ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The founders of SmartyPants vitamins say the following about their product:
"SmartyPants was founded by parents looking to solve the oft-discussed problem of picky eaters. We created a new all-in-one pediatrician-approved multivitamin with DHA omega-3's, choline and 100% of the daily required dose of vitamin D for those of us who, despite our best efforts, might find it challenging to make sure our kids are eating enough organic fruits, veggies and fish every day to get the nutrients they need. Until now, parents have had to buy three separate vitamins to get comparable nutritional value found in SmartyPants multivitamins - a chore that is cost prohibitive and inconvenient. We don't think vitamins are a silver bullet or a substitute for eating right by any means, but they are a helpful tool as almost all parents find it challenging some times to make sure their kids are getting all the things they need from their diet.
ABOUT THE VITAMINS
Kids love the taste and texture of SmartyPants Gummy Vitamins. Our vitamins share the following attributes:
- Sweetened with a touch of organic cane sugar (NO high fructose corn syrup), our vitamins contain brain-healthy DHA Omega 3's yet taste delicious and contain only 5g of organic cane sugar per serving. That's 80% less sugar than a glass of unsweetened apple juice.
- Pediatrician Approved! Dr. Robert Kramer, Chairman of Pediatrics (Ret.), Baylor University Medical Center says "Good nutrition is key to a child's healthy brain development. As a pediatrician, I know how hard it is to get children to eat a well-balanced diet, especially for hard to get nutrients like Omega 3 DHA and vitamin D that are key to healthy development. SmartyPants helps parents ensure their children are getting all the nutrients they need."
- Handpicked ingredients that are natural and eco-friendly. The DHA omega 3's are sourced from small fish that are free of heavy metals like mercury, high concentrations of which are found in tuna and other sources typically used for omega 3 oils and are eco-friendly for the same reason.
- Matching grants for children in need is a core part of the brand.
SmartyPants' program 'Get Health, Give Health' makes a matching one for one nutrient grant for every bottle sold through a partnership with Vitamin Angels, a 5 star non-profit that provided micronutrients to over 10 million children last year. This program gives nutrients to malnourished children for every bottle sold and teaches children the positive cause and effects of giving. SmartyPants' goal is to help 1 million children in need over the next 5 years.
BUSYJULIE'S REVIEW
My kids are healthy but are on the smaller side of the growth chart. So, I make sure they take their vitamins daily so they will have all the important nutrients they need in their diet. These gummy vitamins were a hit in my house. My daughters liked them and thought they were pretty tasty. I even tried them and found them to be less gritty and more candy-like than other gummy vitamins, yet not overly sweet. My daughters enjoyed the temporary tattoos that were shipped in the package along with the vitamins. What a fun surprise! I like the philosophises of this company and their giving program and partnership with Vitamin Angels. As a mom, I like to support products and services that I feel give back to the greater good of society and help other moms and children in the world. If you feel the same way, SmartyPants is a wonderful company to support.
