When do children need to take iron and vitamin C?

Before finding out if iron and vitamin C can be taken together, let’s answer the question of when children need iron and vitamin C supplements? 

Both iron and vitamin C are essential components in the human body. Iron is often mentioned in its role as a blood-forming ingredient for the body, preventing anemia, and helping children improve their resistance. 

Meanwhile, vitamin C supports the formation of blood vessels, collagen, cartilage, and muscles in children. It also repairs connective tissue, red blood cells, cartilage, and muscles, helps wounds heal faster, and strengthens the immune system, preventing infections in children.

According to the WHO recommendations, mothers should supplement iron and vitamin C for babies starting from 4 months of age. In addition, if the baby is anemic, iron deficient, premature, low birth weight, pale, tired, etc., mothers should also give the child these two vitamins and minerals.
