“At what age can I introduce multivitamins for my child?”
My son is 4 years old and is a very fussy eater. I would like to know what is a good age for me to introduce multi vitamins in his routine to replenish his nutritional requirements.

You can start now. Give the supplement recommended for his age
I typically introduce MVI around 18 months of age, for more than one reason. Kids get more picky at that age as they try to test their boundaries and try to eat more snacks than meals. Also, dairy intake is not as optimal and vitamin D intake starts to go down. Many kiddos are now deficient in vitamin D and iron. Especially if you live in an area with long winters. I typically recommend MVI with iron (chewable not gummy). I do emphasize a well-balanced diet and to continue to limit juice/no pop.
