Chewable Multivitamin

Chewable Multivitamin meets the needs of on-the-go children and young adults. Each chewable tablet contains crafted mix of vitamins, minerals, and more. The fruit flavoring makes this chewable supplement tasty for younger – and older – picky eaters. And because this is a chewable vitamin, each tablet is easier to swallow and digest.

Chewable Multivitamin is specially formulated so that children as young as 2 years of age can get enough – but not too much -- of the essential nutrients they need each day. A large study found that only 1% of children age 2 to 19 years met the recommended number of servings from each food group in the Food Guide Pyramid. (1) This chewable supplement contains important nutrients that go missing when kids and adults don’t eat right.

The dosages in this chewable vitamin take into consideration the needs of both young and old. A study found that 12 percent of infants and toddlers had deficient levels of Vitamin D and 40 percent were below what researchers considered optimal levels. (2) The same scientists found in another study at more than two-fifths of adolescents had a vitamin D deficiency. (3) Older people, especially women, are at greater risk for Vitamin D deficiency than younger people. (4) Each chewable vitamin contains 50% of the daily value of Vitamin D for people of all ages. By taking the suggested two chewable tablets per day, individuals ages 4 years and older get the full value needed to support good health. And in each chewable multivitamin, they get Vitamin D3, which is considered more effective than the D2 form. (5)

The chewable supplement also provides much-needed calcium. National survey data have shown that most U.S. children older than 8 years do not get the recommended intake of calcium. (6). The two kinds of calcium in this chewable vitamin support teeth and bone development in growing kids. Each chewable tablet contains 11% of the daily value for those under 4 years of age and 9% for those that age and older. Calcium works with Vitamin D to promote healthy bones in older adults. The vitamin D in this chewable supplement must be present in the body in order for it to absorb and use the calcium.

Vitamin A supports good health in many ways, including normal cell growth. Each chewable multivitamin contains 100% of the daily value for children under 4 years of age and 50% of those that age and older. The dosages in this chewable supplement promote not only good vision, but bone growth and a healthy immune system. The retinyl acetate in each chewable tablet converts to Vitamin A. Similarly, the chewable vitamin contains beta-carotene converts to retinol.

The Vitamin C in this chewable multivitamin also plays an important role in developing bodies. It is essential for making the collagen found in bone, teeth, and blood vessels. The vitamin C included in the chewable supplement is also a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the body against damage from free radicals. Each chewable tablet contains 150% of the daily value for those under age 4 and 100% for those that age and older.

The Vitamin E in this chewable vitamin neutralizes free radicals that detract from good health. The vitamin has also plays a role in immune function and DNA protection. Each daily dosage of Vitamin E in this chewable tablet contains the daily value irrespective of age.

Folic acid and Vitamins B6 and B12 in this chewable multivitamin contribute to good health. The folic acid in the chewable supplement helps maintain normal homocysteine levels. Research has shown that too much homocysteine in the blood may be detrimental to good health. Vitamin B12 works with other vitamins to minimize damage to body cell walls. The vitamin is also a natural nerve protector.

Niacin, another B vitamin in this chewable vitamin, supports the proper functioning of skin and nerves, and aids in digestion. Biotin, which belongs to the same vitamin B group, is part of the Chewable Multivitamin formula because its supports formation of fatty acids and glucose. They are broken down in the body for energy. Because the B vitamins in each chewable tablet are soluble in water, they are dispersed throughout the body. They are not stored to any appreciable extent, and must be replenished every day.

The iodine in this chewable supplement supports growth in children. They use this element to form thyroid hormones that increase the metabolic rate, influence protein synthesis and affect other growth-related functions. The hormones are necessary for proper physical development of body cells. The iodine in each chewable vitamin also regulates body metabolism in adults. The iodine in each chewable tablet provides 107% of the daily value in children younger than 4 years of age and 50% in those that age or older.

Iron poisoning is a common cause of poisoning in children today. While children do need a small amount of iron, it can be easily consumed through their regular diet rather than a chewable vitamin. Adults, men and post-menopausal women, like children, do not require any iron in a chewable supplement because excess iron may cause liver damage. Also pregnant women and some other adults have been advised not take iron for health reasons. Therefore, Chewable Multivitamin is iron free. The absence of this mineral in ther chewable tablet eliminates any possibility of accidental overdose.

Chewable Multivitamin contains a sugar substitute, Sorbitol. It contributes to the chewable vitamin's pleasant fruity taste. The complex carbohydrate does not adversely affect blood glucose levels.

Children 2 to 4 years of age should take one tablet of Chewable Multivitamin per day. Males and females aged 5 and up should take two chewable tablets per day. Each bottle of this chewable supplement contains a month’s supply of 60 tablets. NOTE: Diabetics should use this chewable vitamin only under a physician’s supervision.
