Is there such a thing as gummy kids vitamins with iron?

[GlitterEverywhere]

I can find "Chewable" ones but they're still chalky. I'm guessing it's because iron is usually a powder.

Is there such a thing as gummy ones with iron in?

Boots sell kids gummy bear vitamins. 30 packs in a box and they are always but 3for 2

They don't seem to have iron in they though Betty. I'll check again though.

Bassett's multivitamins

No iron in the gummy ones either. I'm guessing the answer is probno.

You could try Abidec vitamins? It's a liquid you add to food/drink - I used to give it to my girls when they were little as we are vegetarians, and I was worried they weren't getting enough iron. It's a multivitamin but has (used to have!) iron in it too.

Mine take Nature’s plus animal parade gummies which have 1mg iron (not much tbh, only a few % of rda but more than nothing!)

It does tend to make the vitamins taste metallic so some kids aren’t keen.

Floradix liquid iron is ok for age 3 and up?

You have to be really careful with giving Iron supplements to children, as it's very easy to overdose. That's why they don't recommend them without a GP prescription or advice. It's better to try to get the iron from food instead.
