always a bad idea for anyone, toddlers included, to eat beyond when they are hungry.  If you are concerned that your child isn't growing well, talk to your doctor.  If he's growing well with his natural appetite, but you just want him to eat more, you are not doing him any favors.
