Children’s health gummies provide essential vitamins and minerals in an easy-to-swallow candy form that may improve compliance among picky eaters, as well as fill in nutritional gaps due to poor diets. These supplements may also help improve compliance for picky eaters.
Gummy vitamins should supplement rather than replace nutritious whole food sources for maximum benefit and safety standards compliance. Read on to understand when they might be useful and how you can select quality products that comply.
Promotes Healthy Growth
Kids need a wide variety of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin D, calcium, and iron. Unfortunately, many gummy multivitamins contain too much of certain nutrients while not enough of others.
This study is the first ever conducted to analyze nutrient levels of supplements marketed specifically as for children in Canada’s retail market. Its strengths include using a large dataset, visiting stores to collect supplements rather than depending solely on websites, and having multiple research assistants verify data accuracy.
This study’s primary weakness is its failure to account for how different supplements might differ from each other; for instance, four Disney Finding Nemo Omega-3 Gummies contain an equal DHA/EPA dose as 15 Treehouse Max & Ruby omega-3 gummies from Treehouse Max & Ruby; this highlights how product dosage levels may be highly misleading; parents must compare various supplements carefully when making informed choices.
Improves Energy & Mood
At nighttime in today’s hectic and loud world, helping children relax can be challenging. From screens and homework assignments to after school activities and excitement-induced dreams, children often become wired by bedtime; Tonic Kids Calm Gummies provide them with an effective means of turning chaos into calmness.
Kids multivitamin gummies offer a delicious way to provide their daily dose of essential vitamins and nutrients without added sugar, artificial flavors or sweeteners, or allergens like gluten, dairy, soy or peanuts.
Some gummies come with extra benefits, like probiotics for digestive health or elderberry extract for immune support. But it is important to make an informed choice and read labels thoroughly when making these choices.
Supports Teeth & Eyes
Gummies offer a quick and convenient way for children to supplement any nutritional gaps in their diets, but relying solely on these supplements may create deficiencies elsewhere that are important for overall wellness. Instead, encourage a diet rich with fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins in order to promote both dental health and overall wellness.
Gummy vitamins with their sweet, fruity flavors may be mistaken by children for candy, leading to unintentional overconsumption that could damage teeth. Furthermore, their sticky residue often remains on teeth after consumption allowing bacteria to flourish resulting in biofilm formation and potentially increasing cavities risk.
Strategically timed vitamin intake can reduce its damaging effects, such as when chewed prior to breakfast or bedtime when saliva production naturally declines. Furthermore, encouraging your child to rinse his/her mouth with water after taking gummy vitamins may wash away any residual sugars or food particles left behind after consumption and strengthen enamel against further damage. Regular dental checkups will remove stubborn acidic deposits which may be difficult to address at home while strengthening it against further wear.
