Trust & Pharmacist Advice
A varied, balanced diet remains the preferred source of vitamins and minerals for growing children. A multivitamin should complement rather than replace nutritious meals, fruit, vegetables, protein sources and appropriate dairy or alternatives.
Sona MultiPlus Junior contains several nutrients with specifically authorised claims relating to children's growth and development. Calcium and vitamin D are needed for normal growth and development of bone in children, while iron contributes to normal cognitive development and iodine contributes to normal growth.
Parents should check other supplements their child is taking to avoid unnecessarily duplicating vitamins and minerals, particularly vitamin A, vitamin D, iron and iodine.
If your child has a diagnosed nutritional deficiency, restricted diet, significant food allergies, persistent poor appetite or an underlying medical condition, speak with your GP, dietitian or pharmacist about their individual nutritional requirements.
Because these are chewable tablets, younger children should be supervised when taking them.
Not Suitable For
Seek professional advice before use if:
- The child is under 3 years old
- The child has an allergy or sensitivity to any ingredient
- The child is already taking another multivitamin or mineral supplement
- The child has an underlying medical condition
- The child has been prescribed vitamin or mineral supplementation
- You are concerned about the child's growth, diet or nutritional intake
How to Use
Children aged 3–9 years: Take one to two tablets daily with the main meal, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Children aged 9 years and over: Take two tablets daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Current manufacturer directions state that Sona MultiPlus Junior Chewable can be taken from 3 years of age. Children aged 3–9 years take one to two tablets daily, while children aged 9 years and over take two tablets daily. Always follow the directions on the current pack.
3. Does Sona MultiPlus Junior support children's bone development?
Yes. Calcium and vitamin D are needed for normal growth and development of bone in children. Sona MultiPlus Junior provides both nutrients as part of its comprehensive multivitamin and mineral formulation. This is an authorised EU health claim specifically applicable to children's development.
4. Does Sona MultiPlus Junior support cognitive development?
The formula contains iron, which contributes to normal cognitive development of children. It also contains iodine, which contributes to the normal growth of children. These are authorised health claims and provide a compliant basis for describing the nutritional role of these ingredients.
5. Does Sona MultiPlus Junior support the immune system?
Yes. The formulation contains nutrients including vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, folate, iron and zinc that contribute to the normal function of the immune system. The supplement should complement a varied diet, adequate sleep, physical activity and other healthy lifestyle habits.
6. Is Sona MultiPlus Junior sugar-free?
Yes. Sona MultiPlus Junior Chewable is sugar-free. The formulation uses sweeteners including xylitol and sucralose and has a natural strawberry flavour. Because the product contains polyols, excessive consumption may produce a laxative effect.
7. What vitamins and minerals are in Sona MultiPlus Junior?
The formulation provides 17 nutrients, including vitamins A, C, D and E, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin B12, biotin, pantothenic acid, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and iodine. This makes it a comprehensive children's multivitamin and mineral rather than a single-nutrient supplement.
8. Is Sona MultiPlus Junior suitable for vegetarians?
Yes. Sona states that MultiPlus Junior Chewable is suitable for vegetarians. It is also free from dairy, egg, gluten, lactose and soy and contains no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Parents should still check the current packaging where a child has a specific allergy or intolerance.
9. Can a picky eater take Sona MultiPlus Junior?
A multivitamin can be a convenient way to complement dietary intake when a child's diet is limited or selective. However, it should not be used as a substitute for encouraging a varied diet. Persistent restrictive eating, poor appetite, weight loss or concerns about growth should be discussed with an appropriate healthcare professional.
10. Can my child take Sona MultiPlus Junior with another multivitamin?
It is generally unnecessary to give two comprehensive multivitamins at the same time. Sona MultiPlus Junior already contains 17 vitamins and minerals, so combining it with another product could duplicate nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin D, iron, zinc and iodine. Ask your pharmacist if you are unsure about combining children's supplements.
11. How should Sona MultiPlus Junior be taken?
The tablets are designed to be chewed and should be taken with the main meal. Children aged 3–9 years take one to two tablets daily, while children aged 9+ take two tablets daily, unless otherwise directed by a healthcare professional. Do not exceed the recommended dosage.
