What supplements/ vitamins would you recommend to be given children ages 8-15years and why. I have previously given my kids Vit C supplement but not for a few years. I would love to know what you would recommend and why thanks

Fish oil/omega 3 is a good one to take I think. Theres a correlation between many health benefits and eating fish, probably better eating fish than taking supplements but it wouldn't hurt.
Most supplements have negligible impact on overall health though, most scientists agree the majority are a waste of money.
