10 Best Multivitamins for Kids UK 2023 | Vitabiotics, Centrum and More

Perhaps the most versatile multivitamin on the market, Chewwies are suitable for pretty much everyone: they're vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, and halal; and they're even suitable for adults, as well as kids aged 3 years and upwards – one bottle of multivitamins should cover the whole family! 

They're also incredibly tasty – without the use of sugar or any artificial ingredients – and their fun teddy-bear shapes will appeal to younger kids. Its recommended that these multivitamins be taken alongside a D3 vitamin, but Chewwies also sell D3 gummies. A truly well-rounded multivitamin for all the family.

Another entry from the UK's leading vitamin company, Vitabiotics' WellKids multivitamin contains a special formulation of 21 nutrients, including iron to aid cognitive development, and iodine to promote bone growth. 

Unfortunately, these multivitamins don't come in gummy form, and not all kids enjoy its powdery texture, but it's worth persevering to ensure they benefit from all those important vitamins. Luckily, its tasty mixed fruit flavouring should make the job a little bit easier!

The benefits of Abidec are such that it is commonly used by the NHS to aid prematurely born children in NICU wards. It's also incredibly convenient to use, being suitable for a wide age range and, unlike many other liquid multivitamins, doesn't need refrigeration.

Its strong odour and taste may not appeal to some children, and equally, its tendency to stain clothing with its vivid orange colour may not appeal to parents. It's hard to argue with it nutritional benefits though, and when it comes to these, Abidec is one of the best multivitamins available. 

This Junior Oral Spray from BetterYou is one of the only multivitamins for kids to come in spray form. The benefit of oral spray multivitamins is that there's no need to convince your child to eat an unfamiliar tablet or sneak a strange liquid into their dinner!

There's a good balance of vitamins here, and they're quick to administer, though not necessarily easy – four sprays, directly into your child's mouth, are required daily. If you're particularly keen to ensure that your child benefits as much as possible from their multivitamins, BetterYou's spray is the multivitamin for you.

Centrum's 'Kids' multivitamins are some of the most comprehensive available, covering every vitamin and mineral from A to Z – including iron for cognitive development and vitamin D for bone growth.

Unfortunately, they're not suitable for vegetarians and vegans as they contain gelatine, but for everyone else, they're incredibly affordable – a great price for such a comprehensive set of vitamins and minerals.

Haliborange's multivitamins are unique in that, along with a whole host of vitamins, they also contain calcium and iron; two minerals that are particularly important for the muscles, as well as the growth of bones, teeth, and nails.

Their orange taste makes them palatable for children, but be aware that these multivitamins do not come in the chewy, gummy form that many others do – they are powdery tablets, which some children may not appreciate! 

Vitabiotics' WellBaby formula has been specifically designed by experts to grant maximum health benefits to under 4s. Its small spoon can be a little bit tricky to use, but kids love its delicious orange taste.  

This liquid's 3-and-a-half year age range might be a little bit narrow for some, but unlike those suitable for children of all ages, these multivitamins are designed to aid the growth and cognitive development of babies and toddlers. It also contains several minerals alongside the full vitamin range. 

The fun shape and natural strawberry flavour of these Peppa Pig themed multi-vits will ensure that you'll never have to struggle to convince your child to take their daily vitamins, which can save you a lot of time and chasing. 

Their age range of four years is quite specific, but you can rest assured that these multivitamins, designed specifically by Vitabiotics experts to suit children between the ages of 3 and 7, will give your child everything they need to grow strong and healthy. 

When it comes to picking the most environmentally-friendly option, there really is no contest: Vegums come in 100% plastic-free, biodegradable packaging, and you even order refills in corn-starch tubs. 

They're also suitable for all ages, meaning you can purchase one multivitamin to cover the whole family. They're a little on the pricey side, and it's worth mentioning that Vegums don't contain the full range of vitamins. That's because they're designed for vegans – giving them less of what they'll already be getting from a plant-based diet, and more of what they need.

The best thing about these multi-vitamins from Natures Aid is how easy they are to give to your child. They're in liquid form, meaning you can simply use the included pipette to add your child's daily dose to their food or drink – its orange flavour means it's especially easy to hide in a cup of orange juice.

Its narrow age range may be problematic for those who wish to purchase a single multivitamin for several children of various ages, but on the flip side, it does mean your child is taking a vitamin tailored specifically to the needs and requirements of their age group.
