Nature's Plus Baby Plex® Liquid Multivitamin Drops (2 fl. oz. / 60 ml)
Balanced, Sugar-Free Daily Nutritional Support for Infants and Young Children
Baby Plex® is an all-natural, balanced blend of vitamins for infants and young children, with a convenient dropper applicator. Nature's Plus knows that for kids, flavor is king! This gentle-but-potent, broad-based liquid formula is precisely tuned for maximum bioavailability, cellular vitality, and gentle digestion during critical developmental windows.
During the first years of life, an infant's physiological development accelerates faster than at any subsequent stage. Whether supplementing breastfed babies requiring immediate dietary vitamin D or bridging nutritional gaps for selective toddlers, Nature's Plus Baby Plex Drops deliver 11 high-potency essential vitamins in a naturally flavored, sugar-free orange liquid base that little ones accept with ease.
Pediatric Nutritional Pillars: Why Every Drop Matters
1. Bone Architecture & Skeletal Growth
Provides 400 IU (10 mcg) of Vitamin D3 (as cholecalciferol/calciferol) per 1 mL serving. This directly fulfills 100% of the daily recommendation by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to prevent nutritional rickets and facilitate calcium and phosphate absorption essential for mineralizing bone and deciduous teeth matrices [1].
2. Cellular Immunity & Tissue Integrity
Combines Vitamin A (1,500 IU / 450 mcg RAE), Vitamin C (43.75 mg), and Vitamin E (5 IU). Together, these fat- and water-soluble antioxidants strengthen mucosal epithelial barriers, enhance innate phagocytic immunity, and mitigate free-radical cellular stress during early immunological maturation [2].
3. Neurological Health & Metabolic Energy
Delivers a comprehensive B-complex spectrum (Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacinamide, B6, B12, Biotin, and Pantothenic Acid) paired with Choline Bitartrate. These key micronutrients act as essential enzymatic coenzymes in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis (acetylcholine), and early central nervous system myelination [3].
4. Gentle on Immature Digestive Tracts
100% Iron-Free Formula: Unlike standard infant drops that can induce gastrointestinal distress, dark stools, infant constipation, or enamel staining, Baby Plex excludes elemental iron, making it gentle for babies already receiving iron via formula or solid table foods.

‡ Sugar Free: Contains a dietarily insignificant quantity of fruit sugars for palatability.
Non-Medicinal / Other Ingredients
Purified water, vegetable glycerin (USP grade derived from non-GMO palm/coconut), natural fructose, polysorbate 80 (safe emulsifier supporting uniform lipid-soluble vitamin dispersion), natural orange flavor, trace sodium benzoate, and trace potassium sorbate (food-grade mineral salts preserving microbiological stability without parabens).
Clean-Label Hypoallergenic Standards
Free from: Artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, egg, tree nuts, peanuts, and dairy/milk. Certified Gluten-Free and Vegetarian-friendly.
Suggested Use & Pediatric Safety Protocol
As a dietary supplement for infants and toddlers up to 4 years of age: 1 mL daily or as directed by your pediatrician.
Safe Administration Guidelines for Infants
Perform the 1-Drop Sensitivity Test: Prior to administering the full 1 mL dose on day one, dispense a single drop onto the inner lip or tongue to evaluate infant taste preference and tolerance.
Prevent Aspiration Risk: Use the enclosed calibrated dropper to slowly dispense the liquid into the baby's inner cheek pouch (buccal mucosa) rather than aiming straight toward the back of the throat.
Direct Oral or Blended Use: Baby Plex may be placed directly in the mouth or seamlessly mixed into 1–2 ounces of expressed breastmilk, infant formula, chilled purees, or fresh juice. (Do not heat or boil after adding vitamin drops).
Storage Instructions: Keep tightly capped in an upright position. Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight (68°F–77°F / 20°C–25°C). Keep out of reach of unattended children.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for Parents & Caregivers
Does Baby Plex provide the 400 IU of Vitamin D recommended by the AAP?
Yes. Each 1 mL serving of Nature's Plus Baby Plex contains exactly 400 IU (10 mcg) of Vitamin D3 (as calciferol), fulfilling 100% of the Daily Value established by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). This makes Baby Plex an ideal all-in-one supplement for breastfed infants without needing a secondary single-ingredient vitamin D dropper.
Why is Nature's Plus Baby Plex an iron-free formula?
Baby Plex is deliberately formulated without elemental iron. Many infants receive sufficient iron through fortified baby cereals, pureed proteins, or iron-fortified formula. Supplemental iron can cause infant constipation, stomach upset, and unsightly dark staining of baby tooth enamel. An iron-free liquid multivitamin ensures broad-spectrum micro-nutrition without gastrointestinal discomfort. Always consult your pediatrician if an iron deficiency has been diagnosed.
How do I administer Baby Plex drops to my baby?
Fill the enclosed dropper to the 1 mL calibrated mark. Slowly discharge the liquid against the inside of your baby's cheek (never squirt directly down the center of the throat to avoid choking). Alternatively, you can mix the 1 mL dosage into a small bottle of expressed breast milk, infant formula, lukewarm pureed baby food, or water. For infants trying the supplement for the first time, begin with a single test drop.
Does Baby Plex contain sugar or artificial sweeteners?
No. Nature's Plus Baby Plex is sugar-free and contains no high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, or artificial sweeteners (like sucralose or aspartame). Its mild sweetness and natural orange aroma stem from vegetable glycerin and trace fruit-derived fructose that provide a dietarily insignificant amount of carbohydrates.
Is Baby Plex safe for babies with food allergies or celiac sensitivity?
Yes. Baby Plex is manufactured in an allergen-controlled facility and is free from the top common allergens: wheat, gluten, dairy/milk, soy, eggs, tree nuts, and yeast. It is also formulated without artificial colorings or FD&C dyes.
Does Nature's Plus Baby Plex require refrigeration after opening?
Refrigeration is not mandatory, but storing the bottle tightly capped in a cool, dry cupboard away from kitchen heat and direct sunlight preserves nutrient stability. Avoid contaminating the glass dropper tip against saliva or bottle rims to maintain sterile product integrity over the 60-day serving lifecycle.
