I have 3 active tweens – 1 is a soccer goalie with lots of training going on right now, 1 is just a busy growing boy, and the oldest is a beautiful young lady on the verge of being a teenager. Their bodies are growing fast, and I’m always looking for a good supplemental vitamin that is both beneficial to their bodies and enjoyable for them to take.

Enter: IronKids!

My kiddos are all getting big enough where they are kind of growing out of liquid and chewable kid’s medicines. But I thought I’d give the IronKids Gummies vitamins a try because they are GUMMY, not chalky or crunchy like other ‘kid’ stuff!  Who doesn’t enjoy a yummy gummy, right?!

Amazingly enough, IronKids Gummies come in 4 combinations (5 if you count the Omega Bursts) – Multi-Vitamins, Calcium, Vitamin D, and Omega 3’s. They are all different flavors, too, so it makes for a nice variety. It’s not hard to get my kiddos to take their vitamins at all right now – they really DO love these gummies! There are no favorite flavors, though everyone LOVES that the Vitamin D are shaped like sunshines and the Omega 3’s like fishes! It’s just FUN!

So, we’ve got the enjoyable part covered. What about the ‘beneficial to their bodies’ part?

IronKids Gummies are produced by Life Science Nutritionals, Inc. All of their products are  Officially Licensed Health Products, as designated by Health Canada. The gummies contain no sugar coating, no aspartame, and no artificial colors . . only real ingredients. They are also nut-free (a MUST in our house) and gluten free!

IronKids Gummies Multivitamins are a unique blend of vitamins that supports kids’ energy metabolism and helps them get the most out of their active day. All of my kiddos are busy, and I like knowing that they are taking something that really is helping them to be able to stay active.

The Vitamin D gummies are another essential supplement around here, as my youngest son has suffered with Seasonal Affectiveness Disorder (S.A.D.) and Vitamin D is very important in helping to manage that. We’re not able to get outside as much in the cold Canadian winter to soak up Vitamin D from the sunshine, so a good supplement is extremely helpful.

The IronKids Calcium Gummies include Vitamin D and Phosphorus as well, and I’ve always heard that those are important to have together for good absorption of the calcium. With growing bones, sometimes very QUICKLY growing bones right now, my kiddos need to have some good calcium support in their diet.

The Omega-3 gummies produced by IronKids are Canada’s #1 omega for kids. They are specially formulated with pure source DHA and EPA, two essential fatty acids that are needed for the optimum development of a child’s brain and nervous system, as well as supporting a healthy cardiovascular (heart and circulatory) system. IronKids Omega-3 gummies are made with only pure source triple distilled fish oil to ensure that your child gets the purest product possible. We’ve recently discovered that Omega-3’s have been important in helping with brain function for people with learning disabilities, so we’re really glad to have a trusted source as we tackle some new things with our youngest son in this regard.

Enjoyable to take and beneficial to their growing bodies – check and check! Yup, my kiddos are IronKids!

There are really only 2 drawbacks to the IronKids Gummies that I’ve discovered.

1) My daughter is allergic to fish – so she’s not able to take the Omega-3 Gummies and the Omega Bursts. That’s OK with us. She’s accustomed to having to skip some things with her allergies.

2) I’m the only one in the house that will take the Omega Bursts. LOL! This is purely a texture issue for the kiddos, and I think if they would take them longer that they really would get used to them. You see, the Bursts are a gelatin sphere filled with highly concentrated, ultra pure source fish oil. So, when you chew them, they really do BURST! Neither of the boys seem to like that sensation, and they weren’t particularly fond of the taste of the oil, though the gelatin capsule is very orangey and is a much more prominent taste than the oil. Again, it’s a matter of personal preference, and one that I’m not going to push since we have the IronKids Omega 3 Gummies that they DO like!

IronKids Gummies are family tested and approved, as winners of the PTPAMedia.com Parent Tested/Parent Approved award! IronKids Gummies were also voted Best New Product by Canadian Living Magazine in 2010. And all around the internet I hear really good things about the supplements and the people behind them!

We are enjoying the IronKids Gummies, and I am so glad to know that the children are getting quality vitamin and essential oil supplements to support their active kid lives. No fillers, no fluff, just good stuff!

I know your family will like IronKids Gummies as much as we do, and as part of the IronKids Ambassador Program, I’m excited to be able to give you a chance to try some yourself!  We’re hosting a flash giveaway with IronKids Gummies!
