How to Read a Supplement’s Nutrition Facts Label

Serving Size

This tells you how much of the product is considered one dose. For gummies, this might be 1 or 2 gummies per day. Make sure you're comparing the dose per serving—not per gummy!

Tip: Don’t assume “more is better.” Follow the label unless advised differently by your pediatrician.

% Daily Value (%DV)

This number shows how much of a nutrient is in one serving, compared to the daily recommended amount for the average person.

For kids’ vitamins, these values are usually based on children ages 1–3 or 4–8, so check which age group the label refers to.

100% DV means the supplement provides the full recommended daily amount for that age.

More than 100% DV is sometimes used for nutrients where the body doesn’t absorb everything (like vitamin C or B12), but you still want to avoid very high amounts unless recommended by a doctor.

Note: %DV is a guide—not a limit. But excessive intake of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K can be harmful if taken long-term in high doses.

3. What Do the Nutrients Actually Do?

Here’s a quick breakdown of some common nutrients found in kids’ multivitamin gummies:

Vitamin D: Bone strength & immune support

Vitamin A: Eye health & growth

Vitamin C: Immune support & skin repair

B Vitamins (B6, B12, etc.): Energy & brain development

Zinc: Growth, healing, and immunity

Iron: Oxygen transport & brain function (especially important for kids who eat less meat)

Folic Acid: Supports cell growth and development

Rutin & antioxidants: Help protect the body from stress and support circulation

4. How Do I Know If This Is the Right Dose for My Child?

Here’s what to consider:

• Check your child’s diet: If your child already eats a variety of fruits, vegetables, and whole foods, they may not need high doses of certain vitamins.
• Talk to your pediatrician: Especially important for nutrients like iron, vitamin D, and others where too much can cause harm.
• Look for age-appropriate formulas: Always choose supplements made for your child’s age group. Adult supplements can have unsafe levels for younger children.

Our multivitamin gummies are formulated specifically for children's daily needs, so you don’t have to guess.

Bonus: Other Label Terms to Know

“No artificial colors/flavors”: Means cleaner ingredients—good for sensitive kids.

“Non-GMO” or “Vegan”: If that’s important to your family, check for these certifications.

Storage: Keep supplements in a cool, dry place and away from kids’ reach (yes, even tasty gummies!).

Final Thoughts: Making Smart Choices at Every Age

Reading the Nutrition Facts label is the first step toward making informed, healthy choices for yourself or your child. No matter the age, the goal isn’t to “max out” every vitamin or mineral—but to fill in the nutritional gaps that diet alone might not cover.

How to Build a Healthy Gummy Habit

Creating a new wellness routine doesn't have to be complicated—especially when it tastes this good! Building a consistent habit with your daily gummy supplement is all about simplicity, routine, and a little planning. Here’s how to make your gummy game strong, consistent, and effortless:

1. Pick a Time That Works for You

Whether it’s right after breakfast, just before brushing teeth, or with your child’s bedtime routine, the best time to take your gummies is… the time you’ll actually remember. Tie it to a daily ritual you’re already doing to build it seamlessly into your schedule.

Example: "We take our gummies right after brushing teeth in the morning—easy to remember and fun for the kids!"

2. Keep Them Where You Can See Them

Out of sight, out of mind. Keep your gummy container in a safe, visible spot—on the kitchen counter, near your toothbrush, or with your morning coffee station. For kids, store them up high but still within visual reach to create a visual cue (and avoid them sneaking extras!).

3. Use a Reminder (Until It’s Second Nature)

At first, set a phone reminder or write a sticky note on the fridge. Many people build a solid habit after just a few weeks—but those little nudges help early on.

Pro tip: Set a family alarm—like “Gummy Time!”—that turns it into a shared ritual.

4. Know Whether to Take With Food

Some nutrients absorb better with a small meal (like vitamin D and A), while others are fine on an empty stomach. Read the label or check your product FAQ for tips. When in doubt, a light breakfast or snack works great!

5. Make It Enjoyable

Gummies already taste great—so use that to your advantage. Treat it like a mini moment of self-care (or a fun start to your child’s day). Some families even turn it into a small “health check-in” ritual.

6. Turn It Into a Family Habit

When kids see adults taking their vitamins, they’re more likely to remember theirs too. Make it a group effort—"Gummy Cheers!" anyone?

Bonus: Why Consistency Matters

Vitamins work best when taken consistently. Nutrients like vitamin D, zinc, and B12 build up in the body gradually—so a daily habit ensures steady support for growth, energy, and immunity.

In a Nutshell

Start small, stay consistent, and keep it fun. With the right routine, your daily gummy habit will go from “one more thing to remember” to something you (and your family) actually look forward to.
