Multi vitamins for kids

I was just wondering what the best rated multi vitamin/cold deterant vitamins everyone loves?

My daughters have a varied diet and I ensure they get away veges and fruit in a day but cause they're at daycare, the still get sick all the time.

Had the same issue. I asked my (very honest) GP this a couple of years ago. He told me until the kids get to about half way through their first year of school they'll get sick a lot, then much less. He was right.

Don't waste your money on multi vitas. It's been proven multiple times they're a sham. There's no pill that's going to protect your kids while they're swimming in the daycare petrie dish. I was disgusted how sick some kids were who were still being dropped off. Blergh. Still makes my stomach heave!

Multivitamins don't prevent illness, they can supplement a diet lacking in vitamins. There's not much you can do except keep them home when they get sick and let them get plenty of rest. Most kids develop a stronger immune system as they get more exposure.
