Q. Can I give Gummy Vites to my child who is under two years old?
A. That's a good question we get all the time. We do recommend that a child be 2 years old due to choking hazards. Our Immune C Gummy Bears are recommended for ages 4 & older. As with any food that is chewy, always instruct your child to chew completely before swallowing.
Q. My child just ate a handful of Gummy Vites. Do I need to take her to the doctor?
A. No. Gummy Vites are specially formulated with kids in mind. The excess vitamins will be naturally eliminated from their bodies. There is no iron in any of the L'il Critters products, except L'il Critters Pedia Essentials with Iron.
Q. My child is allergic to wheat. Can he take Gummy Vites?
A. Yes. Gummy Vites have no wheat, gluten, milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts or soy. They also have no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives.
Q. How many Gummy Vites do I give my children if one weighs 45 pounds and the other weighs 70 pounds?
A. Follow standard dosing, 2 gummy bears per day for both children.
Q. I love Gummy Vites myself. Do you have anything for adults?
A. Yes, our Vitafusion® products are the first gummy vitamins for adults! You can find them in the vitamin aisle at your local Costco, Target, Walgreens and other fine retailers. Visit nwnaturalproducts.com/vitafusion for more information.
Q. How much calcium is in the L'il Critters Calcium Bears?
A. A serving of Calcium Bears delivers 200mg of calcium, as much as a 5 oz glass of milk.
Q. Your Gummy Vites have vitamin C in the formula. Is it safe to consume the Gummy Vites along with the Immune C Bears, and Fruit and Veggie Bears, which also contain vitamin C?
A. Yes, these products were designed to be used together. If you combine the three products and give the recommended dosage, your child will be within the normal tolerable range of vitamin C intake.

Q. How should I store my Omega Fish™?
A. It is best to store L’il Critters® Omega-3 Gummy Fish™ products away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat. Products should be stored in a cool, dry place at room temperatures between 40° and 75° Fahrenheit, or 5° and 25° Celsius. Refrigeration will also help your omega products to taste as good as they did the day that you brought them home!
Q. Where is a good place to store my gummy vitamins?
A. Gelatin based products are likely to melt in the heat. The gelatin based gummy product in your bottle will become overly sticky and melt if subjected to temperatures over 75° F for 4 hours or longer. The gummies can melt so much that it just becomes one large mass.
It is best not to store your vitamins:
- In your car for any extended period of time, as your car can reach temperatures over 120° F
- On top of your refrigerator
- In cabinets above a stove or sink, where heat and steam could create moisture.
- In your windowsill as it can raise the surface temperature of a bottle to 150° F
- Near a furnace or a heater
- Near hot water heaters, air radiators, hot water pipes or steam pipes
Try to store vitamins in a cool, dry place away from windows and storage rooms affected by outdoor weather.
Q. Do you test for Mercury in the L’il Critters® Omega-3 Gummy Fish™?
A. Yes. L’il Critters® Omega-3 Gummy Fish™ contains high quality, purified and concentrated fish oil that is stringently tested for heavy metals (such as mercury and lead). |
