L'il Critters Gummy Vites Complete Multivitamin, 190 Count

Most children's vitamins contain a laundry list of additives that serve absolutely no nutritional purpose whatsoever. Refined sugars, sorbitol, ferrous fumarate, hydrogenated soybean oil, GM corn starch, and artificial, aluminum-based food colorings top the list of questionable additives in children's multivitamins. Also included in the mix is a host of synthetic compounds labeled as vitamins, all of which have minimal bioavailability. Interestingly, many of the ingredients promoted in children's vitamins are promoted as helping children get their daily intake of nutrients are actually listed as hazardous or outright banned in places like the European Union (EU), where additive safety is taken more seriously. Cupric oxide, for instance, which is listed as a supposedly nutritional source of copper in children's vitamins, is actually classified as a "hazardous substance" in the EU's Dangerous Substance Directive. Similarly, zinc oxide, which is often added to conventional sunscreen products, is listed as a substance that is "dangerous for the environment." Not only is zinc oxide a poor choice for a zinc supplement as the human body can hardly recognize or use it, but the EU Dangerous Substance Directive considers the substance to be an environmental hazard - how, then, can it be considered healthy for children to ingest? Then there is the issue of the extreme neurotoxicity of aspartame, which has no place in the human food supply, let alone in children's multivitamins. And the same goes for artificial colors, which have been shown in scientific studies to trigger attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and various other behavioral disorders in children - why add these to vitamins in the first place? What bothers me the most is that not one single food or drug company has to list all of their ingredients on the packaging, and that is 100% legal with the F.D.A. America needs much tighter restrictions on the things that are allowed in our food and supplements but as long as the F.D.A. stands by and does nothing, we will get what they give us. If you are looking for a children's multi then I would recommend a whole food-based vitamin supplement brands like MegaFood, Garden of Life, and Pure Synergy. These brands use vitamins and nutrients derived from whole foods rather than laboratory concoctions, which means the body can assimilate them more effectively.

El producto es muy bueno, pero las especificaciones indicaba que venían 2 botes cuando en realidad es solo uno el proveedor debe corregir. Nunca he tenido problemas con el producto siempre llega sin defectos.

My son was getting sick almost every other week throughout the winter. I purchased these along with the immune c 1.5 months ago and he has not gotten sick once since he started taking them!He loves the taste and asks for them every day. I started taking them myself too, I would always forget to take my other vitamins but not these - they truly do taste just like gummy bears. Highly recommended!Update: Here we are another 1.5 months down the road and my son has only gotten sick once, and his fever/illness only lasted one day! He has not missed a single day of school (his one illness was on a weekend) since he started taking these vitamins! I am a believer!

My toddler loves them. Sometimes I also get one or two because I love them too😀

Our pediatrician recommended this particular brand. This vitamin isn't sugary like their calcium vitamin, but my kids will still eat them. They like the red ones better than the orange or yellow. The vitamins do get stuck together, but you can pull them apart.It can be a little bit difficult to get them out of the bottle if they are all stuck together, though. I would buy them anyway because our doctor likes the range and amount of vitamins included in each "bear."

I have nothing negative to say about these vitamins. I've read the labels of every kid's vitamin I've found, from the health food store to the grocery store to the drug store... Gummy Vites have the most complete vitamin list I've found.As far as taste, every bottle I've purchased in the store or on Amazon have been fresh and soft. They're a little bit stuck together, but no more than gummy bears in the candy aisle are. My kidlet will eat every flavor in the jar.Note that these are only meant for kids 2 and up. If your kidlet can't eat gummy bears, they won't be able to eat these vitamins.

I'm very pleased with the quickness of getting the Gummy Vites ... we had just run out and needed more for our two littlest ones and it wasn't more than a couple of days between when I ordered and when they arrived. The girls love them, not a bitter, sour taste, but they think of them as Vitamin C (we use to have orange flavored chewables). The subscription option not only has been fast, but also makes it as cheap if not cheaper than going to the store. No shipping charges, and certainly no gas to go get them. Thanks Amazon!
