Important Highlights:
Almost 90% of exclusively breastfed infants are deficient in Vitamin D, necessitating supplementation to prevent rickets.
Iron is vital for cognitive development in toddlers, with up to 15% suffering from iron-deficiency anemia.
A 2013 study found that higher levels of DHA, a component of Omega-3, are correlated with better reading and memory skills in children.
About one-third of children in the U.S. take multivitamins, but their effectiveness in disease prevention is debated.
Calcium supplementation is strongly advised for children aged 8-13, with a daily allowance of around 1,300 mg recommended.
Iron supplementation becomes particularly important for menstruating teenagers.
