Can an 8 year old take multivitamins for men?

Specializes in Family Medicine

Not a good idea: An 8-year-old's nutritional needs are different from those of an adult male. That's why there are special formulations for children & different ones for adults. People with specific illnesses/conditions may have additional nutritional needs. Discuss vitamin choices with your pediatrician.
