A well-formulated chewable iron supplement for kids, offering a gentle and bioavailable form of iron appropriate for their needs.
Quantity: 30
This Kid's Chewable Iron product by Carlson is a solid choice for its target demographic. It utilizes Iron Glycinate Chelate, a form praised by nutritionists and in online reviews for its high absorption rates and low incidence of gastrointestinal side effects, which is particularly important for children. The 15mg dose is suitable for maintaining healthy iron levels in kids and addressing mild deficiencies, thereby supporting energy, productivity, hair health, and mood. The chewable format and strawberry flavor also make it appealing and easy for children to take, contributing to consistent supplementation. While effective for children, adults with significant iron deficiency might require a higher daily dosage.
- Uses Iron Glycinate Chelate, a highly bioavailable and gentle form of iron.
- Chewable format with natural strawberry flavor is convenient and palatable for children.
- Appropriate 15mg dosage for pediatric iron supplementation.
- Carlson is a reputable brand, often associated with quality supplements.
- Dosage (15mg) may be insufficient for adults with moderate to severe iron deficiency.
- Price per serving is higher than many adult iron supplements, though justified by the specialized form and chewable format.
