L'il Critters Gummy Vites Review
Quick Take
L'il Critters is one of the best-selling children's vitamins in America, found in every grocery store and pharmacy. The taste is excellent (kids beg for them), and the price is hard to beat. However, ingredient quality is where L'il Critters falls short of our standards.
Safety Analysis (6.5/10)
Mixed Bag: Some L'il Critters products contain artificial colors (varies by product line). The Complete Multivitamin uses natural colors, but other varieties do not.
High Sugar: 3g sugar per 2-gummy serving from glucose syrup and sugar. Multiple servings daily adds up.
Synthetic Forms: Uses folic acid and cyanocobalamin rather than methylated forms.
No Third-Party Publishing: Church & Dwight (parent company) does not publish third-party test results.
Efficacy Analysis (7.5/10)
11 Essential Vitamins:
- Vitamin A, C, D3, E, B6, B12
- Folic Acid, Biotin, Pantothenic Acid
- Zinc, Iodine
Adequate but Basic: Covers essential vitamins but at lower potencies with less bioavailable forms than premium options.
Value Assessment (9.0/10)
At $12.99 for 120 gummies (60 servings), this is $0.22/day - one of the most affordable options.
The Bottom Line
Budget-friendly and tasty, but ingredient quality lags behind premium options. A step up from Flintstones but not our recommendation for families who can afford better.
