Ok, so the other day I was in Target picking up a few things with my husband and son. I remembered that I needed to get Grae some vitamins. As a toddler he does not eat anywhere near what he should eat as far as full nutrition. If you consider his diet, he needs a miracle vitamin. So anyways, as I round the corner to the vitamin isle I am stopped in my tracks! How in the world can one store carry so many vitamins? Thank the Lord I was there for his vitamins and not on a quest for a vitamin for myself, because I would have fainted of pure exhaustion from the search. There are over 200 vitamins that our body requires on a monthly basis. I know as well as most, I do not get all the vitamins I need. Being that I was providing my son with his simple (chewy vitamins with iron), I decided that I may need to find me a vitamin as well so I tried these chewy creatures that I give my son, and I have to say... they are not half bad.
I do wonder though, why give us so much vitamin C if we intend to just pee it all out? And why do they never give us Vitamin D, if these are for kiddos why not give them what they may be missing and not all the other stuff that even I cannot pronounce? You will have to search high and low to find a kiddy vitamin with Iron or Vitamin D, which according to my pedi, are CRUCIAL to toddlers.
GNC here I come...???
