NOW Kids Supplements, Kid Vits Multivitamin, Grape Flavor, 120 Chewable Tablets

Our son has become really finicky in some ways with food, but I got these vitamins for general health and well-being, since he started school in the fall and has been bringing home one illness after another. The trick is getting him to take them. I started with one (the serving size is two tablets) and told him only he could have one because they were kids but that his baby sister was still too little. That got him interested because he could make good use of this information. I then showed him the label with the cartoon character on it and told him it was called "grape splash." More interest. Then I gave him the tablet. He chewed it up. When it was all chewed up, he stuck out his tongue and said, "Yuck!" My wife and I both jumped in with "No, no, no, it's good, it's good, you have to swallow it." And . . . he did. Then he liked it. Later he told me how delicious it was. Tomorrow he may flat refuse to eat on. Or the next day. Or the next. But I'm writing this review now!I've long been a fan of Now products. I like this formula. It's fairly comprehensive, without overdoing the amounts. You can easily halve the dose by just giving one tablet instead of the full two. A full serving is half the RDA of iron for a 4-year-old, so no worries there. At the same time, it's straightforward: A, C, D, E, B complex, iron, iodine, magnesium, calcium, zinc.Two tablets do contain a gram of sugar, so if you're keeping that out of your little one's diet, you may wish to avoid these. For us, unfortunately, a gram of sugar is low, so I'm thinking, Oh good, not too sweet.

They pass the taste test, but just barely. Our kindergartener son is not picky, but he will eat these multis only when given to him. With the fruity sour grape flavor comes a chalky undertone. I think most kids will not look forward to eating these, but they are not horrible and contain a good amount of essential vitamins in the recommended two chewable tablets.We've been familiar with the Now Foods brand for a long time, and they seem trustworthy and these are made and tested in the USA. I was disappointed that the vitamins are lacking any sort of meaningful certifications aside from the GMP facility manufacturing label. Important to parents may be USP certified for absorption, NSF certified for health standards, non-GMO, Clean Label Project. At least they have less sugar and added calcium unlike gummies, but I can't give a high rating for a product that has the potential to have high standards. Seems like this is the bare minimum.

My kids hate how they taste

These are easy to use and there's no problem getting the kids to eat them. They have most of the ingredients that we were looking for, so we're happy with them.

Two out of three of my kids enjoy these. Our child who typically complains about vitamins actually likes them which is surprising! I tried one because my other daughter said she didn't care for them. The flavor is good, but they are a little dry.

We tried the Now Kids Kids Vits vitamins for my daughter, and while I appreciate the quality ingredients and nutritional value, they unfortunately didn’t work for us. The vitamins have a chalky texture that my daughter didn’t like, so she refuses to take them anymore. It’s a shame because I wanted to love them, and they seem to be a great option for other kids who don’t mind the texture. If your child is picky about taste or texture, this might be something to consider.

I got these for my five year old because it’s been a while since he’s been on vitamins and I knew he probably needed to be on them again. He was excited to try them because he sees me take mine each day and wants to be like his mama. However, he didn’t particularly like the taste of these. And after the first time I gave them to him, he didn’t ask for anymore, which isn’t helpful. It is hard enough to get them to take meds when they need to, taking a daily vitamin shouldn’t be a chore too. I don’t know if it is because he is used to gummy vitamins and he didn’t like the chalk-ness of these chewables, but he wasn’t a fan so that makes me not a fan.

Sadly, these are apparently disgusting. Our four kids, who are usually not picky with vitamins, ALL spit them out into the trash after chewing a few times. Would not purchase again.
