Kids Vegan Calcium & Vitamin D3 Gummies
Calcium Without the Dairy.
Or the Gelatine.
If your child can't have milk, you already read ingredient lists. This one is written to be read. A calcium supplement for children aged 4 to 14: one peach gummy a day, 200mg of calcium, set with pectin, with vitamin D3 from moss rather than sheep's wool. Calcium and vitamin D are needed for normal growth and development of bone in children.¹ Sixty gummies, so two months.

Calcium for Kids Who Can't Get It the Usual Way.
Most children get their calcium from milk, cheese and yoghurt, and most children are fine. This is for the ones who can't. Dairy-free, lactose intolerant, cow's milk allergic, vegan, or simply a child who has refused every alternative you have put in the fridge.
That is who buys this, and it is who it was built for.
Why This One. Turn the Pack Over.
Pick up the other kids calcium gummies on the shelf and read the ingredient list. Two of the best-known are set with bovine gelatine. Another prints the source of its vitamin D3 on the label, and the word is lanolin, which comes off sheep's wool. A fourth is set with pectin and says nothing at all about where its vitamin D3 comes from.
Ours says moss extract. It is the only one of the four that tells you its vitamin D3 came from a plant.
Moss costs several times what lanolin does, which is why most brands use lanolin and why most children's calcium gummies are not vegan. We pay it. That is the whole difference, and it is on the back of the pack where you can check it.
One gummy. 200mg of calcium. The most of any single gummy on the shelf.
200mg of Calcium for Children, in One Gummy.
Each gummy carries 200mg of calcium, with vitamin D3 and phosphorus alongside, all from the pack's own table. The leading brand gives 140mg and asks for up to two a day. One is easier to remember than two.
One Honest Note on the Vitamin D for Kids.
The UK advises 10µg of vitamin D a day from October to March. This gummy gives 3.75µg.
So it adds vitamin D for kids rather than replacing a vitamin D drop. If your child already takes one, keep taking it, and read the next line carefully: the pack asks you not to give this alongside any other daily supplement containing vitamin D, so speak to your pharmacist about which one to keep.
What This Won't Do.
It won't do anything on the days it stays in the cupboard. It won't pretend it isn't sweet, because it's a gummy, so give it with a meal and brush as normal. And it won't know your child. Your GP does.
How You'll Know.
There is nothing to feel, and any brand telling you otherwise is guessing. What you'll know is whether it gets eaten. Most parents know that on the first day.
Sixty gummies is two months, which is a long time to find out. So if it isn't eaten, full refund within 30 days, even if the bottle is open. Taste is the whole risk in this category and we'd rather carry it than you.
How to Enjoy It.
Children aged 4 to 14 years, chew one gummy per day. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Do not give to children below 4 years of age. Chew before swallowing.
Do not use if the safety seal is damaged or broken. Do not give this product to a child in combination with any other daily food supplement containing any form of vitamin D. Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied diet and healthy lifestyle. Store at or below 25°C away from direct sunlight. Keep out of sight and reach of children.
