We were kindly donated 80 sample packs of Vegums Multivitamin gummies in strawberry flavour, we gave these out out our first Vegan kids summer picnic event.
My Daughter took it upon herself to hand out the samples and make sure every kids got one! and they were gratefully received, some remarking they used these already.
We had to issue them with a bit of a warning “They are not sweets” having watched my own son gulp 2 down in quick succession, which is a welcome change from trying to force feed him multivitamins in the past.
One of the most common questions we get asked at Vegan kids is “What are the best Multivitamins for kids” As vegan parents we know how important it is to ensure our vegan children are receiving the essential vitamins for healthy growth and a recent study conducted on Vegan Children in poland showed fortified foods was not enough for providing B12 and D.
So it’s good to see the Vegums multivitamins contain both B12 and D, along with B6, Selenium, folic acid and Iodine.
So what was the verdict? My own kids loved these vitamins, “They are just like sweets.” having tasted them myself, I agree, they taste great, maybe too good in fact. You need to keep them hidden from your kids or they could easily munch the whole packet!
I had varying degrees of success in the past with vitamins and trying to get my kids to eat them and feel that their would be no problem, in fact my kids would actually ask me to eat these!
In terms of nutrients they don’t have a large selection in the multivitamins but do have the important ones, Vegans struggle to get naturally, so these are a great option for people who want a multivitamin but without all the extra nutrients often added in multivitamins.
They do have other gummies available such as Iron and Omega 3, so you could get the complete package.
The other great thing is the company is big on sustainability and has a great ethos.
Overall, I think these are great and perfect for vegan kids!
