Kids Daily Iron+

Iron is necessary for healthy growth in kids yet most kids' vitamins do not include iron due to manufacturing limitations, despite so many paediatricians suggesting an iron-based supplement for many kids. The result is paediatricians ask for iron, yet most vitamins cannot support it safely and effectively. That’s why we created our Daily Iron+ to support kids' nutrition with a safe and effective daily option.

Our Daily Iron+ includes a special form of carbonyl iron designed to be gentle on kids' stomachs while also tasting great. We then include Vitamin C since Vitamin C is known to enhance iron absorption. And as always, we balance this with zero sugar, artificial dyes, and gummy additives.

While technically feasible, iron is a unique active that we believe should be given separately. Certain actives (zinc, calcium, etc) can unintentionally inhibit the absorption of iron, which can lead to overall ineffectiveness. At the same time, iron can be potentially toxic in large amounts and should be handled with care and specificity so we created a standalone supplement to meet the needs of paediatricians and parents alike.

Yes – each product serves a different purpose and includes a unique set of vitamins and minerals without overlap. All our products exist to complement each other depending on what you’re looking for.

Unfortunately, most kid’s vitamins are delivered in the gummy format, yet gummies cannot often safely and effectively deliver iron in shelf-stable amounts. The result is most companies overlook iron due to manufacturing limitations and safety concerns despite so many paediatricians saying iron is the number one deficiency among kids and often not delivered from food alone.

Correct. Due to manufacturing limitations, gummies typically cannot include iron in shelf-stable amounts, which highlights how gummies have unique challenges beyond health alone. Additionally, iron can be potentially toxic in large amounts, so gummy manufacturers are additionally cautious since kids often confuse gummy vitamins with candy, which can lead to health issues among kids. That’s why we designed our Daily Iron+ in shelf-stable amounts to safely and effectively support kids.

As with our other products, our Daily Iron+ is sweetened with zero added sugar. Rather it includes a blend of monk fruit extract — a superfruit sweeter than sugar for a taste kids love, — and mannitol, a sweetener also found in pumpkins and strawberries.

While every family has their own routine, we suggest parents give this about two hours after a meal or multivitamin that may include zinc or calcium. Please note that those two actives may temporarily inhibit the absorption so time can help maximize absorption. As always, with any questions around dosage or timing, we suggest checking with your paediatrician.

Yes – we suggest just one based on your kid’s unique needs. For any questions about dosage, please consult your doctor.

When you get a new delivery of fresh vitamins, for optimal potency, we suggest you replace any remaining vitamins with your new ones. That way you can be sure your child is always putting the freshest nutrients in their growing bodies.

And as always, as with any supplement, make sure our products are always stored away from children and always kept out of reach.

Our Daily Iron+ is designed for boys and girls starting at age 3 and up through teenage years, which is also when iron absorption can be particularly important. Since every child is different, please always consult your pediatrician to make sure this product is right for your child.

Yes, iron as a mineral can be toxic in large quantities and is a leading cause of poisoning in kids due to potential for toxicity. If you choose to personalise your child’s bottle (always with parental supervision), once your bottle is filled with vitamins, please use extra caution and always keep out of reach of children. Reminder that your bottle is not a toy and should never be treated as such.

Just let us know! It’s always been our policy that we’ll send you a new bottle for any reason — always on us.

Please remember your bottle is not a toy, so with any bottle you have, always store it safely and securely away from kids.

As parents ourselves, we know parents have enough to worry about — let alone worrying about their vitamin order. That's why we designed all orders to be easy-to-start, easy-to-cancel as part of our monthly subscription, which includes a free and easy cancellation and ability to control your delivery date. Your first month you receive a 30-day supply of fresh vitamins and a reusable glass bottle meant to be personalised with stickers. Then each month thereafter you receive a recyclable refill pouch to fill up your bottle with fresh vitamins. The monthly experience is based on a paediatrician-recommended delivery schedule and is designed to teach your children healthy habits and care for the environment.

If you want to adjust anything or cancel your order, you may email us directly at support@hiyahealth.com with your request. Alternatively you may adjust any order directly in your account by clicking 'Manage Subscription' from the initial email you should have received upon your first order.
