Brief Answer: It's good to take multivitamin syrup Detailed Answer: Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day Dear Ms XXXXXXX As you must be aware the majority of the nutrient absorption takes place in the small intestine so nutritional supplements is not necessary provided you are consuming a well balanced nutritious diet. Colon maim function is absorption of water from formed stools, it helps in conserving water and also causes formation of well formed hard stools from semi liquid contents entering the colon from small intestine. Over a period of time usually 1 to 1 1/2 years this function of the colon is slowly taken over by small intestine especially the illeum by a mechanism known as adaption. So having 6 tk 8 bowel movements per day is perfectly acceptable provided there is no weight loss. As majority of the times the individual may not be consuming well balanced diet, nutritional supplements especially multi vitamin syrup is essential. It will definitely be useful. So I would suggest you the following 1. Eat small quantity of frequent meal instead of three large meals per day. It will be more helpful in absorption. 2. Amino acid supplements especially L Arginine Granules taken in water will be helpful. It will help in intestinal adaption and as well as provide amino acid 3.
