Blackmores Superkids Multi Chewables 60 tablets

Overview

Blackmores Superkids Multi Chewables provide essential nutrients to support kids’ healthy growth, development and energy.

Why use

  • Children can often have poor eating habits, which may make them vulnerable to nutritional shortfalls
  • Kids have energy and nutritional needs in order to support growth and development
  • Whilst a balanced and varied diet is by far the best way for kids to get their nutrients, it has consistently been found that picky eaters have less variety in their diets than non-picky eaters, therefore a multivitamin may help to fill some critical nutritional gaps
