I like that they don't have one hundred percent of any vitamin in them, It has always seemed a waste to me since the human body won't absorb one hundred percent of the vitamin
Now, for one of the most important parts.....The taste! They taste pretty much like regular gummy bears, which is great if you have picky children. It does encourage the "candy" aspect of medicine though, so I am not sure if this is more a downside than an upside.
The "serving size" is listed as two gummies, so another nice thing is that you can give your kids two at once, or split them up, one in the morning, one in the evening.
Really, the only (somewhat dubious) downside is the "candy" aspect with them, in my opinion. I will probably be buying them again.
I was chosen to. I had the same opinion about the candy aspect of them. My 3 year old thought they were candy. Which made me a little nervous though they are vitamins. I think I will stick with the regular Flintstones vitamins till he is older. My 8 year old loved the gummy vitamins though.
