Vitamins for at 3 Year Old

My son's Dr. told me that he should start taking a multi vitamin in the winter. Since he has never taken one what do you recommend?
Or what don't you like.

Any and all input would be great!

Thanks!

What can I do next?

I would never trust my son's health to any company but Shaklee. I really believe in the quality of their products. They make both a chewable multi-vitamin for kids and a powder that can be mixed in juice or food.

Good for you to be proactive for your son's health. First of all, vitamins are NOT alike. If you buy them from other places than a good health food store, you are literally wasting your money. The FDA does not regulate our vitamins and therefore you get what you pay for. Added sugar, chemicals, dyes, preservatives, etc. You have to be an educated consumer so that you aren't wasting your money. I'd be happy to provide you with some information on a powdered form which is very easy to dispense. Many kids can't swallow, chew or just plain don't like the taste of other vitamins. Read the labels!! Do yourself a favor and your family a favor, send me your email address and I'd be happy to send you some information! Here's to your health!

We use Kirkland brand children's chewable (from Costco). I tried one -- they don't taste as good as Flintstones, but they are much cheaper and my kids seem to like them.

We use the Vita Bears from Melaleuca. They are natural and I thought it would be better for my daughters to eat natural vitamins.
I buy them online.

We used to use vitamins and then I realized they were constipating my son. I have tried many brands, but just wanted to let you know to watch out for this. I don't give them any more vitamins for this reason and I don't notice any difference.

We use the flinstones ones...our 3 year old loves them. I'm guessing a place like GNC might have better ones???

We are using Gummy Vites by Lil Critters. I buy them at costco in the big jar and it is way less expensive than bying them at Target. My girl just loves them.
