Assess each statement below. If you relate to one or more, then Kid’s Multivitamin Chewable MF may be the multivitamin supplement your child needs†:
On bad days, I find that my kid tends to be more aggressive, anxious, more reactive, irritable, has difficulty transitioning from one task to another, has headaches and difficulty falling asleep. My kid is sensitive to methylated nutrients like L-methylfolate and methylcobalamin. My kid is 1 years old or above. I’m looking for a great-tasting, healthy multivitamin they will ask for vs me having to fight them. I need a kid’s multivitamin with iron to support healthy levels of red blood cells. Screens are present in my kid’s life. I want a chewable multivitamin that supports healthy eyesight. Vitamin D and K are an important combination for my kid’s health. It would be ideal if their multivitamin has 1,000 IU of vitamin D and 30 mcg of Vitamin K2 as MK7. Immune support is top of mind. I need a kid’s multivitamin that uses healthy amounts and quality forms of zinc, selenium, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin C, vitamin E. My kid has a sensitive stomach. They need vitamins and minerals that are gentle on the stomach, and well-absorbed.
If a number of those resonated with you, then Kid’s Multivitamin Chewable MF is something that you should seriously consider.†
If none of the statements above relate to your child’s current life situation, then Kid’s Multivitamin Chewable MF is most likely not something they need right now.

Key Ingredients In Kids Multivitamin Chewable MF
Non-methylated Folate: Folinic acid (calcium folinate) supports methylation, genetic expression, and brain development.†
Vitamin A & carotenoids: Two forms of vitamin A, plus lutein and zeaxanthin, support healthy vision and immune system function.†
Vitamins E & C: Supports a healthy response to oxidative stress and overall antioxidant levels.†
Boron, Vitamins D & K2: Supports healthy bones and calcium utilization..†
Bioavailable B12: Adenosyl- and methyl-cobalamin are coenzyme forms of vitamin B12. They support energy production and the utilization of folate for methylation processes.†
Chelated minerals: Minerals in their chelated forms support digestion and stomach comfort. Iron, zinc, manganese, chromium and molybdenum support healthy blood cells and overall growth and development.†
Essential B Vitamins: Thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, biotin, and pantothenic acid in their active forms support healthy energy production and genetic development.†
Why Kids Multivitamin Chewable MF Works
The types of folate and B12 make a huge difference in how your kid responds to their multivitamin.
Kid’s Multivitamin Chewable MF contains a significantly less stimulating type of vitamin B12 and folate than the regular methylated version of Kid’s Multivitamin Chewable.†
In the MF version:
For the vitamin B12, we use the non-methylated, yet quality form of B12 known as hydroxocobalamin.
For the folate, we use the non-methylated, yet bioavailable form of folate called folinic acid.
Key features of Kid’s Multivitamin Chewable:†
Growth & Development is supported with an ideal ratio of essential vitamins, minerals, and trace minerals. These synergistically support optimal development and function of the nervous system, brain, hormones, bones, muscles, and organs.
Methylation support is provided by the more gentle forms of folate known as folinic acid and hydroxocobalamin. Vitamin B2, known as riboflavin, also support the healthy functioning of the MTHFR gene. Vitamin B6 (as P-5-P) also supports healthy glutathione production which, in turn, supports methylation.
Antioxidants support a healthy immune response. We include vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A, CoQ10, L-carnitine and zinc.
Eye & Vision support from 2 forms of vitamin A and lutein, a yellow carotenoid from marigold flower. Supporting the eyes is particularly important with increased exposure to the irritating blue light emitted from screens.
Healthy blood sugar & Insulin support is provided from chromium, zinc, CoQ10 and carnitine.
Bone health support from the combination of vitamin D, vitamin K2 as MK7, boron.

Dr. Lynch's Tips
Knowing when to give your kid a multivitamin is an important skill to acquire.
Contrary to popular belief, multivitamins should not be used every day.
A multivitamin is a supplement to your kid’s diet, environment and lifestyle.
If your kid’s diet, environment and lifestyle are depleting or not providing enough nutrients, then supplementing with Kid’s Multivitamin Chewable MF may be helpful.†
If your kid is eating very well, on vacation, relaxed and in a good mood with good energy, then, during these times, consider skipping their multivitamin.
To give you an idea, I typically give my sons a multivitamin a few times a week.
However, if I notice they are dirtying their genes by staying up way too late, changing time zones, eating poorly or being very active with sports, I will support them with their multivitamin.†
If I notice them in a good mood in the morning and full of energy, I don’t give them their multivitamin. Why? They are showing signs of clean genes. Clean genes already have sufficient nutrients on board.
Here are moments that help you identify when to give your kid a serving of Kid’s Multivitamin Chewable MF:†
They are not eating as healthy as you would like.
They are participating in sports.
In the morning, they are dragging with low energy and low mood.
In the early afternoon, they are brain dead and tired.
Key Tip:
I really like giving ½ the suggested serving size with breakfast. I do not like giving a full serving size as it can be too stimulating causing your kid to be irritable and impatient.
For kids 1 to 3 years old, this means you cut the chewable tablet in ½ and put the other ½ back in the bottle.
Only give the other ½ of the suggested serving size in the afternoon, no later than 1 pm, if, and only if, you notice they are dragging or need some support for after school activities.†
If you notice at bedtime they are restless, having difficulty falling asleep, then do not give them their afternoon portion. If you didn’t give them their afternoon serving and they are still restless before bed, then consider giving them ½ the suggested serving with their breakfast. If you already gave them ½ the suggested serving, did you need to give them the multivitamin in the first place? Should you have not given it to them and you did because you didn’t pay attention to how they were acting? You have to pay attention.
Side Effects:
Have you noticed your kid experiencing any of these since starting this multivitamin:
more irritable or anxious
having headaches more frequently
difficulty falling asleep
If so, pause using the Kid’s Multivitamin Chewable MF for a few days.
See if those symptoms go away or improve significantly.
If you see your kid’s symptoms improve by stopping the multivitamin, here are some very useful tips to apply:
Use the supplement less frequently. Pay better attention to how they are feeling before you give them their multivitamin. They may only need it a few days a week. If you’re already using it only a few days a week, go down to two days a week.
Reduce the serving size that you gave by ½. For example, if you gave 1 chewable, give ½ a chewable with breakfast - and only breakfast.
What other supplements are you using? I often see parents giving additional B vitamins. Unless advised by your health professional, do not give additional B vitamins along with our multiivtamins. They are getting sufficient amounts already.
The key is really paying attention to your kid. How are they doing before you give them their multivitamin? It literally takes 30 seconds of observation, a 20 second mental recap of how they slept and ate the day before along with 10 seconds of mentally reviewing their upcoming day’s events.
With these tips, you will be nourishing your kid and your relationship with them.
