Can a 14 yr. old take gummy vitamins?

Question

i hate swallowing pills and want gummys are there any aproved for my age?

i am 5' 81/2" btw!

Answer 1

I don't see why not, except that you probably need different vitimins than a growing child does, like probably more iron and calcium.  

Answer 2

You would need to take 3 or 4 because of your size. Typically gummies have far less vitamins than chewables. Look at the back of several different containers and compare the number of vitamins and minerals side by side as well as the "%Daily Value" to see which ones are better. Usually the ones labeled "complete" are the best.

Answer 3

read the label on the gummy vitamins and it will tell you. each brand is different. go for the one with the most vitimans and minerals, you need minerals too....and it's never to early to start taking calcium a very critical thing for females when they get older. the sooner you take it the better off you will be later. trust me, it's too late for me now. well you may learn to tolerate pill taking as you get older. take your time and look around. you may even ask your mom and dad about it too.

Answer 4

uhh yea

Answer 5

Yes, of course!

I don't see why anything bad would happen.

It's just vitamins!

If you don't like taking vitamins, eat more food with vitamins in it!

Just eat foods rich in vitamins, lots of fruits and vegetables.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

well since they are vitimans they cant be bad for you

you wont get the nourishment's as the same as a child would since you are 5, 8

just remember not to take more than your suppose to, i think its 2 a day

Answer 15

no i dont think there are any but i used to not be able to swallow pills but then i practiced by swallowing tic tacs until i got better=]

Answer 16

i don't think there are gummys for teenagers.

you have to take several pieces of the gummy vitamins to meet the recommended dosage for your build.

Answer 17

I still do!

They're the best!

Answer 18

Yes, you absolutely can. I'm 14 as well and have the absolute inability to swallow pills. You can take them, but, because they are weaker since they are intended for younger ages, you may want to take two instead of one a day like it will probably say on the bottle.  

Answer 19

Just get the L'il Critters brand or the GummiVites. I'm 12 but I'll probably eat them for the rest of my life! They re gud. Pills r annoying, i kno. I'm 5'3 and 90 pounds, and they're fine. They-re hella gud tho, I dont kno y not. GummiVites or L'il Critters , remember. Oh, and some vitamins are bad to get too much of- like Niacin, which is in them. So don't take very much more then the suggested dose, even though they're for kids.

Answer 20

HECK YES!!!! My mom takes gummy calcium. I take gummy's and i am 11.  but a tall. i am 5'2 so. heck yes
