The Most Important Supplement for Children

Nutritional supplementation with zinc among children provides immeasurable benefits. Zinc supplementation (20 mg daily for 14 days during each episode of diarrhea) given to nutrient starved children in Bangladeshi prevented absolute death by 50% and decreased the need for antibiotics by 60% among those who suffered from diarrhea.

Zinc also prevents pneumonia among children by up to 41%.
