Everything you need to know about the different types of multivitamins and how effective they are

Not all multivitamins are created equally. Just because a supplement is labelled as containing certain vitamins and minerals, doesn’t necessarily mean they can be absorbed effectively enough by the body to make a difference. The key to choosing the best supplement for kids, is to make sure it uses naturally-derived nutrients rather than lab made synthetic versions. Vitamins sourced from whole foods such as fruit and vegetables are more bioavailable, meaning they are easier for the body to absorb and get to work immediately. This is especially important for toddlers and children, who need consistent high quality nourishment to support their growth and development. 

Are Natural Supplements Better than Synthetic Supplements?

Yes. Supplements that use natural derived vitamins are far superior to synthetic nutrients, both in terms of how effective they are and how much safer they are to consume, particularly for children. Lab made vitamins have been linked to certain health issues, which is why it is advisable to only give toddlers naturally sourced vitamins. EllaOla's Multivitamins are all derived from whole foods sources such as broccoli and cauliflower. This not only ensures maximum absorption rate and utilization by the body, it also means they are the safest choice. The brand has even been given a Purity Award by the non-profit Clean Label Project, for its accurate product labelling. The award can only be given to brands after rigorous third-party testing ensures that their formulas are completely free from over 200 toxins and contaminants. 

What Form of Vitamins Are Best Absorbed?

The absorption rate of vitamins is enhanced when taken with food. Unlike gummies or liquids, EllaOla’s Multivitamins unflavored powdered format, means they mix in seamlessly to liquids and foods, which improves their effectiveness. It also reduces the risk of an upset stomach. When developing their formulas, EllaOla ensured that all their vitamins were naturally sourced, that the powder consistency provided superior absorption, and that the products were completely free from sugars, sweeteners, and additives. The result is the safest and most effective multivitamins currently available for toddlers, children, and teenagers.
