#asktheexpert My daughter is 5 years 2 months old Pl tell me that which supplement is better with milk

A. For your 5-year-2-month-old daughter, supplements should be chosen based on her growth, immunity, and nutritional needs. Ideally, a well-balanced diet should provide all essential nutrients, but if she is a picky eater, underweight, or has deficiencies, supplements can help. 1. Key Supplements for Kids ✔ Calcium & Vitamin D – Supports bone growth (e.g., Pediasure, Ostocalcium, Wellkid Calcium) ✔ Multivitamin Syrup/Chews – Fills nutritional gaps (e.g., Zinconia, Kids Multivitamin Gummies) ✔ Iron Syrup (if needed) – Helps with energy & prevents anemia (e.g., Ferikind, Orofer XT) ✔ DHA & Omega-3 – Brain & eye development (e.g., Seven Seas Kids, Nutrijell DHA Syrup) ✔ Probiotics – Improves digestion & immunity (e.g., Enterogermina, Econorm) ✔ Protein Powder (if needed) – For growth support (e.g., Pediasure, Junior Horlicks, Groviva) 2. How to Choose the Right Supplement? ✅ If she eats well → No extra supplements needed, just a balanced diet. ✅ If she is underweight or weak → Protein powder + Multivitamins. ✅ If she gets frequent infections → Zinc + Vitamin C + Probiotics. ✅ If she has low appetite → Multivitamin syrup (A to Z, Bevon). 3. Natural Food Alternatives (Best Option) Instead of relying only on supplements, include these foods daily: ✔ Milk, paneer, cheese (Calcium) ✔ Eggs, fish, walnuts, flaxseeds (DHA & Protein) ✔ Fruits & veggies (Vitamins & Fiber) ✔ Dal, nuts, jaggery (Iron)
