MaryRuth Organics Kids Vitamin C Drops

In a highly processed world, I focus on choosing better or best low-tox options where possible. With kids’ vitamin supplements, I’m not just looking at the nutrient on the front label. I also pay attention to sweeteners, preservatives, flavoring, and how “extra” the formula gets, because that’s where kids supplements can start to feel more like candy than something supportive.

What I look for

I look for a simple formula with clearly stated ingredients, minimal sweeteners, and no artificial colors. I also look at preservatives and prefer options that don’t rely on unnecessary preservative systems, keeping the formula as straightforward as possible.

What I like

I like that this is a simple liquid drops option with a clearly stated ingredient list and avoids a lot of the added sweeteners, preservatives, and extras you see in many kids’ vitamin products. The drops format also makes it easy to adjust how it’s taken.

Things to keep in mind

This product is flavored, which is typical for kids’ drops. If your child is sensitive to flavors, you may need to experiment with serving it directly or mixing it into food or drink. As always, I’m mindful of total supplement intake if you’re already using a multivitamin or immune blend.
