Pedia Vites Natural Citrus Flavor
MNP Michael's Naturopathic Programs
Overview
Pedia Vites provides a comprehensive range of vitamins and zinc at doses that meet or significantly exceed the daily values for infants and young children, supporting general growth and development. However, the absence of iron, a crucial micronutrient for this age group, may be a notable omission depending on the child's dietary intake and specific needs.
The Good
Comprehensive blend of essential vitamins (A, C, D3, B-complex) and zinc, supporting overall infant and toddler health.
Clear, age-specific dosing instructions for infants 7-12 months and children 1-3 years.
Liquid form may be easier for infants and young children to consume compared to pills or chewables.
The Bad
Potential for exceeding upper intake levels for some vitamins due to high daily values, particularly for infants (e.g., Vitamin A 138% DV) and children under 4 (e.g., Vitamin C 667% DV, Vitamin B12 667% DV, Riboflavin 320% DV)
Contains potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate, which are synthetic preservatives, potentially contradicting a "natural" product claim
Not suitable for vegetarians according to the label, which limits its applicability
