Being a parent is quite the journey. Sometimes just getting through dinnertime feels like a major accomplishment! And between picky eating, dietary restrictions, and just being busy, it’s hard to be sure kids eat something from every food group every day. This is where dietary supplements could make a difference in your day and theirs. The best vitamins for kids can act as a nutritional “safety net” to help cover the essentials and fill gaps. New Chapter believes growing bodies deserve tasty, nutrition-packed kids’ supplements made with high-quality ingredients! Let’s look at choices that help support your child’s healthy growth and development, including nutrients for immune system support and strong muscles and bones.
Key nutrients to look for in a children’s multivitamin
Multivitamin makers like New Chapter carefully account for the key vitamins and minerals that growing kids need. No surprise that these are the same nutrients that adults need, but they’re in amounts fine-tuned for younger bodies. As you seek out the best vitamins for kids, here’s a handy checklist of nutrients and the jobs they do.
- Vitamin A: Supports eye health
- B vitamins: Support cellular energy & brain function
- There are 8 B vitamins. You may see them listed as thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12, biotin, and pantothenic acid.
- Methylfolate is the most bioactive form of folate (also called vitamin B9), which some parents prefer. It may be listed as 5-MTHF or L-methylfolate.
- Vitamin C: Supports immune health
- Vitamin D: Supports immune function, bone strength, and heart health
- Iodine: Supports healthy thyroid function
- Zinc: Supports immune function and skin health
Types of kids’ multivitamins
If your child doesn’t love vegetables or fruits or “textures,” chances are they’ll still like 100% delicious gummies or liquid multivitamins! New Chapter has got kids’ multis in both forms. They contain 17+ high-quality vitamins and minerals, so you can feel confident giving them to your kids to fill nutrient gaps effectively.

How to choose the right multivitamin for your child
You want to be thoughtful about any product you’re going to give your child to consume. Some simple steps can make the choice easy. Also, talk to your child’s health-care provider about any supplement questions you may have.
- Read the ingredients. Does the product contain the key vitamins and minerals you expect? What is the sugar content? Are there artificial ingredients you want to avoid?
- Make sure there is dosing information for your child’s age. Children’s serving sizes are different than servings for older teens or adults.
- Seek out quality. One of the best ways to confirm excellent quality is to look for third-party certifications and validations. These are typically listed on labels.
- Confirm the form. Make sure the multivitamin is a type that your child can take, such as chewable gummies or drinkable liquid.
Kids multivitamin tips for parents
When it comes to nutritional support, consistency is key! We’ve gathered some helpful ways to weave multivitamins into your family’s daily routine.
- Make it a habit! Try giving multivitamins at the same time each day to help set the habit. For example, make liquid multivitamins part of your child’s breakfast routine. Or set gummies next to your child’s dinner plate each evening.
- Use a sticker chart! Create a grid for the month with space for a sticker each day. When your child takes their multi they get to put a sticker on the chart. (Plan a healthy reward when the chart is filled!)
- Take multivitamins as a family! Liquid multivitamins are for everyone age 2+, so you can take them too! We also have complete whole-food fermented multivitamin tablets designed for every stage of adulthood.
- Clean those teeth! Encourage brushing after chewing gummies to protect your child’s teeth.
Go for nourishing goodness, no yucky extras
Here’s the thing to remember: High-quality kids’ multivitamins are here to give parents easy, effective choices for supporting your child’s foundational wellness. The best vitamins for kids are the ones they’ll actually take, like delicious gummies and liquids. Give kids supplements formulated for their bodies to recognize and absorb, and you get peace of mind knowing nutritional gaps are being filled. At New Chapter, we conduct over 30 tests on each batch of our gummies and liquids to confirm quality and efficacy. Our raw ingredients are tested for identity, purity, and strength, and then we send each formula to third-party certifiers to independently validate that our products are truly bringing you the wellness you expect.
Whether you’ve got picky eaters or try-anything kids, New Chapter kids’ multivitamins will support their healthy bodies and overall wellness!
