7. Vitamins

Multivitamins are a good idea, especially for school aged children as they have access to junk foods that you will have no control over. You might want to consider giving your child other vitamin supplements, including:

  • Zinc – Children 6 years old and over can safely consume between 10 and 20 mg each day. Older children and adults can consume 20 to 40 mg each day. This mineral is vital to the immune system and can stop many viruses dead in their tracks.
  • Vitamin C – This immune boosting vitamin is important as well, especially if your child isn’t fond of citrus fruits. Vitamin C can fight off invading germs. Small children up to the age of 6 can consume 250mg each day, and older kids can safely consume about 500mg.
