Daily Tip: Children Vitamins May Contain Lead

Daily Tip:  Check To Make Sure Your Child’s Vitamins are Lead Free

As noted compiled by Treehugger from FDA data:

“Top 10 children’s vitamins with the least lead (0-6 years)
1. Twinlab Infant Care
2. Natrol Liquid Kids Companion
3. NF Formulas Liquid Pediatric
4. Windmill Bite-A-Mins
5. Kids Liquid Dolphin Pals
6. My First Flintstones
7. Natural Wealth Children’s Chewable Multivitamins Plus Extra C
8. Uno Diario Ninos
9. Flintstones Plus Immunity Support
10. Natural Wealth Children’s Chewable Multivitamins

Top 10 children’s vitamins with the most lead (0-6 years)
1. Nature’s Plus Animal Parade Shake
2. Superior Multi Age
3. Nutraceutical Pedia Power
4. Physio Kids Multilogics Chewable
5. Ola Loa Kids
6. Nature’s Plus Animal Parade
7. Vita-Big-Kids
8. Wonder Laboratories Formula Nineteen
9. Clinicians Choice Chewable Daily Multivitamins
10. Dynamic Health Multi for Children

It is important to note that the FDA does not consider these vitamins to be unsafe because of the trace lead amounts (although I do not find this comforting). There is also naturally (and pollution based) lead in our food and soil, in some cases much more than is present in these vitamins. My point is that multiple exposures can add up and be damaging, and this one is avoidable.
