Nature's Plus, Source Of Life Animal Parade Gold, Children'S Chewable Multi-Vitamin & Mineral Supplement, Natural Cherry Flavor, 120 Animal-Shaped Tablets

Sehr gut

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.

I did a lot of research on vitamins before deciding on Animal Parade. This seems to be one of the only brands that is all natural and is free from sugar, artificial colors, preservatives, yeast, wheat, soy and milk!!!They are sweetened with xylitol, which is a naturally occurring compound found in berries, vegetables and mushrooms and has been shown to have decay-preventative properties and reduce oral bacteria. Additionally, it contains 40% less calories than sugar and is absorbed more slowly, helping to support stable blood sugar.The only issue is that although there are 120 tablets your child has to take two a day.Here is a link for all the Supplement Facts: [...]"Two chewable tablets supply a wide array of essential vitamins, including 100% of the Daily Value (DV) for highly bioavailable vitamin D3, plus vitamins A, C, E, B12, B6 and other B vitamins. In a base of nature's most healthful whole foods, including spirulina, carrot, broccoli, whole brown rice and spinach, Animal Parade Sugar Free Multi Chewables feature the cutting-edge nutrition of our Organic Nutrient Source Whole Food Blend, with the immune-supporting phytonutrient benefits of eight different mushrooms, plus holy basil, lemon, guava and amla (a source of naturally occurring B vitamins and Vitamin C)."

Ich bin absolut begeistert von diesem Produkt, zumal ich ewig auf der Suche nach einem Multivitamin Präparat für meine drei Kinder war, dass vegan ist und vor allem keinen Zucker oder Süßstoff enthält!On Top enthält dieses Produkt nicht nur alle lebensnotwendigen Vitamine, Mineralstoffe und Spurenelemente in super guter Dosierung, sondern zugleich auch die erforderliche Menge an Probiotika!Beispiel:Vor fünf Tagen kam der Kleinste mit einer Magen-Darm-Grippe aus dem Kindergarten heim, er musste sich dank der Vitamine im Gegensatz zu sonst nur einmal übergeben und war danach sofort wieder fit. Meine zwei anderen Kinder haben sich nicht wie sonst angesteckt, fühlten einen Tag später lediglich leichte Bauchschmerzen und ein bisschen Kreislauf. Und das, obwohl um uns herum gefühlt die halbe Stadt grad flach liegt!Auch sonst merke ich einen klaren Unterschied im Immunsystem meiner Kinder, seit dem sie diese Vitamine nehmen.Zum Geschmack:Ich finde ihn super lecker nach Kirsche und Dank dem Xylitol (= super gesunder Birkenzucker) angenehm süß!Nur wenn man man das Produkt komplett lutscht, verliert es ganz zum Schluss den Fruchgeschmack und schmeckt ein bisschen pappig. Deshalb lutschen wir kurz an und kauen dann... ; )Meine zwei Jungs mit vier und sieben Jahren muss ich manchmal ein bisschen überreden, aber sie nehmen sie anstandslos!Für meine Tochter (13 Jahre alt) ist es geschmacklich das beste Vitamipräparat der Welt! *smile*Im Vergleich mit den synthetischen Produkten die auf dem Markt sind, selbst den natürlichen, welche doch alle in irgendeiner Form Zucker enthalten, und das dann meistens auch noch an erster Stelle, ist dies Produkt mit Abstand meine erste Wahl!Was will ich mit einem Multivitaminpräparat, das Dank dem enthaltenen Zucker der Darmflora meiner Kinder letztlich mehr schadet, als nutzt?

My 2.5 year old won't take these. He loves any type of candy (unfortunately). When I told him here is a new animal treat, he took it excited... then spit it right out. I tried one, not bad, but definitely not super yummy like he'd like. It is fruity but you can definitely taste the "vitamins" in it. I still recommend though as they are loaded with great ingredients and price is excellent. I will try again in a few months with my son. He's super picky and smart enough to figure out I think that these are not his usual "treats." Great product I hope we will be able use soon.
