Description
A bottle of mixed flavours can be what keeps a child, or an adult, taking a daily chewable. Jamieson puts several flavours of its 500 mg chewable into one 120-count bottle.
How it compares
The dose and formula match the White Peach and Tangy Orange chewables; only the flavour mix differs. A 120-count bottle is a good size to try before moving to the family size. The NPN appears on the label. Browse every chewable on the full vitamin C shelf.
Chewable tablets are acidic, and frequent chewing of acidic tablets can be hard on tooth enamel. Rinsing the mouth with water afterward, or taking the tablet with a meal, is a simple habit that reduces contact time. It is also a good reason not to let kids treat them as candy.
What the label says
Points from Jamieson’s listing:
- Family friendly, ages 4 and up.
- Supports immune health, collagen production and absorption of iron from plant foods.
- Helps develop and maintain bones and teeth.
- No artificial colours or flavours.
- Non-GMO, gluten-free, lactose-free and free of artificial preservatives.
Who it may suit
Households where people disagree on flavour, and children who get bored with one taste, are the obvious fit.
Tips for taking vitamin C
For children, follow the age directions on the label and keep the bottle out of reach, because chewables and gummies can look like candy. Upper limits are lower for kids: about 400 mg a day at ages 1 to 3, 650 mg at 4 to 8 and 1,200 mg at 9 to 13, according to Health Canada and the NIH; adults should stay under 2,000 mg. Taking it after a meal helps a sensitive stomach, and a pharmacist can advise if your child has kidney problems or takes medication.
