Check out this video about Nutritional Supplements with Dr. Noshene Ranjbar, MD & Dr. Amelia Villagomez, MD
Survey done to youth between the age of 7-17 shows that many people are looking for nutraceuticals. Dr. Amelia Villagomez expresses that during monitoring having an abnormal elevated calcium concentration with a Vitamin D deficiency could be because of hypercalcemic disorder that results in hyperparathyroidism which you would want to address instead of giving additional doses of Vitamin D.
Studies have shown that adults who take anti-depressants have a negative association between SSRI use and bone mineral density. It has been known that there is greater rate bone loss and increase risk of fractures with the use of SSRI. Which is why Vitamin D intake in kids are thoroughly checked in children.
In cases of Vitamin B12 Dr. Ranjbar discusses that there has been no recorded/proven study that shows the effects of B12 on adolescent depression. It is more convenient to prescribe broad spectrum micronutrient instead of looking and replacing deficiency on one thing at a time.
Most kids who go through fad diets to lose weight have been identified to become more likely to visit a clinic and admit to having some type of mental health condition which is in part due to reduced nutritional intake efficacy.
