Gummy vitamins under the microscope: can they boost Kids' health?
NCT ID NCT07385144
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study is testing whether a daily gummy supplement with vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s can improve blood nutrient levels in healthy children aged 4 to 15. About 30 kids will take the supplement for 4 weeks, with blood tests at the start and end. The goal is to gather early data on how the supplement affects markers like vitamin D, B12, and omega-3s.
