Standard Process Vitamins

Is it safe for my 15 year old to take multivitamins daily?

No medical concerns, or problems. He takes two trader joe multivitamins a day (the recommended amount) is this safe?

1. YES!! as long as he is taking the recommended dosage for his weight than its fine. Vitamins are a good supplement especially those who tend to not eat properly.
2. Multi vitamins are fine to take daily. But you do need to read the labels as some have higher doses of Iron, etc. Something like Centrum is fine. He shouldnt take anything else along with it, unless your family doctor has said its okay. He should take it with breakfast every morning.
3. sure y not
4. Multivitamins are great especially since most teens don't have adequate diets and are still growing
5. I think he should consult his doctor.He may be taking too many vitamins.
6. I'm fifteen and I take a multi vitamin everyday. The one that my family agrees is the best and feels it helps us is Centrum A-Z. Every doctor I've been to thinks it's an excellent idea and encourage the taking of a daily munti vitamin.
