Many parents worry about their children getting the nutrients they need to be as healthy as possible. A daily vitamin supplement can ensure that your child gets a range of nutrients despite being a picky eater. If you want to avoid the risk of pesticides, and increase the absorbability of your child's supplement, consider an organic multivitamin.

Nutrilite Health

Nutrilite Kids Multitarts are chewable tablets with all of the essential vitamins. These supplements have concentrates from passion fruit, guava, pineapple, and papaya juices, and each bottle of tablets contains strawberry-mango, grape and orange flavors. They also have antioxidants to fight free radicals and protect the immune system. The beta carotene and vitamin A can support eye health, and the calcium and vitamin D can strengthen bones. Instead of artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, this supplement uses xylitol, sorbitol, fructose and sucrose. The B vitamins in this supplement allow your child to metabolize food and have energy. The Food and Drug Administration has not evaluated these supplements, and you should always be careful when choosing a daily vitamin for your child.
