Expertly crafted vitamins for your child's health and development
Parents want their children to thrive, and while a varied diet of whole foods is ideal, many kids go through phases of selective eating that limit their micronutrient intake and cause concern for parents. Since infants naturally prefer sweet and salty tastes over the bitterness of many fruits and vegetables, these challenges are common as children's palates develop.
BASE Kids aims to support families by creating unflavoured, child-friendly supplements that can be mixed in with a wide array of foods, providing evidence-based doses of essential vitamins, minerals, and fibre.
Our RANGE
Base Kids was founded by paediatrician and mother, Dr Claire Gibbons, to support children’s nutrition with evidence-based, child-centred supplements. With 15+ years experience in child development, she created two gentle, unflavoured, formulated food supplements containing key vitamins and minerals to support periods of fussy eating: Everyday BASE (suitable for most children), and Everyday EXTRA BASE (for those children with more selective dietary intake). Both formulations are powdered and can be added to a diverse variety of food, hot and cold (eg pasta sauces, yoghurt, spreads like butter and peanut butter, avocado, two minute noodles, rice, fruit puree etc).
Free from artificial sweeteners, additives and allergen-tested for gluten and milk, all products are made in a TGA and CMO-approved Australian facility.

why base kids?
developed with Paediatric expertise
Base Kids is a paediatrician-developed range of multivitamin, formulated food supplements for periods of fussy eating. Designed to support children’s unique developmental, health, and wellbeing needs. Our child-centred approach focuses on unflavoured, child friendly formulations with a small serve size that can be mixed with a wide variety of foods (you can mix with any food or drink but some minor clumping may occur in thin fluids so, if your child is a very selective eater with a very narrow range of accepted foods, or has been diagnosed with ARFID, please contact our team to learn more about whether our range mixes well with your child's preferred foods).
science-based nutrition for healthy growth
Each formulation is based on current medical and nutritional research, using precise amounts of vitamins and minerals to support children’s nutritional needs when diet alone isn’t enough. All products are allergen tested for milk and gluten, free from artificial sweetener, colours and flavours, and made in a TGA- and CMO-approved Australian facility.
pure and simple
Free from additives, and non-nutritive sweeteners. The small amount of sugar comes naturally from vitamin D, green banana powder, tapioca maltodextrin, and apple pectin. Each batch is tested for gluten and dairy.
Everyday BASE
Everyday BASE is a formulated supplementary food containing multivitamins and minerals, gentle fibre blend that is suitable for most kids to supplement normal dietary intake during periods of occasional fussy eating. This unflavoured, powdered formulation can be added to most foods (noodles, pasta sauces, yoghurt, icing, spreads like butter and jam, fruit purees). If you're looking for an alternative to a multivitamin gummy, without the sugar, and a small scoop/serve size , Everyday BASE is for you!
Everyday EXTRA BASE
Everyday EXTRA BASE is a formulated supplementary food, multivitamin and mineral formulation for very fussy eaters. With a gentle gut friendly fibre mix that has higher doses of vitamins and minerals, this formulation is for kids who consistently have fussy eating patterns. If your child rarely eats a rainbow of colourful whole-foods (eg a child that prefers beige foods like rice, white bread, potatoes and has little intake of vegetables, fruit or meat) Everyday EXTRA BASE is the formulation for you. Everyday EXTRA BASE is an unflavoured powder, with a small scoop size, that can be mixed in to most foods (pasta sauces, bolognese, butter, spreads) or thickened fluids (eg yoghurt, custard, ice cream, fruit puree, milkshakes, juice).
KEY benefits
nourishment made easy for kids
Base Kids supplements are packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and fibre to support healthy growth. Everyday BASE suits most children, including those with occasional fussy eating, while Everyday EXTRA BASE provides extra nutrients for children with very selective diets.
Mix it, love it, easy to take
Our unflavoured powdered supplements have been formulated to be as taste neutral as possible to little palates. Base Kids supplements can be mixed in with a huge variety of foods, making it simple for parents to keep children nourished, even during phases of selective eating.
HOW TO USE BASE KIDS
Base Kids food supplements are unflavoured, designed to be mixed in with foods your family already eats (pasta sauces, Mac and cheese, yoghurt, pancakes, spreads like Vegemite peanut butter or butter) without altering flavour. Simply mix the recommended serving into the food or spread, making it easy to support your child’s nutrition without fuss or resistance at mealtimes. If you are keen to mix Base Kids in with fluids we recommend flavoured or thickened fluids (rather than plain milk or water) to avoid clumping or sedimentation that little investigative eaters may detect! If you child has a very restricted dietary intake or ARFID and you are unsure whether Base would mix in with your child's preferred food please contact us for further advice. Base Kids products contain no artificial colours, or sweeteners. Allergen tested for gluten and milk, and made in an Australian TGA- and CMO-approved facility.
