Multivits for 2 Year Old

juice plus will help build a great immune system. Juice plus is a whole food not a vitamin.

Arbonne has natural vitamins for children that include a superprofood blend of antioxidents. The come in packets like Crystal Light to Go. You can mix it with water to make berry-flavored water, but my kids enjoy it in a blender with a banana, some ice, and some milk to make a banana berry smoothie. For a 2 1/2 year old, you could probably get away with half a packet (my two kids share a packet) so one box would last 2 months. Our whole family takes them and my kids never get sick. I always give my discount, so a box for 1-2 months (depending on your choice to use a whole or half packet)would cost around $15.

My daughters are on Juice Plus gummies, and we do like them. My neighbor's daughter is on the Juice Plus tablets and likes them, too. My girls do get sick occasionally, but I would say less frequently than before JP (like another respondent, I also began focusing on a better diet with no fast foods, more organic foods, etc), and definitely less severely sick (my younger daughter has asthma, and had been to the ER a couple of times...scary!).

I believe that L'il Critters makes the Gummi Bears that were found to be contaminated with Mercury (a few years ago...I want to say it was Consumer Reports that tested lots of vitamins from different manufacturers to see how closely the label matched what was really in the vitamins, since they aren't regulated by the FDA...). I had given their gummies to my girls up to that point, and decided to switch!

I do like and recommend Hero Nutritionals Yummi Bears They have a Multi-Vitamin & Mineral, and a Whole Food Fruits & Vegetables Plus Antioxidants Supplement (made with Certified Organic Concentrates)...that I have used in place of the JP. They also make serveral other products, one of which we really like: Yummi Bears Fiber (the fiber is from chickory root, so it is very gentle, but effective!).

One last supplement I highly recommend: Nordic Naturals Omega 3's for children. (My girls are 5 & 8 now, so we've just "graduated" to the Junior version with a Lemon flavor) The children's version is strawberry flavored (natural flavorings) and comes in tiny little gelatin balls that they just chew. Omega 3's are great brain food and also wonderful for asthma and allergies. I think I remember reading that they can also be great for ADHD and similar symptoms.

All the best to you, A., as you make your decisions. The Juice Plus gummies ARE expensive, but they are also convenient (with auto-shipping, you never have to remember to buy more before you run out). There are some other quality supplements on the market as well, and I'm sure you'll find a great fit for your daughter!

Feel free to email me if you have any additional questions I can answer!

We love our Juice Plus and it only costs .75 cents a day for a two year old. Just a fraction of the cost of buying all that produce. And you are right, if it keeps them well, it is well worth it. ____@____.com

I am a mom of 3 boys and my boys have been taking the flinsdtone complete vitamins since they all were two. And My last son which he is 4 now has never been to the doctor. He doesn't get sick and my other ones are the same. My boys love them.

I get my girls the Flintstone one. I like that it is not a gummy type of thing. It is also listed as a 'first' vitamin and is meant for kids 2/3.
I've wondered about the JuicePlus but not sure about such a price.
Good question.

I am a distributor for Juice Plus and the only thing I can say to you is Juice Plus has made a significant impact on my families health. The amount of money and time I have saved from going to doctors and getting perscriptions filled have been incredible. Juice Plus in my mind is priceless! It has has given my family an opportunity to regain control of our health and that is priceless! And the best thing about it is that it is whole food nutrition which works wonders for our bodies. If you would like to learn more about Juice Plus you may go to my website at www.gotjuiceplus.com or call me at ###-###-#### or my cell # is ###-###-####.

Hi A.,

We started Juice Plus with our kids about 1 year and half ago. We chose them because our oldest was having trouble with her stool. (We tried many of the brands in the store) As soon as two days after she started taking them (I recommend the gummies) we saw a vast improvement. She's a very picky eater and gets little nutrition elsewhere (although she's getting better). The oldest is almost 4 and goes to preschool. We do still get sick. I don't know of any vitamin that's a miracle cure for sickness...and it's been a really tough year (even the CDC has admitted that one). But all in all I think Juice Plus is great. I believe you can order vitamins for yourself and they'll give you the kids ones for free! Worth looking into!

My daughter is 3 and is not a very good eater either so she takes JuicePlus (the fruit and the veg). I really like them, she has no complaints in taking them and she never seems to be sick. In fact she came home with 4 notes last month saying that a child came in with, pink eye, foot and mouth, lice, and a bad cough, and she never skipped a beat! Best of Luck!

my sister and her kids have taken juice plus for about two years. They are ALWAYS sick with something. It is very expensive and I've never seen any improvements with their health - the same goes for the adults and grandparents that are all taking it.

I gave my 2 yr old daughter the JuicePlus gummies for over 6 months. I even became a distributer so I come get them wholesale. My husband and I saw no difference in her. She was still getting sick like every other child. I recommend that you don't waste your money. We now give her the Flintstone for 2 to 3 yr olds. I have even read reports that it is impossible to fit that many fruits and vegetables into a pill/gummie like Juiceplus claims. Hope this helps.

I have an informational CD about children's health if you are interested in listening to it. It discusses what nutrients children need and also specific product recommendations. There is an eductaional section and testimonials.

Juice Plus+ is whole food that has been juiced and dried. They are labeled with a food label because of that. They do not contain megadoses of isolated vitamins. For $22.50 a month, that's about equivalent to the co-pay for one doctor's visit, not to mention any meds that are prescribed...isn't it worth it? I can send you some samples to see if your child would even like the gummies, so you can find out before you sign up.

Yes, I totally recommend Juice Plus Gummies! My two boys have been taking them for the last 3 years. My oldest used to get sick every other week, always had strep and was constantly missing school. Since starting on the gummies, he has not had a sick day in 3 years!!!! My boys love the taste of them too. I highly recommend them. They are worth the money but you have to be consistent in giving them the right amount each day and do so for a long time. Just a few months won't work but overtime you will be amazed how healthy they get. If you want more information, I'm happy to talk to you about it. I liked the Juice Plus Gummies so much that I decided to sell them too so let me know if I can order some for you. Thanks, MP

I know there are some good supplements out there, but there is no beating the quality of Shaklee...there are chewables, and powdered (if mixing into a drink is needed.) Let me know if you want to get hooked up with Shaklee.
Take Care!

Hey A.,

I would recommend the MELALEUCA VITA-BEARS multivitamin...the vitamins are patented (due to the delivery system at the cellular level called Frutose Compounding), they are not flavored with refined sugars - they are flavored with real cherry juice. They are sugar free and have no artificial colors, sweeteners or preservatives. They also have a kosher version if that's what you are looking for. Feel free to email me privately for more information.

We use the Flintstones gummies and have had no problems. My son has great teeth, so no issues there and he hasn't been sick at all. He also eats lots of fruits and veggies, so I don't see paying a lot for a supplement.
The main thing I like about them is I'm not paying for some MLM to get them. I don't care what anyone else says, I know from personal experience that the MLM schemes don't work and only a few people make the big money, the rest are just paying for it. I prefer to buy at a retailer and cut my costs instead of joining something I'm only going to lose money in.

Shaklee makes a powder that is a comprehensive multi - vitamin and also a chewable for little ones. They are the most natural thing that I've found and made a HUGE difference for my children.

Definitely recommend Juice Plus. I've taken it for 10 years and haven't been sick since. My husband use to get sick a lot and it has kept him well. To get 17 raw fruits and vegetables in your body every day for only $1.40/day, that's a great deal. Juice Plus is the best on the market - check out all the 3rd party, peer-reviewed research on it. It's the most researched nutritional product on the market. Good luck!

Hi A.:
I agree with Tina, my daughter is taking Aussi Pals multivitamin supplement and since she started taking them she hasn't even got a cold or anything, the vitamins are chewable, with different animal shapes, she enjoys a lot,"taking her vitamin". The price is good too.

I am a health consultant here in Hurst. I would recommend the Nature's Plus, Source of Life Animal Parade at his age he would only take one per day so it would be a 6 month supply for $15.94 plus shipping. You can find out more at the link below.

I have not been impressed with the Juice Plus supplements and have found many who think most if not all of their scientific studies are flawed. If you have any other questions you can email me at ____@____.com I hope this helps. J.

I highly recommend Juice Plus because it is a whole food supplement rather than a vitamin. The food is 100 percent absorbed into the body. I think you will feel really good when you read up on what you are giving him and find it well worth your money knowing that he is getting what he needs. You may be able to stretch your dollar as a 2 year old does not need 3 of each color/day (red and green). Two of each is plenty! K.

we got the regular flintstone vitamins for 2 to 3 year olds. It worked great with my daughter. Also drinking orange juice fortified with vitamin C and D will also boost the immune system. There are also packages of powder you can buy, I am not sure where, that you can put in a kid's drink that boost the immune system. Make sure he gets plenty of sleep as well as disinfect a lot. However, getting ill now will strengthen his immune system & cut down on absences when he goes to grade school.

I use JuicePlus for my 4 and 3 yr olds. We love them and rarely get sick now! I think it is worth the extra money.

Hi, A.!
I agree with the person that recommended the Shaklee Vitamins. My kids take the Shaklee kids multivitamin and I love that it is not a gummy. Most dentists do not recommend any gummies (even vitamins). Shaklee suppliments are also "beyond organic" and are all natural. I have a 3 & 5 year old that love them. I started giving them the chewable multivitamin when they were 2, but they also have a mix for babies/toddlers. We also can see major health benefits from these & rarely go to the doctor (only for checkups :)) I wouldn't trust anything else for my kids because Shaklee has the clinical studies that back up what they say. Email me at ____@____.com for more info...

I use Juice Plus for my boys and like them. I feel a little better on those days when their diet is less than ideal. I also use a multi vitamin. I wanted to find one that did not have any artificial colors, etc. Also, many mass produced brands (flinstone, etc.) create a tablet for a 4 year old and under four has to use half. Half of Fred Flinstone is not really that even and a little bit of a pain. It's just something to think about when you look at the ingredients and serving size.

My name is K. Roberts and I have had my son on Juice Plus for about 3 years. He was a very sick kid before we started JP. He does not eat fruits or veggies hardly at all, so I justify the cost simply because JP takes the place of the real thing in his diet. He is now in Kindergarden and has only missed 1 day of school this year due to being sick. He is a very healthy kid and I do not think he would be if it weren't for JP. FYI, when your son turns 6 he can get on a program where if you are buying JP for yourself he can get it for free! That has helped me with the cost this year. One of my friends just became a JP Rep, so if you need to find someone to order from Kathryn Buntyn would love to have your business! She is a wonderful Christian woman who I know from MOPS (Mothers Of PreSchoolers) at our church. Her number is ____@____.com

Good luck!

We use Nutrilite Children Chewables in our house - I have used their products since I was a kid and love them! They are wonderful. You have to purchase them through a distributor...if you know anyone in Quixtar they can get them for you. Or send me a message and I can direct you to my Mom - I get them from her.

Here is a website on their vitamins www.nutrilite.com

We began using the Juice Plus gummies about 6 weeks ago for my three children (6, 8, & 10). They love the taste of them and looking back, I wlll say they've not been sick. We made a dramatic change in our eating habits at the same time, cutting out fast food, make organic choices in meat, milk and most produce. Over that time, my children have not been sick other than allergies. My husband, who was sceptical at first, has noticed the difference in the kids' demeanor too. I can't isolate it to the juice plus, but I think we're going to keep using it. You are right, the price is very high and is defninitely a consideration. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I have been taking Juice Plus capsules for about 15 years. My children (now 13 & 10) have taken the gummies, chewables and now the capsules since they were old enough to chew. I think there are some kids/adults who are always going to be sick more often than others (and in general, toddlers seem to have a cough or cold pretty frequently, whether its from a cold or allergies). I couldn't say for sure that our family is healthier because we take Juice Plus, but we don't get sick much more than the occasional cold. You can become a distributor like I did and pay about $40/year to get the wholesale discount on Juice Plus.

I have not tried the Arbonne supplements, but love their skin care products, so that might be a good option, too. Good luck!

Hi A.,

I am an independent rep for Juice Plus+. I got into the business because when I found out I could feed my then 4-yr-old something that looked and tasted like candy but actually contains fruits and vegetables, it made sense to me immediately. I decided to market it so I could make it available to other moms like me.

I can tell you that it is worth every penny and for a child your age costs only $0.75 per day. I feel like it is well worth the peace of mind it gives me, not to mention the money saved on doctors and prescription drugs. It is the only supplement I know of that has third party, peer reviewed, published research. It is the most researched and best selling whole food product in the world.

If you email me with your address, I will send you a CD or DVD that explains more about it. Also, check out my coupon here on Mamasource.

God bless,

M.

Everyone should know about the most complete liquid vitamin supplement on the market called Vemma. It is liquid, as opposed to pills, and it tastes great. Everyone in the whole family drinks it, so no more bottles for different ages. I can give testimonials from other moms whose children have benefitted from this product.

Hi A.,
Juice Plus is a great product! The company does not claim that it will decrease illness - but there is fabulous research showing increased antioxidant levels, as well as improved immune response. Juice Plus is not a multivitamin - it is whole food nutrition - 17 fruits, vegetables, and grains, so your body knows what to do with it! It's pretty amazing. You can look at the research at www.HamreHealth.com. My family has been taking it for almost 3 years now and we won't go a day without it! It's like our nutritional insurance! :) For a child serving, the cost is only about 75 cents per day - for 17 fruits&veggies! With the cost and quality of produce - it's quite a bargain! Please let me know if you have any questions. I'd be happy to send you some nutritional materials from pediatrician Dr. William Sears on why he recommends and takes Juice Plus himself.
Have a great day and good luck! (It's hard to be a mom and make all of these decisions!)

Unless they have come out with a new product, Juice Plus is a nutrient supplemnent as opposed to a multivitamin. However, my girlfriend used JuicePlus and really liked them. I found similar products (regarding fruits and vegetables as opposed to multi-vitamins)for better prices. I think L'il Critters makes them now.

WE have Isakids vitamins. My son has a 2 year old that loves them. Go to my website http://joannblackmon.isagenix.com. If I can help let me know. If you want my son's phone number I'll be glad to give it to you. J. ###-###-####. This is a phenomental product!
