What it is (in one line)
A premium, dissolvable disc kids multivitamin (4+), built around active B-vitamins, zinc bisglycinate, and modest amounts of vegan DHA, lutein, and zeaxanthin.
Note: the disc line has been discontinued; remaining stock is retailer-only.
Form factor: dissolvable “nutrient discs”
Instead of gummies, one disc dissolves in 4–8 oz liquid (or mixes into applesauce/yogurt). Flavor is strawberry-kiwi. The format removed plastic bottles and shipped light, but requires daily mixing.
- Pros: no sugar-loaded gummies; pill-free; eco-leaning packaging approach.
- Cons: not grab-and-go; single flavor; product line discontinued → limited availability.
Bottom line: friendly for kids who dislike pills, but less convenient than a gummy.
Formula highlights (and what’s missing)
What you get: Vitamin D3 at 100% DV; zinc as bisglycinate chelate; choline + vegan DHA; active B-forms (R-5′-P, P5P, 5-MTHF, methyl-B12); K2 (MK-7); magnesium as citrate/malate.
What’s absent: B1, B3, selenium, molybdenum, potassium — this is not a “kitchen-sink” base.
Interpretation: favors quality of forms over breadth. For healthy, balanced diets, omissions may not be critical; for patchy diets, gaps remain.
Absorption choices that make sense
Mineral forms are thoughtfully chosen: zinc bisglycinate (chelated) and magnesium citrate/malate outperform cheap salts like oxide in solubility and tolerance.
Takeaway: better forms → better odds of real-world uptake at kid-appropriate doses.
DHA, lutein & zeaxanthin: is the eye/brain angle justified?
DHA supports brain and retinal development; algal source keeps it vegan. Doses here are modest (~50 mg), so think of it as a baseline top-up.
Lutein + zeaxanthin (macular carotenoids) help build MPOD; pediatric data are emerging. The included 1 mg/0.2 mg are light but directionally helpful for low-veg diets.
Practical note: benefits are incremental; diet quality still leads.
Sugar, fillers & allergens
Positioned as no added sugar, no artificial colors/flavors, vegan (including D3 and DHA). Still review the full excipient list for sensitivities.
Who cares: parents avoiding candy-like gummies yet wanting a pleasant flavor profile.
Availability & quality signals
Status: the disc suite is discontinued; expect spotty stock and price variability. As a supplement (not a drug), independent third-party seals may be absent on remaining listings.
Guidance: align with pediatric advice — healthy kids on balanced diets often don’t need a multivitamin; use as gap insurance when diet is limited.
Who is it (actually) for?
- Picky eaters / low fish & veg: modest vegan DHA for kids + choline + macular carotenoids as a daily top-up.
- Form snobs, not megadosers: prefer activated Bs, chelated minerals, sane dosing.
- Not ideal if you want maximal breadth (B1/B3/Se/Mo/K absent) or zero-effort formats.
Verdict
A thoughtful, quality-first kids’ multi with unusual extras (algal DHA + eye carotenoids) and upgraded forms (chelated zinc; active Bs). Downsides are practical: daily dissolving, single flavor, modest DHA/carotenoid doses, and — most importantly — discontinued status.
Recommendation: if you can still source it and value form quality over breadth, it’s a solid pick; otherwise, seek currently available kids’ multis with similar formulation principles and add a separate algal DHA if needed.
