Description

Big Friends children’s vitamins are back in a big way, and now better than ever. Children three years and older will love the great-tasting Big Friends Chewable Vitamin D3 from Natural Factors which provides 400 IU in each tablet to support the healthy development of bones and teeth in childhood. The tasty chewable form is well suited to young children.

 

Known as the “sunshine vitamin”, this essential nutrient is usually synthesized by the skin through sun exposure. However, many experts now recommend supplemental vitamin D for children of all ages as many are at risk of low vitamin D status due to a lack of sun exposure.

 

Vitamin D is vital for the absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus, and helps support the nervous system, and immune function. Vitamin D3 is the natural form needed by the human body and is much more effective at raising active D3 levels than vitamin D2.

 

Chewable vitamins provide a higher potency per dose than gummies, and can satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. Sweetened with xylitol, a child-friendly sweetener that is gentle on tooth enamel.

 

Parents of young children today may fondly recall the Big Friends name from their own childhood, and while this chewable vitamin D3 is new to the family, Natural Factors’ commitment to quality is as steadfast as when Big Friends was first introduced over 20 years ago.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Natural Factors, and is it a trustworthy supplement brand?

Natural Factors is a Canadian-owned supplement manufacturer founded in 1948 and headquartered in Coquitlam, British Columbia. One of North America's largest supplement makers, it operates over 1,000 acres of certified organic farmland in BC's Okanagan Valley and manufactures in-house at Health Canada-licensed, FDA-inspected facilities. Every product is third-party tested through ISURA for over 800 contaminants including pesticides and heavy metals. Natural Factors is also B Corp certified, meeting rigorous environmental and social standards.

What is Natural Factors and is it a reliable Canadian supplement brand?

Natural Factors is one of Canada's largest supplement manufacturers, founded in 1955 by Jack and Rona Katz in British Columbia and still 100% Canadian family-owned. The company controls every production stage from raw material sourcing to finished product. Its facility holds TGA certification from Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration, one of the world's strictest supplement manufacturing standards. All products are ISURA certified — independently tested for 800+ contaminants including pesticides and heavy metals — and Natural Factors conducts four rounds of product testing, double the industry average of two.

What sets Natural Factors apart from other supplement brands?

Natural Factors' most distinctive quality is vertical integration: the company grows its own raw herbs on 1,000+ acres of certified organic farmland in BC's Okanagan Valley, then processes and manufactures in-house. Most supplement brands source raw materials from external suppliers with no direct agricultural control. Natural Factors also uses ISURA third-party testing, a Canadian standard that screens for over 800 contaminants, well beyond typical heavy-metal panels. B Corp certification further reflects a documented commitment to environmental and social accountability, not just a marketing claim.

What makes Natural Factors different from other Canadian supplement manufacturers?

Natural Factors holds TGA certification from Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration — one of the world's most rigorous pharmaceutical manufacturing standards, rarely earned by Canadian brands and far exceeding most North American certification requirements. Its ISURA testing program screens every product for 800+ contaminants, and it conducts four rounds of quality testing per product versus the industry standard of two. The company also operates its own farm in the Okanagan Valley for select botanical ingredients — a level of vertical integration uncommon among supplement manufacturers — and has been family-owned for over 70 years.
