These multivitamin gummies offer a convenient and palatable way for children to receive a basic daily supplement. They stand out for their notably low sugar content, which is a significant plus in the children's supplement market. However, parents should be aware that the dosages for several important vitamins and minerals are on the lower side, potentially limiting their overall effectiveness for comprehensive nutritional support.

Equate Children's Multivitamin Gummies are designed to be an accessible daily supplement for kids, offering a basic array of vitamins and minerals. The gummy form is highly appealing to children, which aids in compliance, and its very low carbohydrate and calorie content is a notable advantage over many sugar-laden children's gummies. While it aims to support broad health goals, the modest dosages of several key nutrients, such as Vitamin D (300 IU), Vitamin C (15mg), Zinc (1.3mg), and Iodine (15mcg), indicate it may not provide optimal levels for growing children's daily needs, particularly for robust immune and bone health support. Claims like 'Testosterone Support' and 'Anti-Aging' are largely irrelevant for a children's product and are not supported by the ingredients.
- Affordable price point and low cost per serving.
- Gummy form is convenient and highly appealing to children.
- Very low sugar and calorie count per gummy, minimizing unnecessary additives.
- Includes essential vitamins (A, C, D, E) and some B vitamins and minerals (Zinc, Iodine).
- Dosages of several key nutrients like Vitamin D, Zinc, and Iodine are quite low, potentially insufficient for optimal daily intake for children.
- Uses Folic Acid instead of the more bioavailable and preferred Methylfolate form.
- Limited range of minerals included in the formulation beyond basic zinc and iodine.
- Broad health claims (e.g., Testosterone Support, Anti-Aging) are not substantially supported for a children's multivitamin with these ingredients.
- The Vitamin D content (300 IU) is below the generally recommended 600 IU for children by many health organizations, requiring additional supplementation if aiming for optimal levels.
- Zinc and Iodine levels are considerably low compared to recommended daily allowances for children, potentially not addressing dietary gaps effectively.
- Parents should ensure the gummies are stored properly to prevent melting or sticking, which can affect usability.

Categories
Vitamin A 70.0
Contains 1000 IU of Vitamin A, which is a good and appropriate amount for supporting the daily needs of young children, particularly for vision and immune health.
Vitamin E 60.0
Delivers 9 IU of Vitamin E, adequately meeting the Recommended Dietary Allowance for young children and providing foundational antioxidant support for cellular health.
Folate 50.0
Provides 100mcg of Folic Acid, which contributes to basic folate needs, but utilizes the synthetic folic acid form rather than the more bioavailable methylfolate, and offers a lower dose compared to some alternative children's multivitamins.
Goals
Vision Support 65.0
Contains a beneficial amount of Vitamin A (1000 IU), which is essential for healthy vision and eye development in children, serving as a primary contributor to this goal despite the absence of other vision-specific nutrients like Lutein.
General Health 60.0
Provides a foundational spectrum of essential vitamins, but the quantities of some crucial nutrients like Vitamin D, Zinc, and Iodine are below optimal levels for truly comprehensive daily support in growing children.
Mood Support 55.0
Includes a selection of B vitamins (B6, B12, Pantothenic Acid, Biotin) that are important for nervous system function and can indirectly influence mood, though the dosages are conservative and lack other common mood-supporting compounds.
