Omni Jr.
DaVinci Laboratories Of Vermont
Overview
Omni Jr. delivers a comprehensive array of vitamins and minerals. While many ingredients are present in forms with good bioavailability, the dosing for several key nutrients, especially when considering the recommendation of one wafer per meal (up to three daily), can vary from optimal for certain age groups for a single wafer.
The Good
Comprehensive Nutrient Profile: Contains a broad range of vitamins and minerals vital for growth and development.
Bioavailable Forms: Includes Vitamin D3 and various mineral chelates (e.g., zinc gluconate, manganese gluconate, ferrous bisglycinate) for improved absorption.
B-Vitamin Support: Provides robust dosages of B vitamins crucial for energy metabolism and nervous system health.
The Bad
Excipient Concerns: Contains sorbitol and fructose, which may cause gastrointestinal issues in sensitive individuals and contribute to sugar intake.
Iron Overdose Risk: Standard warning for iron-containing products applies, emphasizing the importance of keeping out of reach of young children.
Variable Dosing Across Ages: While marketed for "older children and young adults," optimal nutrient needs differ widely within this range, potentially leading to underdosing for some and adequate for others.
Is it for you?
Best For: Children, parents seeking nutritional support for their kids
Skip If: Your child has specific allergies to common multivitamin ingredients or is already taking other supplements that might lead to excessive nutrient intake.
