Unfortunately, both Flinstones and Centrum add food coloring. Disney does not. I also like that Disney adds DHA from fish oil into their vitamins. Centrum, I believe, does not include any supplements directly associated with healthy brain function either. Why can't a company just make a good, all around, vitamin. For my son, it has to be a gummie with no sugary coating. I have a big problem finding a good vitamin without food coloring added. Unfortunately, both Flinstones and Centrum add food coloring.

I choose this brand because I am a vegan and it has no animal ingredients or food coloring. I think vitamins is a good idea because the mineral content from our foods is not the same as what it was when our grandparents were children. I did a study on this and if I can find it I will send it to you. An orange from 50 years ago does not provide the same amount of vitamin C as an orange grown in the US today. I actually experienced this first hand when I was in Israel. The fruit was soooooooo sweet and after a month I started to break out and when I inquired as to why I was breaking out, I was told that the soil that the fruits and vegetables are grown in has a much higher mineral content than what I am used to in the US and it causes your body to release toxins, hence the breakout.
