Haliborange Fruit Softies Review

We were recently given the opportunity to try out Haliborange's new Kids Multivitamin fruit softies.


Both the mini's are given brain and body tablets each evening (or Omega3 and Multivitamins to give them their correct names), so we welcomed the chance to try an alternative brand.

Firstly the science bit.......


From 3 years onwards, Haliborange Multivitamin Fruit Softies taste delicious and contain 8 essential vitamins, which may help promote healthy growth and development.

Haliborange Kids Multivitamin Fruit Softies contain –


Vitamin A for healthy eyes
Vitamin B contributing to release of energy from food
Vitamin C helps support the immune system
Vitamin D helps the body’s absorption of calcium, promoting strong bones and teeth
Vitamin E Provides antioxidant protection of body tissues to promote general good health

RRP of £3.99 for 30

Both the boys loved the taste and texture of the softies and they are just like jelly sweets, so no problem getting them to take them, in fact the often asked for another.

I know that it is not necessary to give children multi-vitamins, but I would rather err on the side of caution, especially with MaxiMad starting school and MiniMad going to start nursery even though neither of them are fussy eaters.

My only issues with these are that they have "Kids" on the label.  I would much prefer it to say children, but then that is just me.  The other issue I have is they are not suitable for vegetarians and they don't say this on the packaging.  Neither of my children are vegetarians, but surely a multi vitamin should be aimed at all children.  You have to go on to the website or read the full list of ingredients to find this information out.

So these are definitely worth trying if you have a child that needs a multivitamin
