Does anybody know of a similar raw iron supplement for infants/toddlers? (Without GMO and all other stuff they put in vitamins).

garden of life emailed me suggesting i give this raw iron to my 6 yr old. since they removed the iron from the kids multivitamin. i'm thinking i'll start with half a caspule. my daughter still takes the multivitamin from garden of life, but she get dark circles when she misses iron. since this is the only iron that has suited me, and i have anemia, i wish i found this years ago esp during pregnancy. the family multivitamin only has 11% iron with 4 capsules doesnt make sense. that means if i give her 2 capsules she gets 5% iron. our food is good vegetarian and she eats a lot of greens and beets and stuff... so some times iron has to be supplemented.

How old is your baby? If she's on solids, I would consider supplementing via food (homemade fruit and vegetable purees). http://www.naturalnews.com/038591_iron_deficiency_supplements_infants.html

I take this Iron Zahlers Iron Complex, Complete Blood Building Iron Supplement with Ferrochel, Easy on the Stomach Iron Pills with Vitamin C, Optimal Absorption, #1 Top Quality All Natural Iron Vitamin, Kosher Certified, 100 Capsules which 1 Capsule is equivalent to 325mg of prescribed Iron. I've seen amazing results on these. Plus it already contains Vitamin C in it, meaning that I didn't have to add on any additional supplement.

Yes my kids have taken it since they were 2. Only fruits and vegetables. I took them when I was pregnant.

I did not see any ingredients that made me think of GMO's or I would not be taking them. I like them because they are smaller that most multi vitamins and easier to digest. They also help with regulating my digestive system.

I see no reason why kids could not take Greens First. It's a supplement that feeds the cells and boosts the immune system, so I believe it's helpful for everyone. Of course, I'm not a doctor, but this is my opinion.

There is none. These are highly specialized, highly processed products that are used by very few babies fortunately (sadly mine among them). It stopped her diarreah in 12 hours, and she immediately began to thrive and gain weight. I wouldn't muck around for anything trying to find cheap substitutes. That said, it is outragously expensive, and should be subsidized at a minimum (national health care would be better), and it smells quite nasty. I have been told that it can be difficult to get the infant to take the formula after 3 months because they develop a sense of taste, so don't wait. The cheapest I have found is $119.99. Beware of scam artists out there. Don't ever buy off of ebay, etc. and always check the expiration date. Good luck.

I checked the bottle and don't seen any iron listed. They have a website: www.gummyvites.com I haven't looked at the webiste, but I am sure they have more info about their products than Amazon. And really, they should make that info available on Amazon's website because you are purchasing something you are ingesting into your body. I purchased these the first time from Sam's Club and so I read what was on the package at that time. I do like them. They are easier to take than the capsules I was taking and they don't upset my stomach. Hope this helps.

Yes my kids hated this. I switched to this multivitamin Zahler Junior Multi, Chewable Multivitamin and Mineral Supplement for Kids, Childrens Great Tasting Cherry Chewable Tablets, All Natural Color and Flavor, 180 Chewable Tablets and my kids absolutely love it!

It isn't! It hasn't helped me even one bit with my iron levels, I recently switched to this Iron Zahlers Iron Complex, Complete Blood Building Iron Supplement with Ferrochel, Easy on the Stomach Iron Pills with Vitamin C, Optimal Absorption, #1 Top Quality All Natural Iron Vitamin, Kosher Certified, 100 Capsules and the results were much greater!! They didn't constipate me and it also has Vitamin C in it. My levels went up really quickly after switching to this one.

Sorry, I just noticed your question. It states that there is not a significant amount of Vitamin C or Iron.

Hello, After emailing the Swanson companies customer service, I found that the vitamin C powder that you were asking about in fact is not non-GMO free, I am always looking for the heathiest products and I personaly feel that this is a good product and I take it daily. Mark

I recently found out that this company carries a brand of Vitamines that have traces of lead that the government considers "safe" I have not yet confirmed that the ORGANIC line has lead. Might want to research that first. If it is lead free then yes, I used to give these to my 2 yo.

GMO! I bought it thinking it was not. I will be returning it. Google GMO free vitamin C. There's one made in England.

I am currently out of Pedia Vites and have Child Life multi vitamins. I do know the ingredients are better in the Pedia Vites.

I'm over 65 and a doctor advised me not to supplement iron, and so I don't want it in my vitamins. But if you want more info, I have been buying from the makers of the product for about 20 years and trust them a lot. You can go to www.thesynergycompany.com for info and contact info. Mitchell May, who started the company, seems to be an outstanding person and I trust them. I have been taking many of their products over time.

Yes, it is. I don't count on the iron content for my total iron needs, though. I use a 325mg ferrous sulfate supplement.

Dr Fuhrman's vitamins contain no iron or folic acid. They also don't contain vitamin A which I love.
