Daily supplements of multivitamins may decrease the risk of food allergies in younger children, says a new study.
Scientists from the world famous Karolinska Institute in Sweden reported that multivitamin supplements had no effect on the incidence of asthma, allergic rhinitis, eczema, or atopic sensitization in 2,423 eight-year olds (1). However, when the researchers limited their analysis to children who started supplementation before the age of four, a 39 percent decrease in the risk of sensitization to food allergens was noted.
