Doctor's answer (1)
Generally, it is not recommended for young children to take multivitamin taurine tablets.
Multivitamin taurine tablets mainly contain taurine, vitamin C, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and other nutrients. Although appropriate intake of these nutrients is beneficial for adults, children's nutritional needs are usually met through a balanced daily diet. Blindly taking supplements may lead to excessive intake of certain nutrients in children, potentially causing metabolic disorders.
In addition, children's liver and kidney functions and metabolic capacities differ from those of adults. Therefore, even doses considered safe for adults may pose risks to children. Parents should not decide on their own to give children such supplements, but rather should determine whether and how much to use based on a pediatrician's evaluation of the child's actual needs.
In daily diets, parents are advised to provide children with well-balanced meals, pay attention to portion control, avoid excessive consumption of single foods, and ensure balanced nutrition, which helps maintain good health.
