Cleopatra Beauty Care Children's Multi-Vitamin & Mineral Formula

Our assessment

The evidence for this product is incomplete. The data provided lists "Calcium" as an ingredient, but no other vitamins or minerals are specified. Our assessment: you should verify the full label before use. Calcium is well-documented for bone health, but without a complete ingredient list, we cannot evaluate the full formula [NIH ODS].

How it works

Calcium supports bone mineralization by helping deposit minerals into your skeleton, and it plays a role in neuromuscular relaxation by aiding muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For a children's formula, this mineral is foundational for growing bones and teeth. However, data on the other ingredients in this specific product is not available.

Safety profile

FDA received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplement categories, but specific reports for this product are not available. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High blood levels can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of medications such as bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].

Our recommendation

We recommend you check the product's full label to confirm all ingredients and their dosages. Without this information, we cannot give a final recommendation. If you proceed, ensure your child does not exceed the RDA for calcium from all sources, and consult a pediatrician before starting any new supplement, especially if your child takes medication [NIH ODS].

Supplement labels contain several key sections regulated by the FDA:

• Serving Size — The recommended amount per dose. Always check this — some products require multiple capsules per serving.
• Amount Per Serving — Shows the quantity of each nutrient in the product, typically in IU (International Units), mg (milligrams), or mcg (micrograms).
• % Daily Value (%DV) — Indicates how much a nutrient in a serving contributes to a daily diet. 5% DV or less is low; 20% DV or more is high.
• Other Ingredients — Lists inactive ingredients like fillers, binders, and capsule materials (e.g., gelatin, cellulose, magnesium stearate).
• Suggested Use — The manufacturer's recommended directions for taking the supplement, including timing and dosage.
