A deliberately simplified daily multivitamin and mineral powder for children aged 4+.
Neurohappy Extra Sensitive Daily Essentials is a deliberately simplified multivitamin and mineral powder created for children with sensory sensitivities.
It comes in a small 1g serving that can be added to a familiar food or drink. Each pouch provides 60 × 1g servings.
Children with sensory sensitivities can detect even small changes in familiar foods and drinks. Adding more ingredients is not always helpful if it changes the taste or makes the supplement difficult for the child to accept.
Extra Sensitive was therefore developed around a smaller serving and a carefully selected range of vitamins, minerals and other ingredients.
Scoop provided.
The total daily serving can be given all at once or divided into smaller portions, depending on your child's sensory preferences.
Can be added to your child’s food or drink
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
Keep out of reach of young children.
If your child has a medical condition or is taking any medication, please consult a healthcare professional before use.

Hannah –
The smell and taste seem quite similar to the previous formula, although I could be wrong. My son has been able to detect it in both his chocolate spread and his water, but I’ve found that he notices it less when I mix it into a larger amount of chocolate spread. I’ve also been adding it to a 750ml bottle of water, which he usually finishes by the end of the day. Sometimes he can detect it, and sometimes he can’t.
So far, he’s managed to take the full dose on most days, which is a positive. I think it might be less noticeable in water than in food, although it’s difficult to say for sure. He has a very limited safe food list, so there aren’t many things I can try mixing it into. I haven’t tried it in a smoothie either, as he doesn’t usually finish the whole portion.
I haven’t tried other brands of sensitive vitamins, so I can’t compare it with anything else. However, I’m happy to stick with Neurohappy for now. I really like the brand’s ethos, the focus on quality ingredients and the fact that it’s made by a small business.
With the new formula containing less zinc than the original, I’m also giving my son tasteless zinc drops in his water to make up the difference. The iron has been removed from the extra-sensitive formula because it was identified as the strongest-tasting mineral, which I understand given the aim of making it easier for sensory-sensitive children to tolerate. I haven’t managed to find tasteless iron drops yet, so I haven’t been able to replace that separately.
Overall, I would still recommend Neurohappy. The new formula hasn’t made the taste completely undetectable for my son, but he’s managing to take the full dose on most days, which is a big plus for us. Every sensory-sensitive child is different, and finding supplements they can tolerate can be a real challenge. There probably isn’t one formula that will work perfectly for everyone, so sometimes it’s about finding what works best for your own child and making adjustments where needed.
