Why unflavored powdered supplements are the safest and simplest way to ensure your child’s nutritional needs are being met

Getting vitamins and minerals into a three year old who is going through a picky eater stage is no easy task, which is why unflavored powder multivitamins are the best solution. They can simply be added into your toddlers favorite juice, or food, without your child even noticing. Not only do they give parents peace of mind, knowing your kid has met all their daily nutritional requirements, it also avoids tantrums over food and helps to maintain a pleasant atmosphere at meal times. 

Are Vitamins Better in Powder Form?

There are a couple of reasons why powder multivitamins are the best option for toddlers. With children so young, there is a choking hazard with gummies and tablets, powders are a safer choice for children who are still learning how to chew and swallow correctly. Powder supplements also have a more effective absorption rate for kids, especially when the vitamins are methylated, (also known as bioactive). 

Are Multivitamins Worth it for Toddlers?

Most parents turn to multivitamins when children are unable to get all of their nutrients from food, often due to them turning away healthy meal choices. To encourage a positive approach to eating, it is advised to let children gradually experiment with different foods, at their own pace. In the meantime, supplementing their diet with a multivitamin, supports their overall development both physically and mentally. One to three year olds need a range of vitamins and minerals to keep everything from their brain, gut, bones, and immune system strong and healthy. The EllaOla Toddlers' Essential Unflavored Multivitamin is the easiest for this age group to take as it is unflavored and blends seamlessly into juices and meals, meaning they don’t actually even know they are taking it.
