Toddler Supplements?

[confused2007]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a Vegetarian Vitamin supplement for toddlers? Preferably in liquid form or easily chewable tablets. I bought Pedia Vites from Michael's Health only to find out the Vitamin A is derived from fish oil. Yuck! Also need the Vitamin D to be "Ergo" if possible.

Thank you

Hmmm... I guess the main questions are:

- what country are you in?
- what vitamins do you actually need? Is his/her intake low in anything specific?

Hi Evangelina,

We live in the USA. My two-year-old daughter's Pediatrician recommended that perhaps she take a multi-vitamin supplement. I'm looking for something purely Vegan, but, have only come across vitamins with A from fish oil and D from Sheep cholesterol. We are Lacto (and occasionally Lacto-Ovo) but prefer Vegan supplements.

My daughter actually eats really good. She gets a well-balanced diet. I guess my preference would be a liquid supplement.

Thank you

Mmmm... Solgar? vitamins are vegan, from memory... not available in Australia any more, I think they might've been European. Not sure if they're available over there.

You might find it easier look at what nutrients might be missing or a bit low, and supplement only those... if she's getting lots of fruit and veg then vitamin a shouldn't be a problem, and exposure to sunlight will provide vitamin d. I found a good calcium/iodine powder supplement (add to milkshakes!) while I was pregnant, and had a separate iron/folate/b12 supplement.
