Vitamin C and vitamin D: basics for parents

These two vitamins are common in kids' supplements for a reason: they are familiar, widely discussed and easy to find on a panel.
Where they come from
Vitamin C is found in citrus, berries and peppers. Vitamin D comes from sunlight, fortified foods like milk and cereal, and supplements.
On a gummy label
Punchies list 30mg of vitamin C and 200IU of vitamin D per five-gummy serving. Compare that to any other supplement your child takes. See Punchies kids protein gummies for the full panel.
What a label cannot tell you
A label tells you what is in a serving. It cannot tell you what your child needs, which depends on age, diet, health and sun exposure. That is a conversation for your pediatrician.
Do not double up
Ask before combining supplements, and keep a list. Related reading: Shake-free protein snacks for school days on kidsproteinshake.com.
