My daughter loves them!
I'm a nutritionist and have found it difficult to find a vitamin that is nutrient dense, but also tastes great... so kids will actually take them.My daughter loved the Flintstone Vitamins but I was afraid she just wasn't getting enough nutrients so I purchased a few different kinds of vitamins and every single one she spit out. A children's multi-vitamin/mineral isn't worth anything, if you can't get them down! So, I was a little skeptical of her reaction since these are a bit on the pricey side, but she LOVES them... and that means I love them!We got the all cherry-flavored bottle which I am so grateful for. They are a bit tangy/tart but every morning my daughter reminds me she needs her vitamins so I think that speaks for itself.On the nutrition side- I think the most important thing we as parents have to remember, vitamin/mineral supplements are only one step. Its an insurance policy... make sure they get as many nutrients as possible during the day through food sources, and if something is lacking a bit that day, the vitamin/mineral supplement fills in the gaps. I think a lot of people get to hung up on certain levels of nutrients in these not all being 100%... usually there is a reason. For example, calcium. Calcium is too large to fit into a multi vitmain/mineral supplement. Thats why we see it sold separately in such large pills. Also, your body can only absorb so much at a time... generally about 1/2 of your daily intake. Things like this is why you will never see 100% of everything in a supplement. Same with Omega-3... If your child doesn't regularly eat fish, you need to supplement omega-3 separately not in a multi bitamin/mineral supplement.With all of that being said, this is one of the most comprehensive multi vitmain/mineral supplements I have found for children.Ver másVer menos
