Kidz 250 mg Vitamin C Fruit Punch
About This Product
Emergen-C Kidz 250 mg Vitamin C Fruit Punch is a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement specifically designed for children, earning an N+ Score of 56 and a grade of 'F'. This product contains 16 ingredients, with several vitamins at clinically studied doses for their respective functions, including Vitamin C (250mg), Vitamin B6 (10mg), Vitamin B12 (25mcg), and Pantothenic Acid (2.5mg). However, ingredients such as Niacin (4mg), Folate (167mcg DFE), and Calcium (100mg) are identified as underdosed based on typical recommendations for a comprehensive children's multi. Despite 100% label transparency, the overall ingredient adequacy and formula completeness contribute to its lower score. This supplement may be suitable for parents looking to provide specific vitamin support, particularly Vitamin C, but may not offer comprehensive daily nutritional coverage due to underdosed minerals and other B vitamins.
