what is a good multivitamin that i can give my five year old he's a very picky eater?

Answer 1

You need to be careful when picking a multivitamin. I've noticed that most people listed Flintstones. Well, if you don't mind flushing your money down the toilet then buy the Flintstones. I've studied nutrition. I can tell you that super market brands of vitamins are loaded with artificial sweetners, color, preservatives, etc. You would be putting crap into your child's body. But on top of that your child will not even absorb the vitamins that his body needs. There are preservatives in the vitamins that inhibit the bodies absorption of the vitamins. It is like he is eating candy and nothing more. Why would you feed a child vitamins that are mostly sugar?

Shop at an actual vitamin store or a health food store. You could try GNC but be careful because some of their products have questionable ingredients. Two brands I can suggest are:

Rhino Gummy Bear Vitamins--from shopnatural.com

I prefer Animal Parade by Nature's Plus. I get these from vitaminshoppe.com They are made with whole food concentrates.

I get all my stuff online because we're overseas but if you have access to a health food store then you might have some luck in locating these products or something similar. They'll be pricier than the super market brands but at least they will actually do what they are supposed to do.

if he is a picky eater try the gummy bear multivitamins...i have tried them before and they taste just like candy so you're kid should have no problem taking them.Flintstones makes a gummy bear version of their vitamin....i will give you the link to the Flinstones website...hope this helps!!

Answer 3

almost any multi vitamin is good for kids (they have to be designed for kids though). name brand doesn't matter so much because the ingredients should be scaled to the needs of the small body. my doc. recommended any over the counter vitamin so the answer for you is which ever your child prefers.

I would caution about the placement of vitamins and them tasting too much like candy. my sister had to be taken to hospital because she thought vitamins were candy and ate a whole bunch!!

this is a good insurance policy but of course you know that the nutrients are best absorbed through food.

Answer 4

Try Flintstones multi vita located wherever vitamines are sold.
Try Vita Gummies they have lots of sweet flavor but healthy too
Try Vita Gum bubble gum for kids who don't like taking or tasting nasty vitamines.
Ask your local doctor it may help you also. I hope I gave you some useful info.

Answer 5

definately gotta go with the pedia sure drinks, the have chocolate, vanilla and strawberry, my 7 year old loves them, it's like chocolate milk or strawberry milk to her. The only vegatable I can get her to eat is corn, loves it. She wont really eat any fruit either, so when it's snack time she drinks one of those along with a snack. I noticed an increase in her energy, she just seemed...better, healthier. :)
