Kids Multivitamins

Kids multivitamins combine several vitamins and minerals in child-friendly formats such as gummies, chewable tablets, liquids, drops and powders. Formulas vary significantly: some provide a broad range of nutrients, while others focus on selected vitamins or minerals. Children’s products generally contain smaller amounts than adult formulas, but they should still complement rather than replace a varied diet. Choose according to the child’s exact age, dietary pattern and professional advice rather than selecting the formula with the longest ingredient list. Compare the amount of each nutrient, daily serving, added sugar, sweeteners and allergens, and check for duplicated nutrients when another supplement is already being used. Excessive amounts of iron, vitamin A, zinc and some other nutrients can be harmful, so keep all supplements securely away from children.
