Vitamins for kids (part3)

[iampennylane]

^yup sis chest x-ray.

Ok ba ang Propan TLC?

[j27]

^para sakin ok ang propan tlc, kasi bigla siyang gumana sa pagkain. kaya lang nastop nanaman dahil naubusan. nagpabili pa kami sa pinas. pero hindi naman siya humina kumain ngayon.

[wifeynikawin]

Yung pedia din namin Bio-termin yung nireseta na vitamins sa 4 yr old daughter ko. Underweight kasi siya kasi sobrang picky eater and ang onti kumain. 14kg lang sya and sabi ng pedia dapat daw eh 16-17kls na sya. I hope magwork sa kanya tong Bio-termin.

We also suspected na may primary complex sya kasi 4 days na syang may lagnat pero pag gabi lang pero negative naman sa xray and pinatest na din namin for dengue negative din. May asthma kasi yung anak ko eh.

 di kaya pareho tayo ng pedia Sis?

[iampennylane]

^from san mateo ako sis tagarito rin lang yung pedia niya.

Pwede kaya pagsabayin ko Biotermin and Propan? adik lang lol

[j27]

^hehe. parang ako. dalawa kasi multivitamins ng bunso ko, kaya ang ginagawa ko alternate ang pag inom, every other day per vitamins, hanggang sa maubos yung isa.

[iampennylane]

^ok lang naman siguro noh sis? I tried kanina ppinagsabay ko yung dalawa, aba maghapong ngumunguya

[j27]

^haha! hindi naman kaya maoverdose yan.

anong oras niyo pala pinapainom sa kids yung vitamins? may vitamins kasi dati si bunso na night time pinapabigay ng pedia. yung iba naman sa morning. ngayon, sa lunch time ko binibigay.

[iampennylane]

^naisip ko nga yan sis kaya alternate ko na lang yung pagbigay baka mamulubi ako sa kakahingi ng pagkain hehe pinapainom ko after breakfast sis.

BTW, ~o~BEST WISHES and Congrats to BONG~o~

[yapeegurl]

^Salamat motherhood!!!

Yes haps. Nature's way ito. Until now iyan pa din ang gamit. Pati ako iyan din ang gamit. Pero ako 3 veggie caps a day. Si K isang capsule lang. Visit kami uli sa pedia ni kyle sa pinas (Kay Dra. Chen who recommended Alive kay K). We'll ask if K should continue with Alive. Ano gamit ni H? Gusto ko kasing lusog at gana ni H!!!

[pinkpotato]

Ceelin na lang sya. dati yung isang pampagana na nakalimutan ko name. hahaha. basta yung namention ko sa inyo.

I found an interesting article online. not too sure though if this is a paid post but something to consider.


If your pediatrician has recommended that your toddler take a multivitamin, then it is crucial for you to pick the best vitamin you can find. Part of choosing the best multivitamin will depend on your budget and your toddler's taste buds. Find out from your pediatrician exactly how much of each nutrient your child should be consuming and then read labels carefully. Your toddler should be consuming enough nutrients if he eats a balanced diet, but sometimes this isn't easy to accomplish if you have a picky eater. Don't ever give your toddler more vitamins than his pediatrician recommends and keep his vitamins out of reach for his safety.
Flintstones Gummies

According to ConsumerSearch.com, Flintstones Gummies may be the best toddler multivitamin on the market. ConsumerSearch.com cites surveys by pharmacists, tests by the FDA and reviews from Drugstore.com that establish Flintstones Gummies as the best multivitamin for toddlers and children. They fall below the FDA's upper limits for levels of lead, and these vitamins do not exceed the upper limits for vitamin A derived from retinol. The look and taste are pleasing to children, which may make it easier for you to get your toddler to take her vitamins. The Flintstones Gummies do not contain calcium, a valuable mineral for growing children, but there is another Flintstones Gummies product on the market containing calcium and vitamin D called Flintstones Gummies Bone Building Support that may fill in the nutritional gaps.

Hero Nutritionals Yummi Bears Multi-Vitamin and Minerals

Also in the running for best toddler multivitamin is the Hero Nutritionals Yummi Bears Multi-Vitamin and Minerals. ConsumerSearch.com states that this brand contains a little bit more lead than the Flintstones brand, but still significantly less than the FDA's limits. If your toddler takes three of the vitamins, he will exceed the upper limits of zinc and vitamin A from retinol. Reviews by parents on Drugstore.com, reported by ConsumerSearch.com state that most kids, excepting picky eaters, like the taste of the Hero brand multivitamin. Another bonus is that the vitamins do not contain any artificial coloring or flavoring and they contain calcium and vitamin D, which the regular Flintstones brand lacks.

Dr. Mercola's Children's Chewable Multivitamin

If you are concerned with the ingredients of your toddler's multivitamin, you may want to consider Dr. Mercola's Children's Chewable Multivitamin. Dr. Mercola's vitamins are claimed to be free of questionable ingredients like hydrogenated vegetable oil, aspartame and synthetic food colorings. They are considerably more expensive, and ConsumerSearch.com did not have any tests performed on these vitamins.
Dr. Sears Little Champions Multivitamins

Dr. Sears also makes a brand of vitamins that are fruit based and free of the questionable ingredients found in other brands. AskDrSears.com recommends that your toddler be given vitamins when she is eating solid foods regularly, but perhaps is a picky eater and is not consuming food from the primary food groups. Dr. Sears multivitamins contain all the essential nutrients including calcium and zinc, as well as vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. ConsumerSearch.com did not perform tests on these vitamins either.
