Children Taking Multi-Vitamins Have Less Allergy

Swedish researchers were trying to prove that taking multivitamins as a child would cause more allergy.  Instead, they showed that children taking multivitamins regularly from age 4 or earlier have significantly less allergy by age 8.

Programming of the immune system during pregnancy and the first few years of life is now known to have a significant impact on future health.  Children with recurring infections, recurring antibiotic use, too many immunizations, high stress environments, poor diet, and/or weight gain are all having their immune system’s programmed to be hyper-aroused and prone to allergy and asthma.

Conversely, nutrition is a main tool that the immune system and nervous system uses to support healthy function and development.  It is not at all surprising that a multivitamin during younger years helps support healthier development and leads to 39% less allergy by age 8.  Considering there is an epidemic of allergic illnesses in our youth, a multivitamin is just plain common sense.
