Vitamins for Kids
You know how you always want to make sure your kids are eating their veggies, fruits, and good proteins and you work hard to make sure each meal has a little of everything they need and how they NEVER seem to want to eat it? Or maybe they only eat parts of it like Mr. T who is a meat and carb lover but isn’t fond of fruits or veggies. Whatever the reason, most of us feel like our children would benefit from vitamins.
But gracious! Have you seen all those sugary, gummie, artificially colored “healthy” supplements marketed to kids? Allergy families really have to watch because there is such a prevalent use of soy and gluten. What is a parent to do?
We happened upon MegaFoods vitamins about a year ago when our pediatrician suggested a B complex vitamin for Mr. T. The Kids B Complex are gluten free, soy free, vegetarian, dairy free, and NonGMO. Mr. T can swallow pills and has since he was 3 so that wasn’t an issue. Mr. F cannot at all, so we were delighted to partner with Moms Meet to try these new MegaFoods Kids Vitamin Powders! All the same awesome whole food vitamins, none of the junk, and an easy to swallow powder. And the extra bonus is how easy they are to “hide”. Check out our B-Centered Apple Pie Energy Bites below to see just how easy they are to add!
