Review of the best according to the editorial board. On the selection criteria. This material is subjective and does not constitute advertising and does not serve as a purchase guide. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

In the first 5 years of life, the most intensive growth in children occurs. At this stage, their body is especially important to provide useful substances. With a deficiency of vitamins, the baby's immunity decreases, rickets develops, and the work of the heart is disrupted. He eats poorly, becomes lethargic and susceptible to infectious diseases.

Vigilant parents take such children to see a pediatrician and listen to his recommendations regarding the use of vitamins. He can prescribe a certain monovitamin to the baby. Here mummies are better off listening and not experimenting. But if the doctor recommends multivitamin complexes, then the parents have the opportunity to choose. Our experts have conducted a study and ranked the best vitamins for children 2 years old.

Main selection criteria:

1. Allergy risk. If the baby is prone to allergic reactions, then vitamins are selected without flavors, dyes and taste enhancers.
2. Dosage form. Not all children at 2 years of age swallow hard tablets easily. An excellent solution is drops, syrups, chewable tablets.
3. Taste. At 2 years old, children already have their favorite and unloved products. If vitamins have a taste that they don't like, then parents are unlikely to be able to persuade them to drink a healthy syrup or chew a pill.

Consider the best gummies and liquid vitamin complexes.

The first place in the ranking is deservedly taken by the Multi-tabs baby vitamins. They are produced by the Danish pharmaceutical company Ferrosan. For many years they have specialized in the production of multivitamins with minerals that can meet the needs of the body of various age groups.

Gummi king

Gummi King's American Gummy Vitamins & Minerals for Kids 2+ goes to # 4 in the rankings. But since they look like real candy, the children's audience would give them first place.

Pediatricians and parents are more objective in their reviews. They understand that Gummi King contains only 7 vitamins and 4 minerals, and their concentration does not meet the daily need for these substances in children. But Gummi King gummies are a dietary supplement, not just sweet.

Children should not take it along with other multivitamins so as not to provoke hypervitaminosis. It is a vegan product available in 6 natural fruit flavors. Babies can eat 2 of these gummies a day. The jar contains 60 gummies, which are enough for 1 course of use.
