When is it appropriate to give your child a vitamin supplement?When is it appropriate to give your child a vitamin supplement?

At Blackmores, we believe if your children exercise and eat well, they may not need any nutritional supplementation.

However, we know that helping to meet the nutritional needs of fussy eaters can be challenging for some parents.

Young children are often fussy eaters which can mean they don't get the recommended daily intake (RDI) of vitamins and minerals they need, and older kids often make poor food choices.

Children may also benefit from extra nutritional support in certain situations, like when they start daycare or school – or when they travel overseas.

If you’re considering supplementation for your child, it’s important to discuss any concerns with a healthcare professional who can help you assess and address any potential deficiencies.

If you decide to offer a supplement to your child, try to avoid products that use artificial sweeteners and flavourings.

The Blackmores range of children’s products use carefully selected natural ingredients to assist parents to meet the nutritional needs of their children, while also providing products that taste great.

In addition to the use of natural sweeteners, the children's range from Blackmores uses natural flavours like strawberry, vanilla, orange and raspberry. The range contains child-friendly chewable tablets or burstable capsules.

It's very important to us that we provide the best natural ingredients available to assist parents to meet their kids’ nutritional needs, while also providing products that taste great so that kids will happily take them.
