The Vitamin Shoppe Kid's Panda Vites
Brand: The Vitamin Shoppe · Form: GUMMY [E0176]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that The Vitamin Shoppe Kid's Panda Vites contains calcium, a mineral essential for bone health. Our assessment is that this supplement can help fill nutritional gaps for children who may not get enough calcium from diet alone. However, the specific dosage of calcium in this product is not provided, so you should check the label to determine if it meets your child's needs [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as the building block for strong bones and teeth. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also plays a role in muscle relaxation and nerve signaling. For children, adequate calcium intake is critical during growth spurts to build peak bone mass [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific reports for this product are not available. Calcium is generally safe, but high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Extremely high levels can cause poor muscle tone, constipation, nausea, weight loss, and abnormal heart rhythms [NIH ODS] [FDA data].
Our recommendation
Data not available for specific dosage recommendations for this product. We recommend checking the label for the exact amount of calcium per serving and comparing it to your child's daily needs. For best absorption, give the supplement with food and ensure adequate vitamin D intake. Always consult your pediatrician before starting any new supplement [NIH ODS].
