Non Gummy Kids multivitamins?

Can anyone recommend any kids vitamin tablets that are pills you swallow, instead of gummy chewable ones? Preferably not flavoured at all - just a sugar/smooth coating.

My 9 year old has a restricted diet and sensory issues and is massively struggling with the gummy ones and it's an upsetting battle every morning we'd rather avoid. We're keen to keep him on a vitamin supplement due to his restricted diet.

We used to use the liquid vitamins but there's still an issue with the flavour and tbh at 9 years old the quantity he needs means a bottle doesn't last long - which makes it rather expensive.

He can manage vitamin D through a spray, which he's managed to get used to. Better You do a multivitamin spray, but it's raspberry flavoured, which he is going to struggle with as much as the chewable gummies I suspect.

Hoping someone can recommend some as I've drawn a blank searching online! The only ones I found were £30 for 2 months supply, which is insanely expensive for kids vitamins!

Well kid or Tesco do a multi vitamin and mineral with a purple lid, both chalky textred and fruit flavour.
