Quantity: 70
This variant of Equate Children's Multivitamin Gummies is identical in its ingredient profile and dosages per serving to the 70-count bottle. The primary distinction lies in its larger package size (180 servings), which results in a more economical price per serving. This makes it a more cost-effective choice for families seeking a consistent, daily vitamin supply for their children. Despite the improved value, the nutritional completeness and potency remain at a basic level, with certain vitamins and minerals still underdosed compared to optimal recommendations for children's growth and immune support. The consistent low sugar content across both sizes remains a key benefit.
- Significantly better price per serving due to the larger quantity, offering enhanced value.
- Gummy form is convenient and 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.
