About Us
The Science of Kids helps parents make sense of a crowded, confusing market: supplements for children's focus, mood and behavior.
More than 7 million American children have been diagnosed with ADHD, and their parents are often the ones left doing the research at night: gummies, meltables, saffron, magnesium, multivitamins. As more brands launch kids' products with big promises, it's harder than ever to tell which ones are well formulated, fairly priced and easy to give every day.
Why We Exist
We started this site because choosing a supplement for your child shouldn't feel like guesswork. Our goal is to put the important details side by side, in plain language, so you can choose what fits your child, your routine and your budget.
How We Compare Products
Every product on our comparison pages is scored with the same framework:
- Whether it works on absorption and the gut first
- Whether it supplies tryptophan, magnesium and zinc together
- Delivery format: liquid, meltable or gummy
- Whether it supports the gut lining
- Price, guarantee and customer feedback
Our information comes from each brand's published materials and pricing, marketplace listings and customer feedback. Our scores are editorial opinion. We don't run our own clinical or laboratory tests.
How We're Funded
This site is advertising-supported. We receive compensation from some of the brands we feature, including Nutriveen, maker of the product ranked #1 on our comparison page. That compensation may affect which products we feature and how they're ranked. We always say this on our comparison pages, and we always link to the brand's own site so you can check current details for yourself.
What We Are, and What We Aren't
We're a comparison and information site. We aren't a manufacturer, a retailer, a medical practice or a substitute for professional advice. Nothing on this site is medical advice. The products we discuss aren't intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and statements about them haven't been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. Please talk to your child's pediatrician before starting any supplement.
