Prenatal vitamins do do wonderful things such as make your fingernails stronger, make your hair grow faster and stronger.

HOWEVER, before an 11-year-old child takes anything in an adult dose I would ask her physician or pediatrician.

You had another person say crushed up in shampoo works... I cannot think of a reason that would be harmful, but before she ingests the vitamin, you need to check with a doctor. Prenatals are jam packed with tons of vitamins and at rather substantial doses to not only improve the health of a growing baby but also prepare the mother for labor and delivery. Many prenatals contain vitamins and minerals that cannot be taken in large amounts by children not the least of which is iron.

They can also occasionally have some nasty side effects such as vomiting and diarrhea (but this may be primarily caused by the raging hormone fluctuation of a pregnant woman added to the increase of vitamin intake).

Just be careful. At 11 she may feel all grown up but in the medical world, she is still just a kid.

Best of luck.

shampoo it works too.
