A tasteless vitamin

Gal44

My little girl won't take any vitamins that have a flavour, not even the gummy bear ones. Is there any tasteless ones? a powder or something that I could sneak into her milk? Thanks

Does she need'em? If so, speak with a doctor on it.

There's no use giving these things to anyone just for the sake of it.

I used to get a big box of vitamins in Boots years ago when the young lad was small. It had small packets of gummy bears in it, think there were 5 little bears in a pack, just like the little haribo bears. He used to have them every morning on the way to school. They looked and tasted just like sweets.
Something like these only they were Boots brand and had a month's supply:

Vitamin supplements are mainly marketing. Unless a person has a specific deficiency or there are known benefits (such as the vitamin D drops for newborns), you're just wasting your money.

Pharmaton and all them just prey on parental fears by claiming that you're "giving your child the best start in life". Once they're getting a balanced diet, they don't need any vitamin supplements and at best the supplements do nothing.

As with the others, if your child is eating a balanced diet then I wouldn't be inclined to give a supplement.

However, I have a 3yo who doesn't eat any vegetables or meat. Late last year he was very fatigued and pale, so i started him on feroglobin iron tonic and he hasn't looked back. I was worried about him starting montessori in January, but he was grand.

I had eased up giving it to him over the summer and sure enough he was sick within two weeks of going back to school! Both kids ended up on an antibiotic.
We've just finished a course of bio-kult for kids, just to try and balance out the antibiotic. They will take it in water or mixed with apple juice or I try to give them freshly squeezed orange juice most mornings for the vit c and they don't seem to notice the difference and will remind me to put it in.

Thanks, she doesn't eat much meat or vegetables so was advised to get a multivitamin, its just any of the ones iv tried haven't had a taste she likes so that's why a tasteless one would be ideal.

Vitamins themselves have a pretty strong bitter taste, that’s why they are masked.

Sorry, I don’t think you will find tasteless.
