Children's Health

Growing kids need steady nutrition for bones, brains, immune health and energy, and even good eaters can fall short on vitamin D, omega-3 and other nutrients. Children's supplements come in kid-friendly forms such as chewables, gummies, powders and liquids, with doses sized for younger bodies.

This collection includes kids multivitamins, children's omega-3 DHA, kids probiotics, fruits and greens powders and other kid-friendly supplements from practitioner brands such as Nordic Naturals, NutriDyn, Klaire Labs, Pure Encapsulations and Microbiome Labs.

How to Choose a Children's Supplement

• Kids multivitamins: Chewables and powders cover the basics. Kids Chewable Multi by NutriDyn and VitaSpectrum Powder by Klaire Labs are top sellers.
• Omega-3 DHA: Supports healthy brain and eye development. Children's DHA and ProOmega Junior by Nordic Naturals are popular picks.
• Kids probiotics: Chewables, gummies and powders that support digestion and immune health. See probiotics.
