Reviews and prices
Parents who have experience in the use of Vitrum vitamins in children speak about such supplements mostly positively. Among the advantages are the attractive packaging, the pleasant taste of vitamins and the rich composition. Most mothers emphasize that the use of Vitrum complexes improved the child's appetite, reduced the frequency of diseases and normalized sleep.
As for the disadvantages, there are complaints about problems with chewing, the presence of synthetic additives, as well as a rather high price. A pack of 30 tablets costs an average of 400-500 rubles, and for a pack of 60 vitamins, you need to pay an average of 500-700 rubles.
In some children, these vitamins have caused allergies. Also, mothers noted that Vitrum supplements can change the color of feces (due to iron) and urine (due to vitamin B2). If the mother did not read the instructions before giving the complex to the child, such changes caused her unnecessary worries.
