Nutrient quality
Utilization of citrate forms for all major minerals ensures high bioavailability for developing bodies. Dosages are appropriate for foundational pediatric support but remain conservative for therapeutic needs.
Analysis
ChildLife Essentials provides a liquid mix of Calcium, Magnesium, and Zinc, with a very small amount of D3 (around 33-100 IU depending on age). This formula is really built to provide the minerals needed for strong bones and teeth.
The Vitamin D is only included here to assist with mineral absorption. If you're looking to actually boost your child's Vitamin D levels, you will definitely need a separate D3 drop, as this provides almost none.
Pros
- Uses well-absorbed Citrate forms of minerals
- Palatable liquid flavor for kids
- Supports bone and teeth development
- Large 16 oz bottle
Cons
- Vitamin D dose is extremely low
- Contains 4g of carbs/sugar
- Not a viable source for Vitamin D support
Warnings
- Don't rely on this for Vitamin D needs
- Shake well before serving
