Flintstones Gummies

Experts are mixed on whether children need a multivitamin; ask your pediatrician for his or her recommendation. If you do give your child a multivitamin, always give them one designed for children, because adult multis contain levels of nutrients not appropriate for kids. User reviews indicate that kids love the flavor of Flintstones Gummies, and ConsumerLab.com gives them a thumbs-up in its latest test. In fact, it is the only children's multivitamin tested that doesn't exceed the tolerable upper levels (UL) for vitamin A as retinol. According to ConsumerLab.com, too much vitamin A as retinol may be linked to bone problems. However, Flintstones Gummies contain artificial colors and flavorings, and have no calcium.

Flintstones Gummies are also tested by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for lead in a review of 324 multivitamins designed for women and children. The test indicates that nearly all multivitamins contain small traces of lead, but some have far less than others. We should note that none of the 324 multivitamins exceed safe/tolerable levels for lead; for kids under 6, this level is 6 micrograms (mcg) per day. Flintstones Gummies had very low levels of lead compared to the other 324 multis tested, with 0.0167 mcg in a daily serving -- far below the safe/tolerable level.
