Iron is the #1 nutrient deficiency in kids.¹ But iron isn’t found in most kids' multivitamins, because it can be unstable and taste terrible in gummy form.²

How Do I Make Sure My Kids Get Enough Iron?

My daughter (age 4) is such a picky eater, and my son (age 12) has food allergies. Combined with the high iron needs at those ages, iron supplements were a no-brainer for me.

‍

‍

I was excited to try Hiya Kids Daily Iron+ because:

🦷 It’s a chewable tablet—not a gummy. That means it’s better for absorption and teeth; plus it has zero sugar.³

💪 It uses high-quality Carbonyl Iron, which is more bioavailable, safer, and easier on kids’ tummies than other forms of iron.⁴

🍊 It contains Vitamin C, which boosts iron absorption.⁵ (Daily Iron+ is safe to pair with a multivitamin. For maximum nutrient absorption, kids should take their multi and Iron+ at least a couple hours apart.)

🚫 It has zero sugar, gluten, dairy, or artificial dyes or flavorings - instead, Hiya uses monk fruit extract for sweetness and flavor.

😋 My kids actually like the tropical fruit taste.

📦 Hiya shows up at our door every month in minimal and recyclable packaging, plus a reusable glass bottle.

Why Do Kids Need Iron?

Our bodies use iron to make hemoglobin—a protein that carries oxygen from the lungs to muscles—which kids need to grow big and strong. Iron is also vital for certain hormones, especially during puberty.

‍

‍

Iron deficiency can lead to impaired growth, tachycardia, fatigue, irritability, and learning problems.⁶

What Kids Should Take Iron Supplements?

It’s tough for some kids to get enough iron in their diets. That’s why Hiya Kids Daily Iron+ is a good choice for:

⏫ Growing Kids: Iron helps build muscle and promote growth throughout childhood, and especially during puberty.

🍟 Picky Eaters: Even when my kids reach for the mac & cheese over the (high-iron) chickpeas, I can ensure they’re getting the iron they need.

🌱 Restrictive Diets: Popular iron sources are meat, seafood, and nuts, which makes getting enough iron tough for vegetarians, vegans, and kids with allergies.
