Pixie Vites
Dr. Fuhrman
Overview
Pixie Vites aims to provide a broad spectrum of essential vitamins and minerals to support children's health. The formulation includes age-appropriate dosing for younger and older children, along with a fruit and vegetable blend for added phytonutrients. However, many of the vitamins are dosed at below the RDA/DV for adults and older children, potentially limiting their overall impact. The extremely high dose of Vitamin B12 may be excessive for some children.
The Good
Broad Spectrum: Supplies a comprehensive array of vitamins and minerals
Age-Appropriate Dosing: The doses are designed to cater to different age groups of children (1-4 and 4+)
Allergen-Free: Does not contain common allergens, making it suitable for children with sensitivities
The Bad
Relatively Low Doses: Many vitamins and minerals are present in amounts that are less than half of the recommended daily allowance for adults.
Unknown Bioavailability: The formulation lacks information on ingredient forms and bioavailability
Contains Added Sugars: The presence of xylitol and natural flavors may be a concern for some parents.
Is it for you?
Best For: Children, individuals with dietary gaps, picky eaters
Skip If: Your child has specific allergies to common vitamin ingredients or is already receiving adequate nutrition from diet.
