Puritan’s Pride Pre-Vites Children’s Multivitamin-100 Chewables

Which Kids Need Vitamin Supplements?

Given the reality of time-crunched parents, those well-rounded, home-cooked meals aren’t always possible. That’s why pediatricians may recommend a daily multivitamin or mineral supplement for:

• Kids who aren’t eating regular, well-balanced meals made from fresh, whole foods
• Finicky eaters who simply aren’t eating enough
• Kids with chronic medical conditions such as asthma or digestive problems, especially if they’re taking medications. (Be sure to talk with your child’s doctor before starting a supplement if your child is on medication.)
• Kids eating a lot of fast food, convenience food, and processed food
• Kids on a vegetarian or a vegan diet (they may need an iron supplement), a dairy-free diet (they may need a calcium supplement), or other restricted diet
• Kids who drink a lot of carbonated sodas, which can leach vitamins and minerals from their bodies
