First Day vitamins - is it a scam?

Just do hiya. Good company started by parents. 100% way to go.

A generic good multivitamin is all you need. Costco has them in bulk

Is it the same poster repetitively recommending hiya with the same wording?

Yes, Scam.

Their website looks suspicious though - one of the subheadings was "The Ultimate Solution To Your Needs As A Woman" and another was "Get A peace of Mind" which screams, well, scam. Are all these 5* reviews paid? Has anyone actually tried these? They're like $50/month vitamins!

What are the ingredients and doses? You could probably "reconstruct" it from high quality generic brands (NOW foods, nutricost) for much cheaper.

Though not any multivitamin will do. Our pediatrician told us to make sure we got one with iron because our kid is a super picky eater and that's one of the primary concerns for a kid who avoids meat and vegetables.

We were also told by the dentist to avoid gummy vitamins.

We use Flintstones chewables. Judge away.

Did they tell you why you should avoid gummies?

Just find the cheapest kids chewable multi at CVS and call it a day.

Vitamins are all essentially the same

This is not true - bioavailability and doses matter

My ped told me to give the kids cereal like cheerios because it’s vitamin fortified.

I was torn between hiya and FD and went with hiya…seems really strong so far and would say worth getting hiya…

I am not paid review but heck I would sure take it if they offered lol BUT I just recently started giving my girls these vitamins about 4wks ago, they're8and 5 yrs old. I had run into the advertisement on IG. The one that talks about the behavior issues, and I kid you not, today, and the therapy appointments, I literally got told, by both therapist, that they saw such positive behavioral improvements in them that they are going to go ahead and release them next appointment. Yes, we have been working on different skills and methods, but still, their attention is better overall and just their overall behavior is just better. The therapist's words today were, "the atmosphere here in the room is literally night and day, their behavior is soo different, what have you done different?" So, I can attest that there is something to the behavioral claim. It may not be for EVERY child because every child is different, but I can honestly say it has been a game changer for ME as a single mom who was grasping at straws and was desperate to try anything to get their behavior under control and for 2 therapists to notice it in one day, I think speaks for itself. Have a blessed day and I hope this helps someone.

most vitamins are a scam and $50/month is certainly a scam.
