Abstract
The effects of high-dosage multivitamin and mineral supplements on 15 children with Down syndrome aged between 7.5 and 63 months were studied in a placebo-controlled crossover trial. Active treatment was associated with decreased development progress, and various side-effects were reported by the parents. The only suggestions of benefit were parents'' observations of improvement in general appearance and skin freshness. However, the parents were willing to continue using the treatment and to recommend it to other parents, despite the side-effects.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
