FAQs

1. What are Pharmaton Kiddi Chews?

Pharmaton Kiddi Chews are chewable food supplements formulated for children aged 6 years and over. They contain selected vitamins and minerals alongside L-lysine and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus LGG. The formula includes calcium, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin A, zinc, iron and folic acid. They are intended to supplement a varied and balanced diet rather than replace nutritious foods.

2. What age can children take Pharmaton Kiddi Chews?

The current Irish Pharmaton guidance states that Kiddi Chews are suitable for children aged 6 years and over. Parents should always check the age recommendation printed on the current packaging before giving any supplement to a child. Pharmaton also produces a Kiddi Liquid product with different age guidance, so the directions for the liquid and chewable formulations should not be confused.

3. How many Pharmaton Kiddi Chews should my child take each day?

The recommended daily dose for children aged 6 years and over is one chewable tablet per day. Pharmaton recommends taking it preferably in the morning with breakfast. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If your child is already taking another vitamin or mineral supplement, check with a pharmacist before combining products to avoid unnecessarily duplicating nutrients.

4. How long does a pack of Pharmaton Kiddi Chews 30s last?

Each pack contains 30 chewable tablets. When taken at the recommended dose of one tablet each day, a pack provides approximately 30 days of supplementation. Taking the supplement at a similar time each morning, such as with breakfast, can make it easier to incorporate into a child's normal daily routine.

5. Does Pharmaton Kiddi contain vitamin D?

Yes. Each chewable tablet contains 3µg of vitamin D. Vitamin D is needed for normal growth and development of bone in children and contributes to the normal function of the immune system in children. Vitamin D should be considered as part of the child's overall dietary and supplemental intake, particularly if other vitamin D-containing products are also being used.

6. Does Pharmaton Kiddi contain calcium?

Yes. Each chewable tablet provides 150mg of calcium. Calcium is needed for normal growth and development of bone in children. Calcium should primarily come from a varied and balanced diet, with supplements used to complement rather than replace nutritious foods. Parents with concerns about their child's calcium intake should discuss these with a pharmacist, GP or dietitian.

7. Does Pharmaton Kiddi contain iron?

Yes. Each chew provides 2.5mg of iron. Iron contributes to normal cognitive development of children. Because iron can also be present in children's multivitamins and other supplements, parents should check the labels of any additional products their child is taking to avoid unnecessary duplication.

8. Does Pharmaton Kiddi contain L-lysine?

Yes. Each Pharmaton Kiddi Chew provides 40mg of L-lysine. L-lysine is an amino acid and forms part of the overall formulation alongside vitamins and minerals. The presence of L-lysine should be described as a factual ingredient feature rather than as a reason to expect a specific health benefit beyond authorised nutritional claims.

9. What is Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus LGG in Pharmaton Kiddi?

Each chew contains 1 billion CFU of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus LGG. It forms part of the product's multi-ingredient formulation alongside L-lysine, vitamins and minerals. Parents should follow the manufacturer's recommended serving and should not exceed the daily dose in an attempt to increase the amount consumed.

10. Are Pharmaton Kiddi Chews gluten free?

Yes, the current product information identifies Pharmaton Kiddi Chews as gluten free. However, ingredient formulations and manufacturing information can change. If your child needs to strictly avoid gluten or another ingredient for medical reasons, always check the latest packaging before use and ask your pharmacist if you are uncertain.

11. Can Pharmaton Kiddi Chews be taken with another children's multivitamin?

It is generally sensible to check with your pharmacist before combining children's multivitamin products. Pharmaton Kiddi already contains several vitamins and minerals, including vitamins A, C and D, zinc, iron, calcium and folic acid. Combining it with another supplement could unnecessarily duplicate some nutrients. Bring the packaging or ingredient information for both products to your pharmacist if you need individual advice.

12. Do Pharmaton Kiddi Chews replace a healthy diet?

No. Pharmaton Kiddi Chews are food supplements and are not intended to replace a varied and balanced diet or healthy lifestyle. Children should continue to receive a varied diet appropriate for their age. Supplements can provide specific nutrients alongside that diet, but they should always be given according to the manufacturer's recommended dose.
