A member asked:
Is it safe for me to give my son a multi-vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant supplement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure: Many of my physician colleagues take an inexpensive vitamin-and-mineral supplement. I don't personally know any physician who takes antioxidants or believes they offer health benefits. I bet Junior will be most grateful in the long run if you offer him good-tasting, nutritious food and especially have times when the family exercises together.
