POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy7 months agoA. 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)
