Can Supplementation Improve Child Behaviour
Alongside a good diet and good role models for a child, nutritional supplements can be helpful.
Researchers from California State University, designed a study to determine the effects of a low dose vitamin/mineral supplement in children aged 6¬12. This trial compared the behaviour of 468 children, half of whom were taking a daily multivitamin while the other half took a dummy pill.
After four months of the daily supplement, the children taking the multi were disciplined for violent and non-violent delinquency 47% less often than the placebo group. The lower rate of anti-social behaviour represented less threats, fighting, vandalism, disrespect, disorderly conduct, defiance, obscenities, endangering others, and other undesirable behaviours.
Look for a good quality kids’ multivitamin, preferably in a capsule to avoid unnecessary sugars additives, which can burden a sensitive or hyper-allergenic child.
