They are amazing, my daughter doesn’t like taking them whole (chewing) so we put it in yogurt for her.

Despite being essential, iron is often not included in many kids vitamins because the gummy format may not effectively support iron due to common issues with stability. That’s why we say no to sugar-filled gummies and deliver Daily Iron+ in a format known to deliver optimal support to help kids with the #1 mineral deficiency.
Some actives (e.g., zinc, calcium) inhibit the absorption of iron while others (e.g, vitamin C) support it. That’s why we designed our Daily Iron+ as a unique standalone supplement so you can be confident your kids are getting what they need – with only those actives that help.
Our Daily Iron+ includes carbonyl iron, a special form gentle on kid’s stomachs, all while being dosed for safety and packaged for freshness — always with zero sugar and a taste kids love.
Seriously. Our team of vitamin experts and scientists has answers.
Iron is the leading mineral deficiency among kids yet most kid’s vitamins do not include iron due to manufacturing limitations despite so many pediatricians suggesting an iron-based supplement for many kids. The result is pediatricians ask for iron, yet most vitamins cannot support it safely and effectively. That’s why we created our Daily Iron+ to support the leading deficiency among kids 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 pediatricians 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 pediatricians 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 pediatrician.
Yes – we suggest just one based on your kid’s unique needs. For any questions about dosage, please consult your pediatrician.
When you get a new delivery, for optimal potency, we suggest replacing your old vitamins with your fresh ones. That way you can be sure your child is always putting the freshest nutrients in their growing bodies.
Our Daily Iron+ is designed for boys and girls starting at age 2 and up through teenage years, which is also when iron absorption can be particularly important (e.g., during puberty). 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. While it may be fun for your child to decorate their refillable bottle, once your bottle is filled with vitamins or if your vitamins are stored elsewhere, we always suggest using extra caution and keeping our Daily Iron+ out of reach of children.
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 personalized 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 pediatrician-recommended delivery schedule and is designed to teach your children healthy habits and care for the environment.
