Whole Foods Multi-vitamin/Supplement for Children?

I’m looking to supplement a mostly organic, natural, well-rounded diet for total health and immune system support for our kids (ages 2 and 5). Our views on health are not mainstream. Even a liquid or powder would be a consideration. I’m so confused with all the different vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, bioflaviniods, etc. Any help would be appreciated.

    If your children are eating an organic, natural, well rounded diet they do not need multi vitamins or supplements.

    The absolutely best, safest and most natural way to get vitamins, minerals, bioflavinoids etc is to eat them as food.

    While I agree that nutrients should come from food, I also recognize that sometimes it can be difficult with children.

    This company makes whole food vitamins:

    Hello

    I have come across a complete liquid nutritional vitamin supplement that tastes like children’s chewable vitamins mixed with freshly squeezed orange juice. The supplement comes in two bottles, to be refrigerated and they would take one ounce per day. The product has vitamins, essential minerals, mangosteen, aloe vera and organic green tea. My grandson who is 11 months loves it in his bottle and his sister drinks it daily and always wants more! (she is 4 years old) :) We all know that our food is depleted from the nutritions our body requires, which is why it is very important to supplement. Liquid vitamins goes right to the bloodstream and works right away. Let me know if you are interested in learning more. Take care.

    Wow, this is so weird! I was researching this almost all day today! I have the same problem: my younger brother is an extremely picky eater and gets sick very often, so my mom and I decided to look for a healthy, all-natural, whole-food supplement that might benefit him. However, it’s been soo hard for me to try to find one that does not contain synthetic (or isolated) vitamins and minerals, and that has no bad ingredients (like artificial sweeteners such as sucralose). I also found one vitamin supplement that contained FLOURIDE– like we don’t get enough from our fluoridated toothpaste and tap water (we actually get TOO much flouride, which in high amounts is unsafe).

    But I finally found some that seem pretty good. One of them is a LIQUID whole-food supplement, which I think is a plus, since liquid formulas are more readily absorbed by the body than vitamins in capsule form. Here’s the link to the product: http://www.naturallydirect.net/liquid-vitamin.htm#3 (scroll down to the Children’s liquid formula).

    I also know of this really good "super green food" formula that is supposed to be really good. According to Dr. Ben Kim, it is one of the best organic, whole green food formulas available. The only downside is that it is very expensive (I guess the old adage "you pay for what you get" is true). Here is the link if you want to check it out: http://drbenkim.com/greens.html

    I also found this super green food formula that is specifically formulated for children. The ingredients seem pretty good. It is also chocolate-flavored, so your children most likely will like the taste! Here’s the link to the product: http://www.herbalremedies.com/super-food.html

    That’s all I really found on the Internet (so far) that sound pretty good. I think I’m going to get my brother the first one (the liquid one) and see how it goes. Well I hope I helped. Good luck and good health to your children! =)

    About a 2 1/2 months ago, I was a miserable human being. I was suffering from a mile long list of ailments diagnosed by doctors and the only hope was the chemical-laden prescription drugs shoveled out, by the ton, from doctors and pharmacies so readily.
    Then my friend, Todd Chaffins, invited me to a seminar on a special health drink he had also been introduced to.
    Well, lo and behold, I started drinking it the next day. By the third day I felt like a new person. It’s been going that way ever since. Every day I find something that is better. Folks, I now walk around with a smile on my face virtually all the time. I literally feel better than I did before I started having so many health problems that I sought help for.
    I am writing this to give just a few good points to those of you who are interested in feeling better, like me. I think everyone ought to have this info. Everywhere we turn these days, we hear of sickness in one form or another. Just think for a second, what it would be like, if everyone had a super strong immune system……. HHmmmmmm Makes you think, doesn’t it?

    Here is some info(only the tip of the iceberg) I gathered up quickly to give you just an idea what this is all about.

    The Gift of the Sea
    When Polynesians from Fiji first reached the breathtaking islands of Tonga, they discovered an unusual sea plant known as Limu Moui. Cradled in an underwater oasis in the ocean and nourished by its virgin soil, Limu Moui grew profusely, its rejuvenating properties protected and fed by earth’s most natural, life-giving substance… water.
    As quickly as the Limu plant was harvested, it was believed by the Tongans to be their ocean’s most precious pearl.
    It was viewed as their source of longevity, and good health.
    It was even bestowed upon Great Explorers who visited their island, needing sustenance and energy after a long journey at sea. Renowned explorer Captain Cook, considered to be "the man who saw the whole world first," experienced this warm reception in 1777 – and the islands of Tonga became forever known as "The Friendly Islands."
    But despite the generosity of the Tongan people, eager to share the bounty of their prized possession, they couldn’t possibly fathom the extent of its benefit to the human body.
    They didn’t know WHAT made Limu one of the greatest natural discoveries ever made!
    Today, we do.

    It’s the presence of a single super-nutrient that’s being hailed as "the greatest health discovery of our time," and "the most powerful nutrient ever discovered." It’s something that you cannot find in a single land-based plant on the planet…
    But you’ll find it in every bottle of Original Limu™!
    The miracle nutrient that makes Limu truly unique is a naturally occurring compound known as… Fucoidan.
    For thousands of years Fucoidan was a mystery of science – not present in a single land based plant, fruit, vegetable, or grain. Had the Tongans failed to explore the deep blue waters of their ocean paradise to harvest the amazing Limu plant, it might still be a mystery today.
    But Gary Raser, founder of The Limu Company, had a different idea. He made it his mission to turn this life changing super-nutrient… that almost no one had ever heard of… into a global phenomenon that would make a difference all over the world.
    Today, Fucoidan is the subject of more than 720 unsolicited, independent, third-party scientific studies(can be found at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez or http://www.pubmed.gov (type in fucoidan in the search engine)) that all validate its astonishing life-sustaining, immune-supporting properties. It’s hailed in such reputable medical journals as:
    Anticancer Research
    Infection and Immunity
    The British Journal of Pharmacology
    Nutrition and Cancer
    Developmental Biology
    The Journal of Molecular Immunology
    Journal of Neuroimmunology
    Antibiotics and Chemotherapy
    Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research
    Working on both a cellular and sub-cellular level, Fucoidan boasts an almost endless list of health benefits. Based on the research, Fucoidan may just be the most powerful immuno-supporting nutrient ever discovered!

    Limu is a veritable storehouse of healthful nutrients that together, cannot be found in any land based plant. In fact, Limu boasts over 70 vital nutrients, including immune-supporting antioxidants, polyphenols, amino acids, glyconutrients, vitamins and minerals, and of course, Fucoidan.
    It’s no wonder that the anticipation… the demand… and the significance surrounding our life-changing product prompted representatives of all 4 of the major news networks, ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX, to contact us to share our story!

    Even more exciting, however, is the personal testimony that pours into our international headquarters in Florida on a daily basis. The reports we receive outline an amazingly wide array of exceptional health benefits, including but not limited to:
    Restful Sleep
    More Energy
    Improved Joint Mobility
    Healthy Immune Function
    Healthy Cell Growth
    Healthy Gastrointestional Function
    Healthy Blood
    Glucose Levels
    Healthy Cholesterol Levels
    Smoother, Softer Skin
    Consistently Good Health
    Feelings of General
    Well-Being
    And More!

    Thousands of people across the globe… people of all ages and levels of health… are experiencing one of nature’s most precious – but difficult to harvest – gifts. So how can The Limu Company deliver this extraordinary gift from Tonga to you?

    Also, remember that Limu can be used by all ages. Nothing harmful, no chemicals, only simple goodness! It is also being used on animals! I have plenty of testimonies if you would like to read some.
