Discover The Ultimate Health Hack . . .

Good question! Since these beans are smaller than a typical vitamin gummy or chewable, we had to be very particular about what active ingredients we chose to include in the formula for your health. Since MaryRuth’s does believe in a food-first approach to nutrition, vitamin C is one such vitamin that can be more easily obtained through diet. Some foods containing vitamin C that you may want to incorporate in your diet include oranges, grapefruit, broccoli, red and green peppers, and tomatoes. If you’re looking to supplement with additional vitamin C, you may want to try our Organic Kids Vitamin C Gummies, Organic Kids Vitamin C Liquid Drops, or Kids Immunity Beans!  

 

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!

 

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 vitamin beans 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 eaten too many beans, please call the Poison Control hotline: 1 (800) 222-1222 (available 24/7).

 

In general, when starting any new health and wellness supplement, you should check with your child's pediatrician, physician, or healthcare professional to make sure the supplement is suitable for your child. This is especially true when there is the added complexity of the MTHFR gene variants. We encourage you to partner with your child's healthcare professional to determine the best course of action.
