Smartypants is such a cool name and the little characters on the bottle are super cute. They were the first thing that caught my daughters' eyes.
A thumb's up from Alexa
They call it
Smartypants because it contains all the special nutrients your child needs for healthy brain development. As parents we all know how hard it can be to provide our children with a well-balanced diet, whether we are always on the run, have choosy eaters, ect. Smartypants is an all in one multi-vitamin with eco-friendly non-tuna Omega-3 fish oil with DHA and meets 100% of the US RDI of Vitamin D with 13 other key nutrients, including choline.
What is Omega-3 and why do my children need this?
Studies show that Omega-3 acids (also called essential fatty acids) are vital to brain health and development and may positively affect learning and behavior. Fats, like Omega-3 DHA, comprise about 60% of the brain and the nerves in the human body. The better the fat in ones diet, the healthier and better performing a young brain can be.
Smartypants are also gluten-free and contain no high fructose corn syrup or artificial sweetneners, only organic cane sugar. (only 5g of sugar per serving - that's 80% less sugar than in a glass of unsweetened apple juice.)
Now, as much as I'd like to say I'm a Flinstone kid - BLECH!! I could not stand the nasty gritty aftertaste of those things. Needless to say I was a little apprehensive about trying any sort of new vitamin, for that reason alone. But, I was VERY pleased that after trying the Smartypants vitamins, they are not only delicious, they don't have a gross aftertaste of a vitamin.
They come on 3 different flavors, lemon, cherry and orange. (and YES, they're great for you Mom's and Dad's, t00)
Lillian loves Lemon!!
Alexa loves Orange!!
Not only do my children love the taste, I love what it's doing for their little bodies.
I want what's best for my kids' health and development and I wouldn't be passing this information along if I didn't believe in it whole heartedly. My only problem with it is my kids think they're candy and want to eat more than their recommended 4 a day. haha
The other thing I love about
Smartypants is their partnership with Vitamin Angel!
Every time you buy Smartypants, they make a matching 1-for-1 nutrient grant to a child most in need. How amazing is that? Not only are you heping your children by purchasing this incredible vitamin, you're helping a child less fortunate. So, be a Smartypants Angel!
