I have two sons 15 and 12. The oldest can swallow pills but not the youngest. (can't or won't...) They used to chew Flintstones vitamins in the BLUE box (regular). Now I can't find these anywhere and all the other brands I've tried they do not like and give me trouble taking them. Recently have tried Spiderman, ScoobyDoo, even gummy-types and gumball vitamins. The gumball vitamins were a while ago when my son didn't have braces.

Does anyone know of a chewable vitamin that kids don't mind chewing? What bothers them is the vitaminy taste and aftertaste.

thanks!

I bought some vitamins at Vitamin World in the mall and my daughters just love them. First thing in the morning they beg me to get them a vitamin. The bottle I bought was very cheap and has 250 tablets. It is called:
Children's Animal Shaped Chewables
Multi-Vitamin, Muti-Mineral Formula
Orange Flavor
And it has an elephant and tiger on a tight rope and a hippo standing on the side like a circus. Hope you can find them, my kids love them, they are 6 and 9.

I know this sounds dumb but gummie bears. My daughter would not eat a vitamin to save her life. I talked to the doctor about it and he suggested gummie vitamins. I got them at the drug store and even cosco carries them. They taste exactly like candy but are chalked full of good stuff. Hope this helps.
