Q: Why are some of the daily value percentages in the Kids Multivitamin Gummies under 100%, while some are over? Wouldn’t I want my child to receive 100% of everything?

A: This is a great question! Fat-soluble vitamins, like vitamins A, D & E, are vitamins that are stored in the body, in contrast to water-soluble vitamins (like B vitamins), which are expelled when consumed in excess. Since the body stores fat-soluble vitamins, excess amounts can build up and create toxicity. A varied and healthy diet should provide the body with a good portion of these vitamins, but we know that doesn’t always happen, especially if your child is a picky eater or if there are dietary restrictions involved. We have formulated this gummy multivitamin to account for these factors as best we could. We recommend consulting with your child’s physician or healthcare professional to make certain this product is appropriate for your child’s nutrient needs!

Q: Do you have any tips on kids and vitamins?

A: Yes, we have a few! First and foremost: be sure to consult with your child’s physician or healthcare professional prior to use to make sure this product is suitable for your child. This is particularly true if your child is experiencing any health challenges, is taking any medications or if your child is under the age of twelve.

As much as we pride ourselves on making great tasting vitamins, we do want to advise that you keep these gummy vitamins out of reach of your children. They are not candy and they should not be treated as such. It is possible to get too much of a good thing! If you are concerned that your child may have taken too many gummies, please call the Poison Control hotline: 1 (800) 222-1222 (available 24/7).

Q: Why is there no iron in the Kids Gummy Multivitamin?

A: Iron is very difficult to formulate with, especially in gummy form. You'll be hard pressed to find a good tasting gummy multivitamin with iron that isn't overloaded with sugar. Not only that, but iron can interfere with the body's absorption of other vitamins and minerals. Micronutrient competition is important to keep in mind when formulating a gummy multivitamin for what micronutrients can be optimally absorbed, which is why we decided to not include iron in our gummy multivitamins. We do have a liquid iron supplement, in a delicious berry flavor, with easily adjusted serving sizes for the whole family!

Q: I thought D3 came from Lanolin. If these are vegan, where are you getting the D3 from?

A: We source our D3 from wild-crafted, non-GMO, vegan Lichen.

Q: How do I know if I am B12 deficient? 

A: There are different symptoms associated with a B12 deficiency, including problems with focusing and energy. A B12 deficiency can also cause more problems in addition to a lack of energy and trouble focusing. Lacking vitamin B12 can make your extremities feel numb or tingly, an uncomfortable side effect that can often indicate a nutrient deficiency.

Though these are just some of the symptoms, we recommend consulting with your physician or healthcare professional to see if you are truly deficient, and to make certain supplementing is appropriate for your nutrient needs!

Q: I thought omegas were from fish. If the Omega 3-6-7-9 Gummies are vegan, where are the omegas sourced?

A: While many Omega supplements use cod liver oil or another fishy source, our vegan Omega 3-6-7-9 Gummies use Organic Flaxseed Oil and Organic SeaBerry® as the source of the omega complex. The Organic SeaBerry® is made from the plant Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides), grown in high altitude Tibet!

Q: Why did you include Omega 6 in the Omega 3-6-7-9 gummies?

A: The omega fatty acids in our Omega 3-6-7-9 Gummies are sourced from Sea Buckthorn berries (the highest known concentration of Omega 7 known in the animal or plant kingdom!) and Flaxseed oil. To remove the omega-6 would mean over-processing those ingredients. Since all of these ingredients are important in the human diet, we opted to include it in our formula.

While it is true that the western diet is typically heavy on omega 6, it is worth noting that it is more important to eat omegas in proper proportion.

Our Omega 3-6-7-9 gummies include the following amounts of each omega fatty acid per gummy:

As always, we suggest checking with your physician or healthcare professional if you are unsure if the product is right for you.

Q: What is in the Immunity Gummies that makes them for immunity?

A: Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc are all essential nutrients that also have antioxidant properties, supporting immune function. As well, Echinacea and Elderberry are two herbals that have long been traditionally used for immune support!

Q: What makes the two Immunity Gummies options different?

A: Our two Immunity Gummies have the same supplement profile, but differ in flavor and sugar content. The Raspberry Lemonade version is sugar-free, compared to the Cherry option, which is sweetened with organic cane sugar.

Q: Why make a glycerin-based herbal rather than alcohol-based?

A: These botanicals are made through dynamic processes, extracting heat-sensitive compounds with glycerin. This allows for more bioavailability of the organic compounds found in the herbs that would otherwise be denatured and rendered inert by alcohol. By using glycerin, a more biologically active and potent product is produced!

Q: Can I use the Hand Sanitizing Wipes on other surfaces?

A: These wipes were created with easy hand sanitizing in mind and have not been designed for use elsewhere.

Q: Is 70% Isopropyl Alcohol really enough for the Hand Sanitizing Wipes  wipes to sanitize? Wouldn’t a higher percentage be better?

A: Though there are some Isopropyl Alcohol solutions on the market with higher ratios, many hand sanitizer solutions do utilize a ratio of 70% v/v Isopropyl Alcohol to 30% purified water, like our wipes do.

Q: Will the Hand Sanitizing Wipes help protect me against COVID-19?

A: Our Hand Sanitizing Wipes have not been tested against COVID-19. The FDA regulates over the counter (OTC) hand sanitizers, liquid and wipes, and prohibits manufacturers from making viral reduction claims, especially those in reference to COVID-19. For more information on protecting yourself and others, we suggest that you review the CDC’s recommendations.

Q: If any of my wipes dry out, can I add water to re-use them?

A: We cannot recommend adding water to re-use these wipes; they are formulated with a specific ratio of alcohol and water. By diluting any wipes with water, they will not retain this ratio.

Q: Are these Hand Sanitizing Wipes flushable?

A: Our wipes are not meant to be flushable; we recommend disposing of them in a regular trash container.
