[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, multivitamins are a scam. If bloodwork shows a deficiency, you treat that issue. Otherwise you're just making expensive urine. Healthy varied diet covers all needs. [/quote] My kid is 8 and we have never once done bloodwork. Is this routine? [/quote] It was required when my kid started school in DC, to check for lead. But that's great that you've never had an issue that would require bloodwork! If your kid had a health problem, the doctor would have recommended it, and it [i]might[/i] turn up a deficiency that you [i]might[/i] treat with a [b]specific [/b]vitamin/ mineral. Typical kids do not need a multivitamin, unless their parents let them subsist on a diet of chicken nuggets or something. [/quote]
