The dangers of giving supplements to children arbitrarily
Unlike ordinary vitamins, immunomodulators are not recommended for long-term consumption. The impact of this children's supplement will respond to excessive body immunity, which can cause allergies and hypersensitivity in children.
This is why parents are advised to only provide supplements if the child has immune problems, such as long-term coughing, frequent colds and flu, so that they are prone to infection. This does not mean that supplements should not be given to healthy children. It's okay, as long as it's not for a long or prolonged period.
