I decided the other day that the kids might benefit from a multi-vitamin. (Please, don't get me going on the subject of vitamins derived from food vs. those from supplements.) Harking back to my childhood, I caved when I saw that Flintstone vitamins are still on the market. I bought two bottles and headed home to begin supplementation. They are a hit. The kids stand at the cupboard each morning telling me that they are in desperate need of vitamin therapy. In Jacob's words, "I really feel like I need a vitamin." Anyway.
The funny thing is that our children have no idea who the Flintstones are so they have made up different names for each of the characters. So far the names have been along biological classification lines. You know: dog, girl etc. But today's name took the prize.
Jacob (upon pulling Fred from the bottle): "Hannah, I got a hermit! Yes!!" Fred Flintstone meets sanctification.

I would still take Flintstones!
We do a multi. G is great with eating his fruits/veggies/etc... I just like that he's backed up. So, between that, his Omega 3's and once a week an echinacea/astragalus drop, we're hoping to have him covered!
In GA I was surrounded by families who did some kind of gummy vitamins that gave them all the fruits and vegetables that they needed. Cost an arm and a leg but they couldn't be bothered to feed them actual fruits and vegetables!
Helen, what astragalus/echinacea brand do you use? We use St. Francis Herb Farm (located 15 mins. away). It's excellent and is (I think) the world's or North America's biggest producer of medicine-grade echinacea. Support local, eh?
