S.,
Do they not like the taste? Can you crush up the vitamin and add water, or if it is a fruit flavored one, put it in their juice?
My son loves the Koala Pals and also the Natures Plus- Animal Parade. These are both good quality vitamins for your children as well- and they aren't jelly like, so you would have no problem crushing them between two spoons!

I'm with a company whose nutrition is in powder form and then you just mix with a cold liquid of your choice. We also have a product called Kid's NOW (which stands for nourishing our world), which is specially formulated for children. These product work and I can connect you to other moms to hear their results with their children. My website is https://livelife.reliv.com. Let me know if I can be of help! --R. H.

What about the gummy vitamins? They taste like fruit snacks.

Hi S.---I work with a company that makes a whole food based supplement, made from the dehydrated juice powders of 15 different fruits and veggies and the bran of 2 grains. The powders are put into capsules and into a soft chewable that is made with fruit pectins, not gelatin. It is slightly sweetened (we want the kids to eat these, don't we?) with tapioca syrup and some organic cane juice. A child's serving of the gummies contains a total of 8g of carbs, 4 g of sugar. The packages have a nutrition facts label (which can only be put on food as per the FDA) and NOT a supplement facts label.

This is also the most thoroughly researched food supplement available. Please feel free to contact me directly if you would like to know more about what my family takes for nutrition insurance. I can get you a list of the fruits and veggies in the gummies as well as a summary of the research. Because of that investment in research, we know that these fruit and veggie powders help to: strengthen and balance the immune system (fewer/less severe colds, diminished or eliminated allergies), protect and repair DNA (cancer protection and anti-aging), improve cardiovascular function and many, many more aspects of optimal health.

Give me a call, let's talk and see if this is a fit for you and your family. BTW, here a couple of links on info about man-made, isolated supplements:

Hi,
I also have a business with a whole food supplement company. We have a powder that your children could mix in their juice, etc. It does not contain any artificial colors, sweeteners, flavors, or preservatives. And it's gluten free.

I can give you more information and details if you are interested in researching this.

S.,

Nutritional supplements comes best in addition to a well balanced diet. When we need to supplement, Isotonic nutritional supplements are nature's way, because everything we eat has to turn into isotonic form before our body can absorb them.

Isotonic products are whole food based, comes in a powder that can be mixed with appropriate amount of water. This makes it easy for travel. Isotonic products are 90-95% absorbed in 5-10 minutes. They are bio-available and can do its work as soon as they are in the system. The delivery system comes next only to an IV injection, except, it does not require the needle.

These products are totally customizable as well for your kids needs. You can have your kid's product custom blended at the factory, from digestive enzyme, general multivitamin, to probiotics, Vitamin D, antioxidants, etc. Also, for kids, they not only needs vitamins, there are other products, such as Aloe Vera juice that help boost their immune system and keep them from having the typical infections.

Because Isotonix comes in the powder form, there is no binder, feelers, and no industrial lubricants that tablets have.

Here you can find additional information for children's supplements:

It is really a good idea to take a look at the diet first before jumping into the supplements. As the terms go, it is to supplement what we do not get enough of. If you need additional help. Send me a private message. I will be glad to help in any way I can.

The latest scientific studies continue to show that multi-vitamins don't work and are a waste of our money.

http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/20/news-keeps-getti...

The food we eat is adequate in this country to keep us healthy. Companies that sell vitamin supplements (and several are represented in your responses here) make a lot of profit from the belief, that they have created through marketing, that vitamins are necessary. They are not.

Hi S.,

Thanks for asking this question. My daughter has the same issue with my grandson. As a Granny, you know I love to give the boys treats. Rather than cookies and other empty calorie snacks, I found some great nutritional snacks that let me spoil them and "sneak in" the vitamins and nutrients they need. Feel free to give me a call. ###-###-#### Take care and Happy Holidays - M.

Don't you hate it when you ask a question and the only responses are from people trying to sell you something? lol
I would do a search on Amazon and read reviews on what pops up. Or go to a health food store and ask what they recommend. I just bought some liquid vitamin D3 drops and liquid Vitamin C at our local store. They're out there, just ask.
