Let’s talk kids’ vitamins —because we all want something clean and kid-approved! First: Multivitamins aren’t always necessary. If your child is eating a variety of whole, real foods, they may be getting what they need (except vit D which is hard to get enough of in our food). But if you’re looking for support or peace of mind, here’s a breakdown of 3 popular, cleaner options we’ve tried: 1. Hiya Health -We’ve used their multi & separate iron supplement Pros: • Sugar-free (sweetened with monk fruit) • Chewable tablet (no gummy residue on teeth) • 15+ essential vitamins & minerals • Clean ingredients, no artificial dyes • Recyclable & refillable glass bottle Cons: • Subscription only (gets cheaper the more kids on the subscription) • Chalky texture—not every kid loves it 2. Llama Naturals -We use their multi, pre-/probiotic, and vit D3 Pros: • Real-food-based (fruit + veggie concentrates) • Naturally sweetened, no added sugar • Gummy texture without syrups (doesn’t stick to teeth like some other gummies) • No synthetic vitamins or artificial dyes Cons: • Some kids don’t love the taste/texture • Packaged in plastic containers 3. MaryRuth’s -We’ve used a wide variety of their supplements Pros: • Tasty + soft gummy texture • Organic ingredients, vegan, non-GMO • Wide age range • No gelatin or artificial dyes Cons: • Sweetened with organic cane sugar + tapioca syrup • Higher sugar content than other options • Packaged in plastic Bottom line? There’s no one-size-fits-all. It depends on your kiddo, your priorities, and your budget. Tip: wait for sales or promotions then stock up - you can find Llama Naturals and Mary Ruth’s on Amazon or their website (Hiya only on their website). We’re currently using LN, but have tried the other two and do like them. I personally prefer to add iron supplementation a couple times a week as well as vit D and probiotics daily (but I never stress if I miss a day). For my little guy, I use the liquid varieties from Mary Ruth’s. scrunchysuburbanmama kidsvitamins lowertoxliving llamanaturals hiyahealth maryruths
