Vitamin D3 20 mcg (800 IU) Orange Flavor
Garden of Life Kids Vitamin D3 20 mcg (800 IU) Orange Flavor is a vitamin supplement designed for children, delivered in a gummy format.

However, the Vitamin D dosage is considered underdosed for optimal support in children, as research often suggests higher amounts for comprehensive benefits. This product received an N+ Score of 42, earning an F grade, placing it in the below-average tier due to its suboptimal ingredient dosing. It contains a total of 3 ingredients, with transparent labeling. This supplement may be suitable for parents looking for a low-dose Vitamin D option, but a higher dosage may be more effective for many children.
