Description
Americans spend almost a billion dollars each year on children’s dietary supplements: a category which, today, includes not just daily multivitamins but an increasingly exotic array of gummies aimed at promoting immunity, digestion, mood, and sleep. Liz and Jane unspool the history of our national obsession with vitamins with the science journalist and Vitamania author Catherine Price – then talk to pediatrician and educator Dr. Krupa Playforth, aka The Pediatrician Mom, to get to the bottom of which gummies your kids might actually need, and which they don’t.
