Nutri Bears Children’s Chewable Wholefood Multivitamin:
A children’s chewable multi: vitamin and mineral-enriched bear-shaped red gummies with a strawberry flavour. A new and improved formula featuring additional nutrients and improvements to taste and texture. Specially designed for children over three years old and teenagers, but suitable for adults too. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans – no gelatine.
Contains a full spectrum of nutrients (including all the B vitamins, vitamin E, zinc and iodine) at appropriate levels for children. This improved formula now features 50μg of folate (20μg as folic acid, 30μg as l-methylfolate) and 25μg of selenium per bear. With natural colours and flavours: the red colour of the gummies comes from black carotene (which contains flavonoids called anthocyanins) and paprika – the flavour is from concentrated strawberry juice and the base is pectin (a type of soluble fibre).

- Nutri Bears contain the three vitamins (vitamins A, C and D) the UK Government recommend that children under five supplement with. Each bear has 250μg of vitamin A, 10μg of vitamin D3 and 10mg of vitamin C
- Nutrients are in a bioavailable form and gentle on the tummy. Includes pectin – a type of soluble fibre
- Specially designed for children over three years old and teenagers, but suitable for adults too. These gummies are not suitable for children under three years of age
- Suitable for vegetarians and vegans (no gelatine)
Suitable for: Vegetarians, vegans and for people with Candida and yeast sensitivities.
NatureDoc note: These Nutri Bears are on their third formulation. The nutrients and flavour are different to the previous versions, and so we have removed reviews relating to previous versions that could be misleading. The original Nutri Bears gained an improved nutrient profile, but a number of discerning children refused to eat them as this made them a little bitter (the bears not the children). Then in V.3, the flavour was improved, and this is what we have now!

Child declined to chew the gummy due to disgusting taste. Now have a practically full bottle in the cupboard which will remain unused. Expensive trial.

Hello, I’m sorry to hear you had this experience. Unfortunately what is yum to some kids is yuk to others. We had some problems with a previous formulation. If I remember rightly, a few years ago, they decided to increase the levels of B vitamins and this cause lots of complaints about the flavour, as B vitamins, while vital, can be a bit strong. So they reformulated again with a stronger flavour to mask that. Since then, these have been generally well accepted and are now one of our most popular multis. As with all feedback and reviews we are grateful to have an honest balance of opinions. So thank you for this.

My 4 year old daughter reminds me that she needs to take one each morning. As far as gummies go, for ease, I’m happy with the ingredients until she can swallow tablets!

Our children like these so I’ve given up on the types you swallow and I re-order these -and even take them on holiday with us! Seems quite good for different ages too as our toddler is allowed one while the other two have to hide the fact they are allowed more !

My twins remind me to give them this if I’ve forgotten it at breakfast time! It wasn’t until I looked at the ingredients that i realised why its so popular when other multivits have not been. It contains sugar! But I’ve decided for now the benefits must outweigh the tiny amount it contains!

My son took a bit of getting used to the flavour (compared to the Bassett’s ones for example, but I think this is a better vitamin offering) but he’s used to them now and takes them with no complaints.
