Growing up milk as a vitamin supplement

Hi Mums
With the recent revelation that all under 5s should be given daily vitamin supplements for vitamin A, C & D amongst others, I have been thinking of the best way to administer the necessary dosage.
Now we still have some ready mixed aptimil formula in the house for emergencys (running out of blue milk) and it appears to me to be full of the desired vitamins, could we just use this milk to meet their vitamin needs ?
My boys are 2 & 3 and drink this milk with gusto ! Vitamin supplement in another form would be more challenging I suspect.
Thoughts please many thanks

growing up milk is full of sugar, so I would (and have) stick to normal milk & supplements.

I also stick to normal milk and supplements. My 3yo has (and loves) the chewy sweet type vitamins and the little one has the liquid. He doesn’t like it but it’s fine mixed in with wheatabix
