Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I am so bummed. When I went to Costco to buy another bottle of the L'il Critters Omega 3 gummy-type vitamins, I checked the ingredients, as always. This time, it listed " gelatin " . I checked a number of the bottles, thinking there might be old and new formulations. Couldn't find any that were veggie, even though there were two slightly different labels on the bottles. Checked our old bottle at home and that definitely DID NOT say gelatin on it. So, somehow, since I last checked with the company, they've changed their formula or finally admitted that they do indeed put gelatin in them. Darn it.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I had a really hard time finding vegetarian vitamins the last time I tried to get vitamins for my daughter. I went to CVS and I got a vegetarian formula generic multivitamin and they also had a generic version of the little critter's omega 3 supplement and it doesn't have gelatin in it. None of the name-brand stuff was vegetarian. You might try CVS.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 Hi Liz, We have recently discovered " Voots. " They are an all natural dietary supplement for kids, made from fruits and veggies. My son loves them.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I thought the Trader Joe's one was vegetarian but now I've looked at the label it doesn't actually SAY it is. And I can't decipher all of those ingredients.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 The CVS multivitamin gummies say Vegetarian formula. The CVS version of the little critters says the same ingredients that the lil' critters used to say and it comes from algae and no gelatin.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 New Chapter Organics makes an organic vegetarian " pixie " style childrens vitamin in berry or apple flavor. My daughter loves them! Not sure about vegan, I'll e-mail them & ask, but I do know for certain they are organic & vegetarian. , ERB <bakwin wrote: > > I am so bummed. > > When I went to Costco to buy another bottle of the L'il Critters Omega 3 gummy-type vitamins, I checked the ingredients, as always.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 I sell vegetarian multivitamins for adults and children (might-a-mins), it also contains no wheat, soy, yeast, gluten, artificial flavors, starch, salt, preservatives or milk. Not to be a commercial, but...it comes in isotinic form, which means that when mixed with the proper amount of water, it comes in powder form, it is in the same fluid state as your body fluids (ie. tears). Therefore it is absorbed within 10 minutes into your body and it has a 90% absorbtion, unlike pills which have less than 50%, if at all. Anyways, anyone can check them out, if you want to know all the science behind them at my web portal: www.befreelivetoday1.com On the left side there is a health and nutrition line, click on that and scroll down to isotonix and it will be there. My children have always taken it and when I was pregnant with my (now)8yo, I took the adult multitech witamins and did not have to take those " horse pills " because these vitamins had MORE of what my body needed than those things. My children ask for them and when their friends sleep over they ask for them also!

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 They are CVS Pharmacy brand so they should have them at all the stores I would think. The multi-vitamin says " GUMMY SWIRLS: Great Tasting & Vegetarian Approved Multi-Vitamin & Mineral Supplement " and the omega-3 says " GREAT TASTE! OMEGA-3 GUMMY FISH with DHA Brain Booster*...

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I was at CVS today and the ingredient list has now changed on their generic brand from what I have at home.
