While I was pregnant with Tyler Junior, I continued to take Nutrilite vitamins. My doctor was shocked at how great they were even as a Pre-Natal vitamin, and was happy for me to continue on them through pregnancy. After giving birth & finishing with the nursing season, I did not want Tyler Junior to go without Nutrilite in his system because he had remained so healthy. There is where I began to do some research on a Nutrilite chewable vitamin for him.
I had a friend tell me some interesting news that she learned after bringing in a Nutrilite Kid's chewable multi-vitamin to her Pediatrician to get his opinion. He was very impressed that this chewable had a pretty rare ingredient. Aside from the Vitamin A, C, D, E, K (and tons more), the first ingredient on the list was Xylitol. He actually told my friend that he prescribes Xylitol to mom's who want to help AVOID their kids from getting ear infections. I thought that was pretty awesome! I also found some other info online that said it helped reduce cavities as well. Cool! I'm sure ya'll do your own research, but just thought I'd share mine.
Nutrilite Kids Multitarts (item #: 104276) - MultiTarts are packed with 19 vitamins and minerals, plus four all-natural and unique fruit concentrates. 60 tablets - $16.95 (so for Tyler Jr, that would last OVER 4 months since I cut his in half until he turns 2 years old).
- Children (ages 2-4) or who are able to chew well can have ONE chewable/day, and kids over 4 years old & Adults can have TWO/day.

** Xylitol is a great option for those that are seeking to avoid ear infections. This naturally occurring substance has proven to reduce the incidence of ear infection in those that have a history of them. The substance is derived from raspberries as well as plums and is a naturally occurring sweetener. Not only is it effective, Xylitol has no addictive components, which is so very important to many consumers! (http://ezinearticles.com/?Xylitol-and-Ear-Infection-Treatment&id=571801)
** Xylitol helps reduce cavities. Xylitol reduces the amount of bacteria and the formation of dental plaque. It is now being used to sweeten some chewing gums and mints, and unlike sugar, it's good for your teeth. Found in many fruits and plants, xylitol is also produced by our bodies during metabolism.
