Remember those Flinstones vitamins we used to get as kids? They seemed more like candy than anything else. Now with depleted soil, processed foods and picky eaters all working against the nourishment of our children, supplements seem more necessary than ever before, especially for this over scheduled generation that we expect so much from. Since stories of girls starting their menses at the tender age of 9 began, we have been warned to only give our children organic milk and organic foods, but what should we be giving our children as far as supplements? Some pediatricians say a children’s multivitamin is enough while others say that food should be supplying our children with the vitamins and minerals they need.
