Reviews and prices
The Jungle responds mostly positively to multivitamins. Children like the form of such vitamins and their taste, and mothers are pleased with the rich composition and good tolerance of the drugs.
Another advantage of the Jungle supplements is their low cost. A pack of 30 chewable multivitamin tablets costs an average of 120 rubles, a complex with minerals costs an average of 180 rubles, and for a pack of 100 tablets you need to pay 225-265 rubles.
As for the disadvantages, occasionally an allergic reaction appears on the Jungle. It also happens that the child does not like this version of chewable tablets, either in consistency or in taste. Some mothers are unhappy with the fact that the packaging opens quite easily and there is a high risk that the child will get to the vitamins on his own.
Replacement products
If necessary, the Jungle can be replaced with any other multivitamins allowed in childhood, for example, Pikovit, Multi-tabs, Supradin, Vitrum and others.
At the same time, any mother can avoid taking vitamin complexes if she tries to balance the children's menu to the maximum.
In order to fully meet their needs for vitamin compounds and mineral salts in the diet of children, vegetables, meat dishes, dairy products, berries, fresh herbs, fruits, cereals, vegetable oils and other food groups should be present.
