There is much controversy surrounding the use of vitamins. However, each of us has to come to our own conclusion about the use of them for our families. So I am not going to debate the pros and cons over this issue. Do your own research and do what is best for you and your family. I just want to share a children’s vitamin our family recently tried – Smarty Pants Gummy Vitamins.
SmartyPants is a great tasting children’s multivitamin. Really. All our children loved them. My oldest pointed out that the are very much like a gum drop and that children could mistake them for candy. The good thing is that there is no iron in these vitamins. However, they should be kept out of reach/sight so children do not mistakenly gobble them up like candy. SmartyPants Gummy Vitamins are an all-in-one multivitamin with eco-friendly DHA & EPA Omega 3s. They meet 100% of the US RDI of Vitamin D and 11-12 other important nutrients. There is no High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) in them and they are gluten and casein free. For moms concerned with sugar intake, there is only 4 grams of organic cane sugar per serving, which is 4 gummines/day. Most of that is straight from the little sample packs we received.
Ingredients include: Organic Cane Sugar, Tapioca Syrup, Gelatin, Pectin, Citric Acid, Natural Flavors, Colors Added (Black Carrot Juice Concentrate, Annatto, Tumeric), Pantothenic acid (as D-calcium pantothenate), Sodium.
SmartyPants is a sponsor of Vitamin Angels, which means that for every bottle sold, a year’s worth of vital nutrients is donated to 2 kids most in need. What a wonderful way to give back!
These gummy vitamins retail for approximately $21.95, but SmartyPants offers several different ordering options. If you visit www.WeAreSmartyPants.com, you will find free information to help you raise a healthy, intelligent child.
SmartyPants Gummy Vitamins gets two thumbs up from our family!
Courtney, thank you for clarifying/adding to the overdose risk. Our children loved them.
