Children’s Multivitamin with Iron

Iron gives kids the energy to enjoy sports, focus on their studies and maintain healthy bones. It's also essential for a healthy immune system. Some kids may get enough iron from diet alone, but many are picky eaters, and it's not always easy to get your kids to eat enough iron-rich foods, such as red meat and leafy greens. Stomach flu and certain other conditions common in children can also impact iron absorption.

Multivitamins with iron are typically suitable for children aged 2 years and older and pair well with other daily supplements, such as probiotics and omega-3. These products can help even the pickiest eaters get the right balance of vitamins and minerals for healthy growth and development.

Iron deficiency in kids causes fatigue, learning difficulties, lack of attention, trouble focusing and weakness. Other conditions and nutrient deficiencies can cause these symptoms, so see your doctor first before giving children a multivitamin, and only provide them with an iron supplement if recommended after testing.

Multivitamins with iron can be an effective solution for fussy children or those with malabsorption. Chewable products, such as CVS Health Children's Tablets in Animal Shapes, make it easy and fun for kids to get more vitamins and minerals without swallowing pills. Another option is to add a liquid multivitamin, such as Enfamil Poly-Vi-Sol, to a delicious meal or drink for hassle-free consumption.

Complete kid's multivitamins, such as Flintstones Children's Vitamins With Iron, contain most necessary nutrients for growth and development, catering to every need. Vitamin A helps maintain healthy eyesight and skin, while vitamin B supports energy and brain function. Vitamin C may help enhance immunity, calcium, magnesium and vitamin D work together to help keep bones strong. Nutrients such as zinc, copper and iodine are essential for growth and help the brain develop through to adulthood.

Specialized products, such as Olly Kids Mighty Immunity provide targeted nutrients for the immune system and often include herbal ingredients, such as echinacea, for improved effect. Whether you choose a complete multivitamin or a targeted product depends on your kid's diet and needs. A doctor or pharmacist can also offer helpful advice.
