Nature's Plus Source of Life Animal Parade Gold Children's 120 Chewable Multi-Vitamin and Mineral Supplement

One of the best Children's Multi-Vitamin's available, and the price is right. Are there cheaper alternatives? Sure. But are there cheaper alternatives that pack this much nutrition? Not that I have found. I worked for a few years at a Health and Nutrition store so I know what to look for in a quality multi-vitamin, and Nature's Plus has put together a great product. The flavors the vitamins come in are cherry, orange, and grape. They come in a few different animal shapes (lions, tigers, elephants, and hippos, I believe). My 3 kids love when they get them each morning, and have never complained about the taste. Plus they are sweetened with Xylitol which doesn't add sugar to their diet and which is actually great for your teeth (though don't give it to the dog). I was especially pleased to see they included a good amount of the better Vitamin D (D3) rather than what many cheaper alternatives use (D2). They also included K2, which is rare in a children's multi. And it has probiotic and superfoods in addition to the vitamins and minerals! I do wish they would have used methylcobalamin instead of cyanocobalamin for the B12, but nothing can be perfect. Try this multi out for your kids, they are sure to love it!

I got these for my two year old son, to make sure he is getting all the nutrients he needs. We were originally using a different brand, but thought we would try something new. He really likes these vitamins, and actually asks for them each evening. He even tries to get extras in the morning. He seems to like the taste (though, honestly, I was not a huge fan myself, it tasted slightly metallic to me). They are a nice small size, so it is not too much for him to chew. He has been on them for about a month now, and I have noticed him getting slightly less sick at daycare. I am not sure if this is a coincidence, or if it is because of the switch in vitamins. My son also likes that there are a variety of animal shapes, which we can use to help with "what sound does a ..... make". Overall, we will most likely purchase these again once the first bottle runs out. Amazon's "Verified Purchase" indicator shows that this review matches an actual product ordered and delivered from Amazon. I have been working recently to try to write detailed reviews based on my actual experience with these products, as a wife and mom in her late 30’s. If you have found this review helpful, I’d love if you’d indicate that below. This would help me greatly to know if I am making a difference with the effort to write better reviews, and be a better member of the Amazon community of buyers.

My kiddo has been taking these vitamins since she was about 18 months old. Started off with one per day, then eventually 2 as they got older due to the vitamin content being quite high. They enjoy the taste and shape of the animals (even played airplane!); and the colors are eye catching for a toddler. The main reason I bought these were because they’re not made with artificial sweeteners or colors, and with having xylitol I figured they’d help prevent cavities. My kiddo hasn’t had a single cavity. None. They’ll be 7 next week and have been taking these everyday. The quality has been amazing and the size helps it last a while. 10/10 recommend to for every kid to take - as well as grown ups! Has been on my subscribe and save for years.

My 4 year old has been taking this for about a year and loves the taste. She asks for her vitamins around afternoon snack time, like a treat. She has a well rounded diet with lots of veggies and fruit, and I believe these vitamins help her digestion and mood overall. They certainly help with things we need in northern latitudes (vitamin D, etc.). I have tasted them and find them to be flavorful and sweet, so I know they are good, but they are a bit chalky (like a Flintstones vitamin) and slightly tart (like actual fruit) in case you have a picky eater.

My kids love it except for the middle of thevitamins, especially the grape flavored which is so bad. Hence why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. These vitamins has clean ingredients which is a plus.
