Avoid Random Dietary Supplementation

  • Due to their different natures, different drugs can boost various functions. Therefore, dietary supplementation cannot be randomly applied.
  • Infants are vigorous and energetic. As long as they are appropriately fed and cared, they can naturally grow and develop normally.
