Brand FAQ

Every DocVites formula has a specific age range, format, and serving direction. Start with the age shown on the product page and finished product label. If your child is near an age boundary, cannot safely use the product’s format, has a medical condition, or has individual nutritional needs, ask your pediatrician before use.

No. Supplements do not replace a varied, balanced diet, and many healthy children do not need a daily multivitamin. A child’s needs may differ because of age, diet, a diagnosed deficiency, restricted eating, or a medical condition. Your pediatrician can help determine whether supplementation is appropriate.

It means pediatric clinical perspective is incorporated into decisions about intended age range, nutrient selection, product format, serving guidance, and label clarity. DocVites formulas are developed under the leadership of Fred Tega, MD, FAAP, a board-certified pediatrician and the company’s founder. “Pediatrician-formulated” does not replace individualized medical advice or mean that every child needs the product.

Each ingredient must have a defined nutritional purpose. DocVites considers authoritative nutrient guidance, relevant evidence, age appropriateness, formula context, safety, and practical daily use. The Supplement Facts panel provides the amounts included in each specific formula.

Do not combine supplements without first comparing their Supplement Facts panels. Two products may contain the same vitamins or minerals, and unnecessary overlap may provide more than intended. Include fortified foods and supplements from other brands when reviewing your child’s total intake. Ask your pediatrician or pharmacist if you are unsure.

Use only the serving amount and directions printed on the specific product label. More is not necessarily better. Do not give an adult serving to a child, estimate a serving, or exceed the labeled amount unless your child’s healthcare professional specifically directs you to do so.

Resume the normal labeled schedule with the next serving. Do not double the amount to make up for a missed serving. Contact your pediatrician or pharmacist if you have questions about your child’s routine.

Some supplement ingredients can interact with medications, other supplements, or medical conditions. Before use, tell your child’s pediatrician or pharmacist about every vitamin, mineral, probiotic, medicine, and fortified nutritional product your child receives.

Review the Supplement Facts panel, Other Ingredients list, and allergen statement on the individual product page and package. Ingredients and allergen information may differ among DocVites formulas. If your child has a known allergy or sensitivity, discuss the complete ingredient list with an appropriate healthcare professional before use.

When this statement appears, it refers only to ingredients identified as organic in that specific formula. Review the individual product’s ingredient information for details. The statement should not be interpreted to mean that every ingredient—or the finished product—is certified organic unless that certification is expressly shown for the product.

Dietary supplements are not approved by the FDA for safety or effectiveness before they are sold. Manufacturers are responsible for ensuring that their products comply with applicable safety, manufacturing, and labeling requirements. DocVites products are dietary supplements and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.

DocVites provides testing and quality information on a product-specific basis. Any testing claim should identify what was tested, at what production stage, and by whom. Please consult the applicable product page or contact DocVites for the most current documentation.

Follow the storage directions on the individual product label, since requirements may differ by formula. Keep the container securely closed and store all supplements out of the sight and reach of children. Do not use a product if its safety seal is missing or damaged.

Do not wait for symptoms. In the United States, call Poison Help immediately at 1-800-222-1222 for guidance. Call 911 if your child has trouble breathing, cannot be awakened, has a seizure, or shows another life-threatening symptom. Keep the product container with you when requesting help.

DocVites is a pediatrician-founded children’s nutrition brand developing age- and stage-conscious dietary supplements with an emphasis on purposeful formulation, clear product information, and practical guidance for families. DocVites supplements complement—not replace—a varied diet and individualized pediatric care.

DocVites was founded by Fred Tega, MD, FAAP, a board-certified pediatrician. His pediatric experience informs the brand’s focus on age-appropriate formulation, family-friendly formats, and clear nutritional information.

DocVites Infant Vitamin D Drops are designed for infants from birth through 12 months. Ask your pediatrician before starting any supplement, especially for a premature infant or a baby with an existing medical condition.

Each 1 mL serving provides 10 mcg (400 IU) of vitamin D3. Vitamin D supports calcium absorption and normal bone development during infancy.

The active ingredient is vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Organic sunflower oil is the carrier oil. Review the product page and package if your baby has a known allergy or sensitivity.

Give 1 mL daily using the measuring device supplied with the product, or follow your child’s healthcare professional’s directions. Measure the labeled amount carefully rather than estimating it.

The 30 mL bottle contains 30 labeled servings, so it provides a 30-day supply when used once daily as directed.

This is a focused vitamin D formula. Infant Multivitamin Drops provide vitamin D plus a broader group of vitamins and zinc. Compare both Supplement Facts panels and use the formula that matches your pediatrician’s guidance.

Vitamin D intake can come from fortified formula, foods, and other supplements. Before combining products, compare all sources of vitamin D and ask your pediatrician whether the total daily amount is appropriate for your baby. Do not combine overlapping supplements without guidance.

If a serving is missed, resume the normal schedule with the next serving; do not double the amount. Follow the storage instructions on the package, keep the cap securely closed, and keep the bottle out of the sight and reach of children.

DocVites Infant Multivitamin Drops are designed for infants from birth through 12 months. Ask your pediatrician before beginning a supplement, particularly if your baby was born prematurely or has individual nutritional needs.

The formula includes vitamins A, C, D3, E and several B vitamins, plus zinc. Together, these nutrients help support normal immune function, bone development, antioxidant protection, and the body’s normal energy metabolism.

Give 1 mL daily using the measuring device supplied with the product, or as recommended by your child’s healthcare professional. Measure the full labeled serving carefully.

Iron is not listed in this product’s Supplement Facts panel. An infant’s iron needs depend on age, feeding pattern, diet, and individual circumstances, so discuss iron supplementation with your pediatrician rather than adding a separate product automatically.

The 30 mL bottle provides 30 servings at the labeled 1 mL daily serving—a 30-day supply.

Infant Multivitamin Drops provide a broader combination of vitamins and zinc, including 400 IU of vitamin D3. Infant Vitamin D Drops are a focused vitamin D formula. Use one that fits your child’s needs and your pediatrician’s guidance.

Before combining products, compare the nutrients and amounts in formula, fortified foods, and every supplement your baby receives. Because ingredients can overlap, ask your pediatrician or pharmacist to review the total daily intake.

Resume the normal schedule with the next serving and do not double the amount. Follow package storage directions, keep the container securely closed, do not use it if the safety seal is missing or damaged, and keep all supplements out of children’s reach.

DocVites Children’s Multivitamin with Prebiotics is designed for children ages 1 year and older, including teens. Children under age 1 should use only products intended for infants and follow pediatric guidance.

The labeled daily serving is 5 mL for ages 1–3 and 10 mL for ages 4–18+. The age-based amounts provide the nutrient quantities shown for each group on the Supplement Facts panel. Use the supplied measuring device and do not estimate the serving.

The vitamin and mineral blend helps support normal immune function, bone health, antioxidant protection, and energy metabolism. The formula includes vitamins A, C, D3, E and K1, B vitamins, iodine, zinc and copper, with amounts listed by age on the product page.

Organic inulin from chicory root is a prebiotic dietary fiber. Prebiotics provide nourishment for beneficial bacteria already present in the digestive tract and help support a healthy digestive environment. This ingredient is not a probiotic and does not contain live organisms.

At 5 mL daily, the bottle provides 60 servings for ages 1–3. At 10 mL daily, it provides 30 servings for ages 4–18+.

Measure the age-appropriate amount with the supplied device and follow the package directions. If your child has difficulty taking the product or you want to add it to food or a drink, first confirm the permitted method on the label or with DocVites so the full serving is consumed.

This liquid is intended for ages 1+ and includes organic inulin prebiotic fiber. The Multivitamin Chewable Tablets are for ages 4+ who can safely chew tablets. Choose the age-appropriate format that best fits your child’s routine rather than using both together.

Compare all Supplement Facts panels before combining products because vitamins and minerals may overlap. Ask your pediatrician or pharmacist before use if your child takes medication, has a medical condition, has an allergy or sensitivity, or receives another multivitamin. Follow package storage directions and keep out of children’s reach.

DocVites Multivitamin Chewable Tablets are designed for children and teens ages 4–18+ who can safely and completely chew a tablet. For a child who cannot reliably chew tablets, choose an age-appropriate liquid format.

The labeled serving is two chewable tablets daily, preferably with food, or as directed by your child’s healthcare professional. The tablets should be chewed completely before swallowing.

The formula provides vitamins and minerals that help support normal immune function, bone health, antioxidant protection, and energy metabolism. The Supplement Facts panel lists vitamins A, C, D3, E and K1, B vitamins, iodine, zinc and copper.

The formula includes vitamin D3 from lichen, vitamin K1, folate as calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, and vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin. The product page lists every nutrient form and amount in the Supplement Facts panel.

Iron is not listed in this product’s Supplement Facts panel. Iron needs vary by age, diet, and individual circumstances. Ask your child’s pediatrician whether a separate iron product is appropriate rather than adding one automatically.

Each bottle contains 60 chewable tablets. At the labeled serving of two tablets daily, one bottle provides 30 servings—a 30-day supply.

The chewable is a tablet format for ages 4+ and does not list prebiotic fiber in its Supplement Facts panel. The liquid is suitable for ages 1+ and includes organic inulin. Choose one age-appropriate multivitamin format rather than taking both together.

Supervise use and make sure the tablets are chewed completely. If a serving is missed, resume the normal schedule without doubling. Follow package storage directions, keep the bottle securely closed and out of children’s reach, and ask a pediatrician or pharmacist before combining it with medications or other supplements.

DocVites Prebiotic + Probiotic Chewable Tablets are designed for children and teens ages 4–18+ who can safely and completely chew a tablet.

The labeled serving is two chewable tablets daily, preferably with food, or as directed by your child’s healthcare professional. The tablets should be chewed completely before swallowing.

Each serving provides a 30 mg blend with 10 billion CFU from Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, Lactobacillus paracasei and Bifidobacterium lactis, plus organic inulin. The product page lists the complete Supplement Facts and Other Ingredients.

The probiotic organisms help support a balanced community of beneficial bacteria and normal digestive function. Organic inulin complements the blend by providing a prebiotic food source for beneficial gut bacteria. This is nutritional support, not a treatment for a medical condition.

Probiotics are live microorganisms. Prebiotics are fibers or compounds used as food by beneficial bacteria. This formula contains both: three probiotic organisms and organic inulin as the prebiotic component.

The Supplement Facts panel lists 0 grams of total sugars and 0 grams of added sugars per serving. Review the Other Ingredients list on the product page for flavors, sweetening ingredients, colors, and processing ingredients.

Each bottle contains 60 chewable tablets. At the labeled serving of two tablets daily, it provides 30 servings—a 30-day supply.

Review all labels to avoid unnecessary overlap and ask your pediatrician or pharmacist before combining products, particularly if your child takes medication, has a medical condition, or has a weakened immune system. If a serving is missed, resume the normal schedule without doubling. Follow package storage directions and keep out of children’s reach.
