Vita-Kids™ provided by Douglas Laboratories® is a great tasting, chewable multiple vitamin-mineral trace element supplement designed for children ages four and up. The unique teddy bear shaped Vita- Kids™ chewable tablets provide 27 vitamins, minerals and trace elements in bioavailable forms and nutritionally meaningful amounts.

Studies show that a high percentage of children in North America and other developed countries eat less than the minimum daily allowance of many essential nutrients. Adequate amounts and proper balance of these nutrients are needed not only for maintaining good health, but also for satisfying the special nutritional demands of growth and development during childhood.

Vita-Kids™ has been carefully designed and formulated to contain the right proportions of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements without danger of toxic build-up and without side effects. Each ingredient is selected in consideration of its absorbability, competitive relationship with other nutrients, taste, allergenic potential, and long-term safety.

Research shows that above RDA amounts of many vitamins may have significant positive effects on the structure and function of growing bodies. Compared to major brands of childrens chewable multivitamins, the convenient chewable tablets of Vita-Kids™ provide several times the levels of the important antioxidant vitamins C and E. Vita-Kids™ also delivers significantly more than the levels of most B-vitamins of brand-name vitamins, and provides easily absorbable calcium and magnesium, as well as a full spectrum of bioavailable trace elements.

In fact, Vita-Kids™ is one of the most complete childrens chewable multivitamin/mineral formulas on the market. In contrast to typical childrens vitamins, vitamin D is intentionally kept low, because it can be potentially toxic in high amounts, and regular diets already provide generous amounts of vitamin D. Vita- Kids™ uses only the purest, most hypoallergenic ingredients and contains no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.
