Improvement of the quality and increasing the quantity of food, prophylactic administration of polyvitamins in the periods of higher vitamin deficiency would be effective and real ways for optimization of vitamin status of children. Dragee "Undevitum" and "Hexavitum" proved to be most effective among the prophylactic polyvitamins, the synergy of action of their components provides the improvement in the values of renal excretion of vitamins and their metabolites, as well as reduction in the frequency of micro-symptoms of polyvitamin deficiency.
