Can these drops be given to children, and from what age? — Vitamin A Drops, 25 ml - Mirrolla

According to the manufacturer, the liquid form of vitamin A from Mirrolla is also suitable for children from 3 years of age — which is why the drops are often chosen by families who need vitamin A in a form that is convenient for all family members.

However, giving retinol to children requires particular attention to the dosage. Vitamin A accumulates in the body, and a child's requirement for it is considerably lower than an adult's. An overdose in children can show itself faster and more severely than in adults. So before adding this product to a child's diet, it is important to discuss the dosage with a paediatrician — especially if the child is already getting vitamin A from a multivitamin complex or fortified foods.

It is also worth bearing in mind that if a child eats a varied diet and regularly eats foods rich in vitamin A (liver, eggs, dairy products, orange and yellow vegetables), additional intake may not be needed. This is best assessed together with a specialist rather than on the basis of general recommendations.
