MaryRuth's Kids' Sugar-Free Vegan Multivitamin Gummies - 60ct: Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Strawberry, Fruit Punch

A: Hello! Thank you for your question. Our Kid's Multivitamin Gummies contain 3 different colored gummies. Yellow, orange-red, and red. The yellow gummies are Super Punch flavored, the orange gummies are Papaya flavored, and the red gummies are Strawberry flavored. Please note that slight color variations may occur between batches, and at times, the colors may appear very similar. Rest assured, all the flavors are equally delightful!

A: Hello. Thank you for your question! Our Kids' Multivitamin Gummies do not contain iron. However, we offer our Liquid Iron, formulated for ages 4+, with recommended doses for each age group. https://www.maryruthorganics.com/products/liquid-iron-16oz

A: Hello. Thank you for your question! During production, our food-grade gummy molds are lightly sprayed with oil (such as sunflower or coconut oil, which you’ll also see listed in the ingredients) to keep the gummies from sticking. After setting, the gummies are removed and coated with vegan, non-GMO pectin powder. There can be a powdery coating on these gummies; this is the pectin powder that may not have dispersed evenly during tumbling. Otherwise, there is no coating on our Kids' Multivitamin Gummies. :)

A: Thanks for reaching out regarding our use of maltodextrin! We appreciate the opportunity to explain a little more about why we use maltodextrin in some of our products.  A lot goes into formulating a product and choosing which ingredients will be the best fit for the formula. There are many different factors to take into consideration when formulating a product that can impact the overall consistency, flavor and even shelf stability of the product.  In the case of our enzyme products, maltodextrin is a necessary part of the production of the enzymes we use in the product, as it is needed as a carrier to standardize the enzymatic activity and support product stability. Most encapsulated enzymes available in the market will utilize maltodextrin in this way, though it is not required to be disclosed on the label.  Maltodextrin is created from starchy foods such as potato or corn, and is used to support product stability. However, supply chain availability can affect the location/source of any given ingredient, so this may change at any time.  We want to assure you that we only purchase from ingredient suppliers that are pre-approved, and meet our quality standards. All of our products are manufactured in facilities that uphold current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP or GMP). GMP maintains that certain standards and processes are used during ordering, storage of materials, and all features of production that prevent cross-contamination with ingredients that are not within the specific product.  Ultimately, the choices you make around what ingredients you and your family can and should consume is up to you. Each of our product web pages contains the Supplement Facts Panel and other ingredient lists disclosed for our customers' review. We also always recommend speaking with your physician or healthcare professional when considering your options for supplementing, too, as they can help guide your decisions around whether or not specific ingredients are right for you and your family.

A: I think Smarty Pants may make a teen vitamin that could be a good choice.
