If your child is going through a beige food phase (or has never left one), you're in good company. Most kids have gaps in their diet at some point, and having a reliable everyday multivitamin in the mix can take some of the pressure off.
What it is
Fussy Essentials is a strawberry-flavoured chewable multivitamin containing 20 vitamins and minerals formulated specifically for children to help maintain nutrient levels within the normal range when dietary intake is inadequate. It covers the common gaps seen in children's diets, including iron, zinc, iodine, vitamin D3, vitamin C, and a full B complex, all in a form that's easy for kids to take daily.
What sets this formula apart is the use of active and bioavailable nutrient forms throughout, including active B vitamins (folinic acid rather than synthetic folic acid, methylcobalamin for B12, and pyridoxal-5-phosphate for B6), making it suitable for children with MTHFR variations. It also includes choline, lutein and vegan vitamin D3 (VegaDelight), and vitamin K2 (MenaQ7).
Why we love it
A good quality children's multivitamin is one of the most common things families ask me about, and I'm particular about the forms used. I appreciate that this one uses active B vitamins and avoids synthetic folic acid, which matters a lot for kids who have MTHFR or whose families want to be cautious. It's a genuinely well-constructed formula for everyday nutritional support, not just a glorified lolly.

Active B vitamins throughout, including folinic acid, methylcobalamin (B12) and pyridoxal-5-phosphate (B6), suitable for children with MTHFR
