Has potential to be perfected
I'd like to start out by saying I can appreciate the time and effort that goes into creating good products like this. The amounts of vitamins in these are close to excellent. These are a little low on Vitamin E, vitamin K, Choline, and Magnesium. I still appreciate these tiny, easy to swallow children's multi-vitamins. They certainly pack a lot for being so tiny. They are so small that it is a little difficult to open them up to sprinkle into my babies juices. It goes best in grape juice or something like a smoothy if they are old enough to notice, but never milk, dont even take them with milk. But my 7 year old and 10 year old had no worries or even hesitated to swallow 3 at once. Yes, I was shocked.<br /><br /> But there are a few other small down sides. So these lack Vitamin E, K, Choline,and magnesium. The label doesn't reassure me enough that none of the vitamins are synthetic. So I have to do research to find out for sure. I do notice the additive called magnesium stearate, which is an oil additive that prevents clumping BUT<br />may or may not be harmful. I'm not sure how effective magnesium stearate is, but it is still a little controversial and should be left out. Other companies are stepping up to the plate in the organic field and it wont be long before the controversial additives and synthetic ingredients are absent with a larger variety of quality product for consumers to commit to.<br />Since this multi-vitamin is lacking all of those vitamins and needs an oil based additive, I believe Wheat Germ Oil would be the perfect supplement for the magnesium stearate. It has everything this multi-vitamin is missing. Which is Vitamin E, K, choline and both Omega-3's and Omega-6's. And Fats are definitely important. How convenient.<br />Wheat Germ Oil:<br />Phytosterols 1206mg<br />Choline 43.6mg<br />Vitamin E (Alpha Tocopherol) 326mg<br />Vitamin K 53.9 mcg<br />Total trans-polyenoic fatty acids<br /> Total Omega-3 fatty acids 15044mg<br />Total Omega-6 fatty acids. 119457mg<br />Total Fat 218g 335%<br />Saturated Fat 41.0 g<br />Monounsaturated Fat 32.9g<br />Polyunsaturated Fat 135g<br /><br />And BTW this vitamin does state on the back that vitamin E's DV% is fulfilled, but from what I've learned it's falling very short. 10IU is not enough. But like I said, The amounts of vitamins in this childrens multi vitamin are impressive, easy to swallow, and mixes well with juice in baba's for the babies who can't swallow them. I will purchase again. Until I find something even better.
