Nature's Way Alive! Children's Premium Gummy Multivitamin, Gluten Free, Made with Pectin, 90 Gummies

We were looking at JuicePlus for our family because we don't eat enough vegetables. It was going to be over $100/month for those vitamins so I started looking for an alternative. I found these and couldn't be happier. I am taking the Women's 3/day version, my husband is taking the Men's 3/day version and my 2 and 4 year old are taking the gummies. My kids beg for these vitamins all day long. We give them one after each meal. When I tell them they need to eat first they inhale their food to get their vitamin. If I forget to give them to them, they always remind me. They like all 3 flavors. My husband has been sick for over a week and he wasn't taking these yet when he got sick. My kids and I were already taking them. None of us that were taking the vitamin have gotten sick even though in the past when one got something we all got it. I think it is these vitamins that have kept us well. We just ordered our second bottle and these will be our go to vitamin.

For the most part my boys don't need vitamins, but I like for them to take one anyway. I try to get things as natural as possible, which can be rather difficult without spending a ton of money. I found these at our local Whole Foods (a LOT more expensive there!) so I checked on Amazon for a cheaper price, which I found! As long as you find the original (NOT the ones a lot of big chain stores carry (ie Walmart)) than this is a great vitamin. If you find it in a regular chain store, make sure to check the ingredients because the "cheap" version has loads of sugar and fillers in it. It makes me slightly annoyed Natur's Way would make a "cheap" version with a lot of useless crap in it, since that can be misleading for consumers. This one was great though!

My kids like these gummy vitamins, although they really prefer the Yummi Bear Whole Food vitamins for taste. That being said, when I compare the two labels, this brand seems to have a lot more in it than the other, and even though the taste isn't exactly like a gummy candy, my kids like them and take them every morning with breakfast. There is a slight "vitamin" smell from the bottle, but once you start to eat the gummy, it goes away and it is fine. I will go with this brand unless I find anything better!

Flavor is good enough for kids to enjoy them. Very firm so we break up smaller for younger kids.

After using the pressed powder chewable version of these vitamins, we decided to give the gummy version a try. The kids love them. It's nice that they come in 3 different flavors, compared to the 2 flavors of the chewables. The flavor is good, and they are excited that they get to take 3 of them instead of 2 of the chewables (the gummy does is 3, not 2). The only issue we ran into was when we took a trip to Florida. We took them with us and a bunch of the vitamins stuck together. We are from up north, so they weren't stuck together when they were delivered to us at home and we didn't have that problem until we went away. So if you are from a southern state, or somewhere warm, I would definitely make sure to keep them cool, in the fridge perhaps?**Like many others, I rely heavily on Amazon customer reviews before purchasing anything anywhere (on Amazon or at brick-and-mortar stores). So being honest about my experience with a product is very important to me. If I am presented with a good product, my review will reflect that. And if the product is not so good, well, my review reflects that too. Please vote if you found this review helpful. Thanks!

As a rule, I'm not a huge fan of gummy vitamins, as I worry about the impact on my kids' teeth. Unfortunately, though, despite many attempts I can't find a chewable that they take without it being an issue.Nature's Way are less sticky and chewy than many other gummies out there, so I worry less about them getting stuck on the teeth. They have no food dyes and both of my kids like the fruit flavors. Neither finds the dosage too large (3 a day) and I like that the vitamins contain a fruit and vegetable blend. Please not these don't contain iron if you're looking for that in your child's multi.

I take adult vitamins from this brand and love them. My mom recently started purchasing adult gummy vitamins from this brand and loves them as well. I was so excited to see they offered these for kids, and since my girls love gummy anything, I figured it would be a good bet to buy these. The first time I gave them to my girls (ages 6 and 3), I noticed the container had a very intense vitamin B smell, and the girls hesitated more than I expected when eating them, but they did eat them. The next day when I gave them their vitamins, they flat out refused to eat them and complained so much that I decided to try one. I had to spit it out. The texture was incredibly odd (think squishy but not 'gummy', maybe a product of the pectin base described on the label??), and the taste was not great. My 6yo described them as, "messed up mushy gummies." I am so disappointed because I think this brand makes great vitamins, but they need to improve the texture and flavor of these vitamins.

My 6 year old has been taking these to supplement his (not always great) diet. He seems to like the taste, but luckily identifies them as medicine and not candy, which I was a little worried about.He hasn't had a lapse in taking them so I can really say whether we see a difference but I have noticed he didn't get sick as much the last two years he's been taking them, which of course could be a coincidence. But try as I might to keep hem fed healthily at home, I feel better knowing he's getting the nutrients he's missing out on due to crappy school snacks and lunches. (Didn't you know packing your own isn't COOL?)
