Kids' vitamins often surpass daily recommendations

By Andrew M. Seaman NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Vitamin supplements marketed for infants and children often contain more than the recommended amount of individual vitamins, according to a new study. Researchers found that in all but one case, the average vitamin content of those supplements exceeded what's recommended. "What we did is compare what's on the labels for (children's vitamins) to the recommended daily allowance or adequate intake," Michael Madden told Reuters Health. Madden is the study's lead author from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Erie, Pennsylvania.
