Higher Nature Dinochews Childrens Chewable Multi Vitamin and Minerals

Advantages: Kids like them; Good range of nutrients;
Disadvantages: A bit high in fructose, but it is necessary or kids wouldn't eat them; a bit expensive

...Dinochews are a chewable vitamin & mineral tablet for children. They are made by the reputable health company, Higher Nature. My children have been taking these since they started school - I thought they needed some extra supplementation once they started mixing a lot with other children and eating the sweets that teachers insist of giving out. I tend to only give them in winter, when their immune systems are under extra stress, or when they are feeling a bit below-par. I was amazed that my children like these tablets. I tried them, they are fruity, really nice. Checking the labels of children's supplements in my local chemist, I was horrified at the ingredients - high in sugar and colourings. Dinochews are different. They contain no sucrose, salt, yeast, wheat, dairy, animal products, artificial preservatives, flavours... Read review

Advantages: Great for healthy skin and imune system
Disadvantages: flushes through the body quickly

...body does not store what is not used but flushes the excess away. Because of this a regular daily intake is required. Some vitamin tablets do not dissolve fully and are just flushed through, so chewable vitamin C tablets are a good idea I think. But there is another train of thought that says vitamin C is used as the demand dictates and so time release tablets are a better idea. Sorry I dont have the exact cost yet Doh! I cant remember it. I will update this when I find the darn reciept. But it only cost about £3 for 2 months supply. The 500gm pack is all the average body requires daily (if there is any such thing as an average body). But if you are poorly your GP may avice higher dosages. If you believe the latest news report taking huge doses of Vitamin C has been linked to cancer, but hey we have all heard this sort of thing before... Read review
