Children tend to be picky eaters, making it challenging for them to consume all the essential minerals and nutrients their bodies require. Chewable vitamins offer an easy and tasty solution to supplement their diets with essential minerals and nutrients.
Gummy supplements come in all shapes and sizes, but only certain brands stand out as worthy investments. The most successful gummy vitamins feature natural ingredients with clean label standards for easy storage.
They’re Easy to Chew
Chewable vitamins offer an ideal solution for people who struggle to swallow tablets, including children. While toddlers and young kids may be adept at swallowing larger pills or capsules, swallowing larger pills or capsules may pose a choking hazard and make it challenging for them to obtain essential nutrition they require to grow and thrive.
Gummy vitamins are popular with both children and adults due to their candy-like consistency and sweet flavors, yet there are certain issues associated with gummy multivitamins such as their high sugar content and questionable ingredients such as sorbitol that could potentially cause digestive issues for those who are sensitive to it.
Chewable vitamin supplements provide the best of both worlds: they’re easy to chew while having more of a tablet-like structure than gummies and contain more nutrients per gram than their gummy counterparts. Vitaquest’s R&D department can assist you in designing customized chewable supplements that are healthy, safe, and simple to consume.
They’re Great for Kids
Chewable vitamins offer an enjoyable and nutritional alternative to pills for kids. Their formula can be tailored specifically to each child, providing delicious flavors with multiple sweetening options and providing a pleasant mouthfeel while meeting clean-label standards.
Chewable vitamins can also make an effective addition to younger kids, who may be too young to recognize the difference between vitamins and candy. Chewables offer an easy way for your children to get key nutrients – iron for healthy growth, Vitamin A & C for immune support – into their diets!
However, it’s important to remember that chewable multivitamins can’t replace eating healthy and providing your child with fresh foods rich in essential vitamins and minerals necessary for optimal health. Doing so can help them meet their dietary requirements as well as build robust immune systems throughout childhood and into adulthood.
They’re Easy to Absorb
Many individuals struggle with swallowing pills, so chewable vitamins provide an easier option. Even older adults and toddlers can easily take their multivitamins in tablet form without worrying that the tablets will be too large – this feature can especially aid those who suffer from a sensitive stomach.
Gummy vitamins are another popular form of dietary supplements, with an estimated global market value exceeding $10 billion. They come in many different shapes, sizes, flavors and colors and may contain multiple vitamins and nutrients.
Chewable multivitamins may also be more readily absorbed by your body than tablets; unlike pills that need to be broken down by digestion, chewable vitamins are already liquid form and thus easily absorbed and processed by the body. That doesn’t mean all gummy vitamins are equal; seek out brands such as Seeking Health that offer high-quality supplements made from active forms of nutrients combined to facilitate absorption, such as their popular Seeking Health Gummy Multis.
They’re Safe
Choose a chewable vitamin to ensure safe supplementation from pill to tablet, and allow your digestive system to quickly absorb them into your system.
Tablets require extra work for digestion, which is why directions typically state they must be taken with food. Chewable vitamins may be easier on your stomach; however, fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E and K must still be taken with a small snack such as yogurt, apples, peanut butter or hummus and seed crackers for best results.
Children often exhibit finicky eating habits and prefer sweeter options or something they find more fun to dip into. Speak to your pediatrician about including a children’s chewable multivitamin supplement in their diets – just keep in mind that younger children might mistake these pills as candy! Store it safely out of reach.
