Sugar- and allergen-free kids multi
Intensive Nutrition Inc, a family-owned and operated company in California, has created a children's chewable multivitamin to combine allergen-free nutrition with a great taste. Called NutriYummies, the vitamins have no added sugar and are produced under GMP guidelines. In many kids' vitamins, fructose or glucose is the first ingredient because sugar masks the taste of the vitamins themselves. But the amount of sugar needed is so high, the vitamin profile suffers. Instead, NutriYummies use D-Mannitol, a sugar derivative not metabolized by the body that does not spike blood sugar.
