Can children be given hematogen?

Can children be given hematogen? It used to be thought that a growing body would benefit from it.

The host of the program “On the Most Important”, Dr. Tatiana Shapovalenko, answers:

– Hematogen is a biologically active additive, which is prescribed to stimulate hematopoiesis and prevent anemia with iron deficiency anemia, gastrointestinal ulcers, lack of vitamins, etc. Children under 10 years old can eat 25 g, and adults – 50 g per day. Due to the high content of sugar, molasses and condensed milk, hematogen is undesirable for overweight and diabetes.
