Should Your Child Drink Mosegor Vita?

This post is about our family's experience with Mosegor vitamins and how I personally view the risks of taking it. Mosegor side effects may vary from one person to another. I recommend that those who plan to take Mosegor vita vitamins consult with their health care providers first.
A few months back, somebody recommended that my son take Mosegor for kids because he was not eating enough and was losing weight.

Mosegor and CNS stimulation

I bought the mosegor vita syrup vitamins from the pharmacy but after reading the leaflet enclosed in the mosegor vitamins packaging, I felt doubtful about giving it to my son. The leaflet says that the side effects of mosegor vita include sedation and CNS stimulation.

What is CNS stimulation?

CNS stimulation, according to this site, can include restlessness, lightheadedness, tremors, confusion and hallucinations.

I discussed with other moms about the Mosegor vita complex and one mentioned that her son had tantrums and became hot headed when she gave him the appetite stimulating vitamin. According to her, the tantrums stopped after she stopped giving mosegor to her son. Some parents, however, said that their children who were taking the vitamin became healthier and looked better.

I decided to switch vitamins anyway. My son is using Potencee and Ferlin iron supplement right now. Fortunately, my son is now eating well and I do not have to worry (yet) about giving him vitamins that can stimulate appetite.

* Mosegor syrup (sometimes misspelled as mosigor vita) is sold in the Philippines to aid in weight gain. Mosegor vita capsule and tablets are also available for adults.

Hi! my son is taking mosegor vita syrup because he is under weight before. Now, after consuming two bottles, he gained weight. His appetite not only in eating but also in sleeping increased. He eats and sleeps a lot now. The side effect of sedation and CNS in not visible because I give him the vitamins before bedtime. My son now is more healthy and happy child. Maybe because he has enough sleep and more nourished. His tantrums is tolerable. It's just normal for a 3 year old child to have tantrums sometimes. I only feed my child healthy foods like vegetables and fruits everyday. Green leafy and yellow vegetables is always present on our table. Malunggay, squash, camite top, alugbate, kangkong, saluyot, sitaw and many more.
Moreover, my childs ashtma attacks decreases because the B complex in Mosegor vita helps a lot.

Gigi,

It is good to know that Mosegor Vita has good effects on your son. Some children do respond positively to this vitamin while others do not.

I agree with you about feeding children with healthy foods. One of the things I consider when preparing food for my son (and my family) is the natural color of the food. I try to serve fruits or vegetables of at least 5 different colors everyday (Malunggay, saluyot, sitaw- green; kalabasa- yellow; carrots- orange; natural grape juice, raisins, talong-violet; apple, bell pepper, tomato- red; etc). Preferably the servings and colors are varied everyday :-)

Buddy,
I always thought that mosegor vita is for weight gain but I'm not a doctor. I guess, it will be best if you ask your doctor about it. Ask him how the mosegor vita can address your health problem

As of now I am still on the first week of taking the vita, at first I was so hesitant to use this product after hearing some negative things,but as I observe, things are being nice,I am pleased with the effect..I just recommend you to take this during your night time,at least before you sleep for you not to experience some irregularities. thats it..but be sure to ask your physician before anything else..dont take risk..We own a manufacturing company of glutathione and all other food supplements,but I am telling you,results are depending on each body system and reaction to the med..

I and my sister were in high school when our mother introduced to us Mosegor. These little tablets really, really made me so sleepy so I usually take it before bed time. I also remember way back when my mom told me and my sister to not mention Mosegor to our little brother's babysitter who might also get sleepy during the day and therefore might make her spend her time always sleeping instead of babysitting our baby brother. However, we soon discovered that she also bought some Mosegor for herself--and, indeed, she always woke up late in the morning and even naps longer in the afternoons. Hehehe!

my son is 2yrs old and i try to change his vitamins kz suggest ng mom ko super effective dw yan. Nung try ko buy small bottle nyang syrup napansin ko nga gumana sa food baby ko. (Ung small bottle good for 7-10days lng ata... basta remember ko sa sobrang liit nung bottle, nde un tumagal ng 2weeks). so i decided to continue and buy the biggest bottle na para mejo matagal maubos. After 3-4weeks taking the syrup including the 1st small bottle... nagiging sleepless na xa but still hyper padin, ung tipong ggcng xa ng 10am (magdamag gising! nde natutulog ng tanghali) then sleep xa 12am and sometimes 2am pa, super late na! pansin ko din na nagiging bit moody xa (swinging mood!) and the worst is nawalan xa bigla ng ganang kumain. Kng gaano xa kagana kumain nung 1-2nd week nya take nung syrup... kabaliktaran nmn nang ika 3-4th weeks na nya take yan. Kya i decided to stop giving him the syrup muna... cguro ipapag take ko nlng xa ulit after 2-3weeks nyan pra nde masayang kz meron pa cguro mga 3/5 na laman ung bottled syrup.

My nephew (3 yrs old) and niece (6 yrs old) are taking mosegor for almost 2 months now. They became hungry almost all the time, so they ate and became fat. and its ok. They sleep earlier now than before. They usually sleep past 12 midnight, sometimes even until 2am. They keep playing and watching tv. With mosegor, they get sleepy between 10pm-12midnight. Still im not satisfied. I want them to be in bed by 9pm. So i am thinking of letting them take the vitamins by 4pm instead of 7pm (dinner time) because base on my observation, the sleepiness attacks them after 5 hours of taking the vitamins. So from 7pm, they get sleepy 5 hours after that.. If they will take it by 4pm, they might be in bed by 9pm! i will try it today.. hope it works!
