Growing children need the proper nutrients to develop strong and healthy bodies. One of these important nutrients is iron. According to the Office of Dietary Supplements at the National Institutes of Health, iron is a key component in the transfer and delivery of oxygen throughout the body. Iron deficiency can cause fatigue, weakness and decreased immunity. Certain makers of children's multivitamins offer supplements that are fortified with iron.
Flintstones Vitamins
Flintstones Vitamins offer two versions of children's multivitamins with iron. The first fortified offering is Flintstones Plus Iron. This version is a classic children's vitamin that was developed for children's total body nutrition, with 15mg of iron added per tablet. The website states that each time children takes a vitamin, they receive iron value equal to eating 5 cups of cooked spinach.
The second fortified children's multivitamin produced by Flintstones Vitamins is Flintstones Complete.
