Active folate in the form the body already uses, plus methyl B12 as a cofactor. Organic berry drops with age-specific servings from one to eighteen, so one bottle covers the toddler and the teenager. Four other ingredients. No sugar, no dyes, no chewing required.
Free from the stuff you'd skip
No sugar to hide a bad taste. No dyes to make it look fun. Certified organic, and short enough to read in one breath.
What's actually in the bottle
Most kids' vitamins hide a short ingredient list behind a long one. Here's every single thing in the bottle, in plain words.
Folate in its already-active form, so the body doesn't have to convert it first.
The methylated form of B12, included as a cofactor alongside the folate.
A naturally sweet plant base. It's what carries the drops and makes them palatable.
The flavour, from organic acacia gum, natural flavours and citric acid. Nothing synthetic.
Folate vs folic acid
Folate is vitamin B9. The form on the label decides how much work the body has to do before it can use it.
The synthetic form used in most supplements and fortified foods. It has to be converted through several steps before the body can use it.
The form folate already takes once the body has finished converting it. No conversion steps required.
This describes the chemistry of the two forms, not a health outcome. If your child has a diagnosed MTHFR variant, that's a conversation for your paediatrician.
Suggested use
A quick shake before you open it.
Match the number to your child's age band.
On or under the tongue, or stirred into water, juice or a smoothie.
Age-specific servings
Most kids' supplements make you buy a new bottle when your child ages out. This one just changes the number of drops.
