(More customer reviews)These vitamins took some time for us to find. After wading through an endless sea of candy-like chewables that lacked essential nutrients, we were delighted to find Schiff... and haven't looked back.
Years ago vitamin manufacturers had the not so wonderful idea to make children's vitamins appear and taste like candy. Executives loved the idea that children would finally start taking their vitamins... and companies' profits would soar as a result. There was just one problem. The children did take them, and then some, often sneaking into the kitchen when their parents weren't looking and gobbling up the vitamins like, yep, you guessed it... just like candy. This temptation and lack of parental oversight resulted in numerous deadly iron overdoses, something that brought on great sadness for parents and lawsuits for vitamin manufacturers.
Now the manufacturers loved their new profits, but for some reason they hated the pesky lawsuits that came about due to the changes in their vitamins. So at the urging of their lawyers, these manufacturers decided to keep the candy-like appearance of their vitamins and exclude the iron. But here's the problem. Children desperately need iron to avoid anemia, a condition more common in children these days, and providing a well-balanced daily diet that provides this mineral is not as easy as it sounds. So the manufacturers kept their profits... and the kids got short-changed nutritionally.
That said, I can report that Schiff hasn't walked down the Flintstone path when it comes to children's nutritional needs. These have a mild cherry flavor about them - and come in the shape of various animals - but retain enough of their vitamin flavor and appearance that most kids make the distinction between candy and vitamins. Don't give in when your kids beg for the artificially colored and flavored gummy bear vitamins, look at these first. They are some of the best available as they lack artificial colors, flavors, and sweeteners. Most importantly, they include iron, which is an essential mineral parents should demand in a children's vitamin. We've been using them with great success for the past 4-5 years and would recommend them to every family out there.
