I've heard some good things about Patrick Holford but it's disappointing that he is recommending this supplement. Every children's supplement I've looked into (and I've looked into a lot) is rubbish -- full of chemical flavourings, and small amounts of vitamins, often no more than 100% RDA.

You're probably best to give your child a small dose of a high-quality adult multi. I've been getting a liquid multi from the US for my daughter, called Ultra Body Toddy. She's able to take a couple of pills of my own multi if I chop them in half (I take 3, 3 times a day) so she'll be doing that once this lot of liquid runs out. It's very hard to get a liquid vitamin, unfortunately. This company doesn't ship directly to the UK so I have them send to my parents, who send it here. If you're in the US you shouldn't have a problem getting it yourself.

People really need to get their act together when it comes to children's nutrition. It's the same with "children's meals" when you go to a restaurant, which is usually code for fish fingers, pizza, french fries and burgers. Because being a child somehow means that you don't need anything nutritious . . . ?

Best of luck with the vitamins, and if I were you I'd let Mr. Holford know what crap that Dino supplement is. It seems to sell really well.
