Toddler vitamins - how many do you give?

@Lauren how do you know it’s only 50% RDA per gummy? I’ve searched NHS and it just says what vitamins they need I don’t see the amounts they need? If I can get better gummies I will
I recommend the sambucol liquid as well, we've made it with no sick days this far. We also use the brand Neolife (pricey) but it's wholefood supplements without all the synthetic agents found in alot of brands. We use the vitamin c (all c) and omega 3 (anti inflammatory). I've used these before and gave my almost 3 year old but just follow whatevers on the directions.
I would usually give 1
I just give one and tell my LO that it’s only 1 a day as he really likes them and would scoff the lot given the chance so sticking to a hard and fast 1 a day rule.
Does it not tell you on the back of the packaging?
@Jessicaa it says give 1 to 2 daily - so there’s a bit of room for interpretation (I view it as: 3-6y x1, 7-12y x2)
I just looked them up and it looks like one softie only gives 50% of the RDA. I don’t use these as I got some Wellkid ones (the HV recommended getting a multivitamin that contains iron because our daughter is veggie), but they seem to have a higher RDA so it’s only one per day. I’ve been giving her Sambucol to help boost her immune system and she seems to have had fewer colds this winter!
