Bottom Line: Not if they eat right.
One third of kids in the U.S. take vitamins and most take a vitamin that contains vitamin C, calcium or iron but most take a multivitamin. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend a daily multivitamin for children.
There is currently no research that shows that vitamins make you healthier or live longer.
