My boys (almost 5 and 2 1/2) take Blue Ice Cod Liver Oil - we get the mint flavor and they eagerly take it. They also get a Source Natural's Mega-Kid multi almost each day (it averages about 5 times a week). In the morning I tend to spike their juice with half a capsule of probiotic powder, and sometimes also spike it with some sodium ascorbate (vit C).
Nutritional Supplements & Vitamins

My kids are taking a liquid whole foods vitamin right now but it's almost gone and I have since bought some kids vitamins from Nature's Sunshine that are chewable, one a multivitamin and one an antioxidant. They really liked the liquid but I just wanted to see how well the other vitamins would do for them as they're easier to transport. They do also take mangosteen and noni and I slip flax seed oil into their homemade juices or smoothies daily. I also make a honey butter spread mixed in w/flax oil. After my troubles w/taking clo, I chose to wait to give it to them until they are older. Right now that's all they take because I don't want to over kill them w/vitamins as my ds is only almost 2 and my dd is 4. I will gradually add more but I don't really think they're all to necessary as my kids are great at eating veggies and fruits but I like to feel better that they're getting all that they can which is why I do still give them the vitamins.

And do you take both too? Would they be appropriate pregnant/nursing?

I only have a link to the Aussie
Seaminerals http://seamineral.com/index.asp. I get the Matrix Microbes through my ped, maybe a google search might bring them up. I take both and neither bottles have a CYA statement re pregnant and nursing mothers, so I assume both would be fine. I will see if I can come up with a link for the Microbes, they come in a plain 4 oz bottle with what looks like a computer printed label, so my guess is they are from a very small company.
