What supplements have been studied for children's immune health?

Vitamin D, zinc, probiotics (L. rhamnosus GG), and vitamin C have the most pediatric clinical evidence. L. rhamnosus GG is extensively studied in children for reducing gastrointestinal and respiratory infection rates. Dosages must be age-appropriate.

Can supplements replace a healthy diet for children's immunity?

Supplements should not replace a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Most healthy children who eat a varied diet do not need routine supplementation beyond vitamin D. Supplements may be appropriate when dietary intake is inadequate or specific deficiencies are identified.

When should I see a pediatrician about my child's immune health?

Consult a pediatrician if your child experiences more than 8 ear infections per year, 2 or more serious sinus infections, 2 or more months on antibiotics with little effect, or failure to thrive. These may indicate an immune deficiency requiring specialist evaluation.
