What Is MindVita Kids?
Herbalife Gels MindVita Kids is a chewable gel food supplement formulated for children aged 4-17, combining omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) with B vitamins in a Moonbeam Lemonberry flavour. It’s sugar-free and gluten-free, sweetened with xylitol, sorbitol and stevia rather than sugar.
What’s Actually Authorised to Claim
DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision, with the beneficial effect obtained at a daily intake of 250mg — the exact amount in one gel. B vitamins B6, B12, biotin and niacin contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal nervous system function, and normal psychological function.
Transparency note on lutein and zeaxanthin: MindVita Kids also contains a lutein and zeaxanthin mixture. Neither currently carries an EFSA-authorised health claim under EU Regulation 1924/2006 — no approved claim links them to vision, eye health, or cognitive development. They are included here as ingredients, not as claims this article makes on their behalf.
