Vegan Vitamins for Children

More parents are considering vegan diets for their children. According to a panel of nurses and doctors for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, those with a vegan diet have a lower incident rate of hypertension, cancer and cholesterol levels. Establishing a vegan diet during childhood years helps children develop positive eating habits for a lifetime. Supplementing a vegan diet with a children's vegan vitamin ensures the child receives the required nutrients.

  1. Country Life

    • Country Life offers four different vegan vitamin supplements for children: Dolphin Pals, Liquid Dolphin Pals, Maxi Baby-C Liquid and Tall Tree Children's Chewable. Maxi Baby-C Liquid is a starter supplement for infants and children providing vitamin C and bioflavonoids. As infants graduate to toddler vitamins, Dolphin Pals or Tall Tree Chewables supplement nutrition with a full range of vitamins and essential minerals. The difference with the three vitamins is the form. Dolphin Pals is a gummy chewable with the liquid version in Dolphin Pals Liquid. Tall Tree Children's Chewable is an easy-to-eat wafer.

    • Nutraceutical has been manufacturing vitamins distributed in health food store since 1932. Baby-D's Liquid Vitamin D Drops are designed for infants and toddlers.
