One A Day® Launches First of its Kind Multivitamin Gummy with Iron to Help Fill Nutrient Gaps in Kids
One A Day® Kids Multi with Iron provides 2/3 of the recommended daily value of Iron and is one of three offerings in the new Kids' line WHIPPANY, N.J., July 23, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--One A Day®, the multivitamin and supplement brand rooted in 80+ years of nutritional science, announced the launch of One A Day® Kids Multi with Iron, a gummy multivitamin with 12mg of iron per serving1—no kids multivitamin gummy among leading brands has more iron—to help fill nutrient gaps kids may have. Iron is an essential mineral for healthy growth and development. As picky eating behavior is common according to a new survey sponsored by One A Day®, children may be falling short of important nutrients like iron. The survey sponsored by One A Day® reveals that mealtime can often feel like a standoff for parents and kids, with approximately two-thirds (66%) sharing that their child refuses meals at least once a week and more than half (54%) say their child mostly eats snacks, while refusing full meals. This can make it challenging to help kids get enough of the key nutrients they may need for healthy development and highlights the need for nutritional support during this picky phase. The survey also found that over half (51%) of parents worry their child's eating habits will affect growth and development, with 46% saying that managing their child's eating habits is a top parenting concern – even ahead of screentime. To shed light on the ways that parents can help kids get enough daily nutrients, One A Day® Kids is partnering with Dr. Jessica Andrade, board certified pediatrician. "Through my experience working with children and their families, I know how important good, balanced nutrition is for supporting kids' healthy development," shares Dr. Andrade. "Iron is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies in children, and it is crucial to their development. Adding these vitamin gummies to children's daily routines is a simple and tasty way to help meet daily iron needs, especially when they may lack iron in their diets." One A Day® Kids Multi with Iron is one of three offerings in the new One A Day Kids' line. These easy-to-chew gummy multivitamins are specially formulated with key nutrients for kids to support overall healthy growth and development as well as eye, brain, and immune health. One A Day® Kids Multi with Iron Gummies provides key nutrients and an excellent source of iron with 12mg of iron in two gummies a day – providing ⅔ of the recommended Daily Value for this key nutrient. One A Day® Kids Multi With Probiotic Gummies contains essential nutrients, and a probiotic clinically tested in kids. It includes 1 billion CFUs of Bacillus Subtilis DE111® probiotic per serving (2 gummies) to support gut health. One A Day® Kids Multi Gummies is formulated with 9 key vitamins and minerals, offering nutritional support in delicious natural fruit flavors orange, raspberry, and cherry2. "As a brand dedicated to providing consumers with nutritional support at important life stages, we know how important it is for parents to have a trusted multivitamin that kids actually want to take because they like the taste and texture. That's why we are excited to introduce the new One A Day® Kids line including the first of its kind gummy multivitamin with iron for kids," says Lisa Perez, mom of three and General Manager Nutritionals at Bayer, the maker of One A Day®. One A Day® Kids Gummies are formulated with good stuff parents want, without stuff they don't: free of artificial sweeteners, high fructose corn syrup and egg, fish/crustacean shellfish, and dairy (milk) – making them a great option for helping little ones thrive. With this launch, One A Day® reaffirms its commitment to providing consumers with high-quality multivitamins specially designed for different life stages, genders, ages, or health goals.

Tiny island off UK coast 'looks like Caribbean' with white sand beaches
Want to go to the Caribbean this summer but lack the budget? Turns out, there's an island much closer to home that offers similar views without the long-haul flight If you're on the hunt for an idyllic spot to visit this summer without breaking the bank on flights, travel expert Chris Lawlor suggests a hidden gem right off the coast of the UK he claims rivals much more exotic locations. "Did you know that in Scotland you can visit a tiny island that looks like the Caribbean with a white sandy beach and turquoise waters?" he began in a TikTok video, showcasing the stunning destination. The entire island is "explorable on foot", according to Chris, who ventured inland during his visit, as he detailed other activities life on the island benefits from. First, he visited a nearby "sacred abbey" offering coastal "tranquillity," and highlighted the "many other treasures" discovered along his walk. What's more, it's only a 10-minute boat ride from the Isle of Mull. In his clip, Chris recommended "soaking in the views" at Ailidh - a quaint coastal pizza takeaway that also serves local seafood and sweet treats. "Remember to respect this wee island called Iona," he concluded. "I've spent so much time in Scotland over the years, but completely missed this gem," one TikTok user confessed in response. "Thanks for sharing." Another person reminisced: "Visited here with family when I was about 11 I never forget this place because of how clear the water was looking over the side of the boat and seeing hundreds of little jellyfish fish." A third gushed: "One of the most beautiful places I've ever visited." Whilst a fourth shared their experience of the island, adding: "I was lucky enough to visit Iona during my time in Scotland. I stumbled upon an art store and bought a beautiful glass dish. Even on a cold, cloudy day it's beautiful." The island's official tourism website states online: "Iona, with its beauty and white sand beaches, has a time and place for everyone. From Dunbhuirg, the Iron Age fort, to the Marble Quarry, worked even in the 20th Century; from St Columba's Bay in the south, to the White Strand of the Monks in the north, many places have their stories to tell." It further highlights that Iona's wealth of activities include golf, fishing, shopping and dining out experiences and of course, its walks. "The joy of Iona is that everything on the island is happily reached on foot," Welcome to Iona continues. "And though relatively small, the island has a wide variety of places to enjoy from the beautiful beaches that surround Iona to the high point of Dun I which affords dramatic views of the surrounding islands." When it comes to dining, there are two hotel restaurants that offer meals throughout the day, and there is the Iona Heritage Centre Garden Café that offers light snacks and soups from late morning until late afternoon. "Each location has its own unique ambiance and style, and of course during the summer months they all be very busy," the website adds. "Hence, reservations are recommended - and are often essential for large parties."

Very happy with my purchase." However, different shoppers disagreed, suggesting they found it difficult to check the water tank. One such response read: "This iron is reasonably priced and has a smooth stainless steel soleplate that does exactly what it is supposed to do. The only issue I have with this model is the dark water tank, which is impossible to see through, so I never know the water level." A second agreed: "I like the stainless steel soleplate, which is more difficult to find now. The water tank is a little dark making it difficult to see the water level." A third echoed: "With a stainless steel sole-plate it is very smooth to use. I have knocked one star off because the colour of the water tank is quite dark, which makes seeing the water level a bit more difficult than it need be." Despite this, shoppers had success using the iron. A pleased customer replied: "I'm amazed by the quality of this iron. I haven't got to the bottom of my ironing pile in about 5 years because I hate ironing so much but with the Russell Hobbs steam iron I got through my ironing pile in a a couple of sittings - now that is saying something." But someone else said: "Good iron on lightweight material but wouldn't get creases out of my jeans even with steam full on and spaying with water."

Chewing ice a sign of anaemia?
KUALA LUMPUR - For some individuals, ice is not just a beverage companion, but a daily 'snack' that must be chewed for its crunchy and cooling sensation. However, behind this seemingly trivial habit lies the question: is it merely a quirky preference or an early sign of an underlying health issue? Globally, a systematic review of 89 studies from 33 countries found that 22.5 per cent of pica cases involved the habit of chewing ice. - 123RF photo Deputy Dean of Academics (Health Sciences) at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Prof Dr Barakatun Nisak Mohd Yusof, said that the habit of frequently chewing ice is known as pagophagia, a type of pica, which is a compulsive craving to consume non-food substances such as ice cubes. "Globally, a systematic review of 89 studies from 33 countries found that 22.5 per cent of pica cases involved the habit of chewing ice. The same study also reported that 81 per cent of pica cases occurred alongside anaemia, indicating a strong correlation between the two conditions,' she told Bernama. Dr Barakatun Nisak, who is also a dietetics expert at UPM, said many individuals with iron deficiency or anaemia develop an unusual craving for chewing ice, a habit that typically disappears once iron levels are restored. "What may seem like a harmless habit could actually be a sign of a nutritional disorder. While ice itself does not affect the digestive system, its link to pica reflects a more serious underlying health concern,' she said. Related Articles: Australian nursery worker charged with raft of child sex crimes Dr Barakatun Nisak explained that pagophagia is one of the indirect symptoms of anaemia, which occurs when the body lacks sufficient haemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen. "Symptoms of anaemia include fatigue, paleness, shortness of breath, headaches, and in some cases, a strong craving to chew ice,' she added. Therefore, she recommends that individuals with a fondness for chewing ice undergo blood tests to check haemoglobin levels, serum ferritin, serum iron, and Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) to assess iron absorption levels. "Although there are no official statistics in Malaysia, chewing ice should not be dismissed as a simple habit. It may be an early sign of nutrient deficiency, especially iron, and should be screened or referred for further examination. "The most important step is to treat the root cause, not just to substitute the ice. Whether it stems from nutritional deficiency, emotional stress, or compulsive behaviour, the treatment must be holistic,' she emphasised. Associate Professor Dr Nor Azlida Mohd Nor, a Public Health Dentistry expert from the Faculty of Dentistry, Universiti Malaya, said persistent pagophagia can pose risks to dental health. "If chewing ice is only done occasionally, it does not have serious effects on the teeth. But if it becomes habitual, it can cause tooth sensitivity, wear, and micro-cracks or fractures in the teeth or existing fillings,' she said. More worryingly, she said, prolonged chewing of hard objects can lead to major cracks or fractures in the teeth that affect the nerves and roots, potentially requiring more complex dental treatment. "In some cases, it may also affect the jaw joints and surrounding muscles, leading to pain, clicking sounds, or difficulty moving the jaw,' she added, noting that pagophagia is also linked to eating disorders and anaemia. For Nur Nadhirah Ali Imran, 26, plain ice used to be her must-have during meals - to the point she would order a glass of ice just to chew and satisfy her craving. "If I couldn't chew ice, I'd feel stressed and unsatisfied. But I'm grateful that I haven't experienced any serious health issues so far,' said Nadhirah, who eventually decided to quit the habit entirely after realising the potential health risks. - BERNAMA
