What do you all recomend for "natural" children's liquid vitamins? I would prefer one with both calcium and iron. Thanks! Sharon

Why do you need liquid vitamins? Chewables are usually excellant for children. For a good liquid childrens vitamin I would consult my doctor on that one.

well my daughter refuses to take the chewables. So i need something I can put in her juice. I've tried to crush up the chewables and put in her juice,but I don't know if she gets any nutrition out of that? Thanks!Sharon

Chewable are fine to put in something but why crush it and put it in a small spoonful of sauce or ice cream and feed it to her. Also if her diet is healthy she may not need vitamin supplements. Most liquid vitamins are pretty nasty smelling and don't taste real good. I would consider sticking with the chewable or with a good non enteric coated regular vitamin and put it in sauce etc.

I may try that! I only buy vitamins from the health food store,because I don't like all the artificial colorings etc.. Nutrition Now(?) makes a gummi bear vitamin that I may try. Thanks! Sharon

Hi peeved, a good children's multi is called KinderLove by the German company Salus-Haus. They are the same company that make the world renowned iron tonic Floradix. They have very high quality products and you shouldn't have a problem finding in at your local health food store.
