Children can sometimes be picky when it comes to eating healthily, which can result in an inadequate intake of the essential nutrients they need from their diet. With DNA Miracles Chewable Multivitamin, you can rest assured knowing that you’re providing your children with essential vitamins and minerals to support their healthy growth and development. Usually with children’s vitamins, there is a trade-off: a satisfactory amount of vitamins with an unpleasant taste, or a tasty flavor with less nutritional value, and plenty of excess sugar. Some children’s multivitamin products on the market today include a mere four or five vitamins. DNA Miracles Chewable Multivitamin provides your child with 15 key vitamins and minerals in each tasty mixed berry tablet! Included are vitamin D for the bones, and vitamins C and E, plus zinc, to support the immune system*. In addition, while many children’s multivitamins include lots of sugar and unnecessary binders and fillers, DNA Miracles Chewable Multivitamin gives your children more of what they need, and less of what they don’t. Each tasty chewable has 1 gram of sugar – half the amount of leading children’s multivitamins on the market today – and contains no artificial colors or flavors. Make vitamin time your little miracle’s favorite time with the delicious DNA Miracles Chewable Multivitamin mixed berry tablets!

What is the serving size for the DNA Miracles Chewable Multivitamin? How many can my child take at one time?
Children 2 & 3 years of age, chew one-half tablet daily under adult supervision. Tablet should be fully chewed or crushed. Children 4 years of age & older, chew one tablet daily. Not for children under 2 years of age.

Why do children need to take a multivitamin?
Everyone needs vitamins and minerals, because they help release energy from our food and help build muscle, bone and other vital tissue. Children need vitamins and minerals to maintain good health and normal growth. It is important to ensure that children receive all the vitamins and minerals they need every day, especially during their growing years. The body does not store all essential vitamins and minerals, therefore some need to be supplied on a regular basis.

What are common vitamins and minerals that often kids don’t get enough of through their diets?
Zinc and Vitamins A, C and E, are some common vitamins and minerals that children generally don’t get enough of. Zinc is a vital nutrient for proper growth and development. Vitamins A, C and E are also important vitamins during childhood and throughout life.

Is there a specific time of day that is recommended for taking DNA Miracles Chewable Multivitamin?
In general, any time of day is fine for taking DNA Miracles Chewable Multivitamin. Whether in the mornings or the evenings, DNA Miracles Chewable Multivitamin can be taken with a meal or on an empty stomach. However, it is good practice to have your children take it at the same time each day to develop a routine.

Vitamin A (Beta-Carotene): 1,500 mcg RAE
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin. Sources of vitamin A include organ meats (such as liver and kidney), egg yolks, butter, carrot juice, squash, sweet potatoes, spinach, peaches, fortified dairy products and cod liver oil. Vitamin A is also part of a family of compounds, including retinol, retinal and beta-carotene.*

Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid): 60 mg
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin that has a number of biological functions. It is found in peppers (sweet, green, red, hot red and green chili), citrus fruits and brussel sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, collards, mustard greens, broccoli, spinach, guava, kiwi fruit, currants and strawberries.*

Vitamin D (Cholecalciferol): 10 mcg
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is found in some foods and endogenously produced (by your body) when sunlight strikes the skin and activates vitamin D synthesis. The main function of vitamin D is to promote the normal regulation of serum calcium concentrations. Vitamin D supports the synthesis of calcium-binding proteins, promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus and supports the production of several proteins involved in calcium absorption and storage.*

Vitamin E (D-Alpha-Tocopheryl Acetate): 12.6 mg
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin proven to be a strong antioxidant. It promotes structural and functional maintenance of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. It also supports the normal formation of red blood cells, promotes healthy cardiovascular function and supports the immune system. The most valuable sources of dietary vitamin E include vegetable oils, margarine, nuts, seeds, avocados and wheat germ.*

Thiamin (Thiamin Mononitrate): 1.5 mg
Vitamin B1 is a water-soluble vitamin that supports the body’s ability to process carbohydrates, fat, and protein. Every cell of the body utilizes B1 to support the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the fuel the body uses to function. Thiamin supports the normal production of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA).*

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): 1.7 mg
Vitamin B2 is a water-soluble vitamin that promotes the body’s ability to process amino acids and fats, activate vitamin B6 and folic acid, and support the normal conversion of carbohydrates into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the fuel the body uses to function. Vitamin B2 is found in liver, dairy products, dark green vegetables and some types of seafood.*

Niacin (Niacinamide): 20 mg NE
Niacin is a water-soluble vitamin necessary for many aspects of health and growth. Niacin supports the proper functioning of the skin. Niacin promotes normal energy production as it works with vitamin B1 and vitamin B2 to support the release of energy from carbohydrates. As part of the vitamin B complex, niacin promotes the conversion of food to energy.*

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate): 2 mg
Poultry, fish, whole grains and bananas are the main dietary sources of vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 supports numerous metabolic pathways in the body. One specific function is that it supports the normal synthesis of neurotransmitters in the brain and peripheral nerve cells. B6 also promotes the normal production of glutathione, which is essential for detoxification.*

Folate (Folic acid): 400 mcg
Folic acid is mainly found in fruits and vegetables. Dark, leafy greens, oranges, orange juice, beans and peas are the best sources as well as Brewer’s yeast, which supplies additional B-vitamins. Folic acid boosts the benefits of vitamin B12 supplementation. Folic acid supports the normal utilization of amino acids and proteins.*

Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin): 6 mcg
Methylcobalamin is one of the naturally-occurring forms of vitamin B12 found in the human body. The liver must convert cyanocobalamin, the form of B12 most commonly used in supplements, into methylcobalamin, before it can be properly utilized by the body; methylcobalamin is more effective than non-active forms of vitamin B12.*

Biotin 300 mcg
Biotin, a water-soluble B vitamin, acts as a coenzyme to support the normal metabolism of protein, fats and carbohydrates. Biotin promotes healthy cell growth, the production of fatty acids, metabolism of fats and amino acids. It plays a role in the citric acid cycle, which is the process in which biochemical energy is generated during aerobic respiration.*

Pantothenic Acid (D-Calcium Pantothenate): 10 mg
Pantothenic acid, also called vitamin B5, is a water-soluble vitamin involved in energy production and the formation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is important for brain health. Pantothenic acid works together with vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and vitamin B3 to make the fuel our body runs on, ATP.

Zinc (Citrate): 15 mg
Zinc is largely found in fortified cereals, red meats, eggs, poultry and certain seafood including oysters. It is an essential mineral that is a component of more than 300 enzymes that support normal growth in children, protein synthesis, cell reproduction, andimmune function, among other functions.*

Pantothenic Acid (D-Calcium Pantothenate): 10 mg
Pantothenic acid, also called vitamin B5, is a water-soluble vitamin involved in energy production and the formation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is important for brain health. Pantothenic acid works together with vitamin B1, vitamin B2, and vitamin B3 to make the fuel our body runs on, ATP.

Selenium (Sodium Selenite): 70 mcg
The best dietary sources of selenium include nutals, unrefined grains, brown rice, wheat germ, and seafood. In the body, selenium functions as part of an antioxidant enzyme called glutathione peroxidase as well as promoting normal growth.*

Chromium (Chromium Picolinate): 120 mcg
Chromium is found naturally in some cereals, meats, poultry, brewer’s yeast, broccoli, prunes mushrooms, fish and beer. Chromium is an essential trace mineral that help maintain normal blood sugar levels.*
