Children's Multivitamin Chewables
BIOVEA
Overview
This children's multivitamin contains a wide array of essential vitamins and minerals, many of which are provided at or above the daily recommended values for children aged 4+. While the inclusion of numerous beneficial nutrients is positive, the 'Superfood Blend' and other plant extracts are likely underdosed, offering minimal practical benefit beyond what's found in a balanced diet. The efficacy relies primarily on the well-dosed core vitamins and minerals.
The Good
Comprehensive Essential Nutrient Profile: Supplies a wide range of vitamins and minerals vital for children's growth and development.
Supports Foundational Health Needs: Addresses potential nutritional gaps important for immune function, bone health, and energy metabolism.
Chewable Format: Convenient and appealing for children, making adherence easier.
The Bad
Artificial Sweeteners: Contains fructose, and potential for other artificial flavors and colorings not explicitly listed but common in chewables.
Added Sugars: Contains 2g of added sugars per serving, contributing to daily sugar intake.
Vitamin D Form: Uses Vitamin D2, which is less effective than Vitamin D3 in raising and maintaining serum vitamin D levels.
Is it for you?
Best For: Children, picky eaters, children with dietary gaps
Skip If: Your child has specific allergies to ingredients, or if they already receive adequate nutrients from diet.
