How to Take Best Part
A practical walkthrough of dosing, mixing, timing, and how to make Best Part easier to use with selective eaters.
How to use Best Part day to day
Start with a simple, consistent routine.
Best Part is usually easiest to take earlier in the day and with food. This can help it feel more comfortable and easier to stick with.
If your child is new to supplements or sensitive to changes, it’s okay to start with a smaller amount and build up gradually.
You can mix Best Part into water, milk, or a food or drink your child already accepts. Some families prefer a thinner drink, while others find it easier to mix into something thicker.
If your child has foods they strongly rely on, try to keep those foods predictable. If you do mix into a preferred food, serve the new version alongside the original when possible and make it clear it’s something new.
If your child refuses at first, go slower. Keep it low pressure and consistent. Most families find a rhythm over time.
How to talk to your child about Best Part
What to say, what to avoid, and how to keep it low pressure
How to introduce Best Part
You don’t need to convince your child to take this.
In fact, too much pressure can make it harder. What tends to work better is keeping things predictable, honest, and low pressure.
You can explain it simply:
“This is something we’re trying to help your body get what it needs. It’s different, and we’re going to take it one step at a time.”
There’s no need to compare it to candy or promise a certain taste. It’s okay if your child doesn’t love it right away.
Giving your child a sense of control—like choosing the drink or timing—can help reduce resistance.
The goal is not immediate acceptance. The goal is building a routine that feels safe and consistent over time.
Simple ways to make this work in real life
Quick tips you can come back to as you figure out what works for your child
Choose a format that fits your child’s preferences
Start by considering two things:
- Flavor (Unflavored vs. Mixed Berry)
- Format (drink vs. food)
Some kids do best with Unflavored mixed into familiar foods like applesauce, oatmeal, smoothies, or milk. Others prefer the Mixed Berry flavor in drinks like water or mixed into yogurt or applesauce.
You can also adjust the amount of liquid—some kids prefer a full drink, while others do better with a smaller amount they can finish quickly.
If your child has a small list of preferred foods, read Tip 2 before mixing into those foods.
The goal is to meet your child where they are and build a routine that already feels comfortable.
How to use preferred foods without disrupting them
Children who are selective eaters rely on a small number of preferred foods that feel predictable and comfortable.
Because these foods play such an important role in your child's diet, it’s usually best not to change them right away. Even small differences in taste, color, or texture can make a trusted food feel unfamiliar.
If you’d like to try mixing Best Part into a preferred food, it often helps to treat the mixed version as something new rather than replacing the original.
You can offer the mixed version alongside the original version and even use a different plate, bowl, or cup so the foods stay distinct.
Keeping the original food available helps it continue to feel reliable and trusted.
Protecting your child’s preferred foods helps maintain trust while you explore new ways to introduce nutrition support.
Choose a consistent time earlier in the day
Introducing something new often works best when it becomes part of a predictable routine.
Many families find it helpful to offer Best Part earlier in the day, alongside food, such as at breakfast or lunch. Taking it with food will not only prevent nausea (as any multivitamin will) but also improve the absorption of many nutrients.
Keeping the timing consistent each day can also make the routine feel more familiar and less surprising for your child.
The goal isn’t perfection right away — it’s simply finding a time in the day where the routine feels manageable and repeatable for your family.
Begin with a small amount and build gradually
Some children respond better when new foods or routines are introduced slowly.
Instead of starting with the full serving right away, you can begin with a smaller amount of Best Part and increase gradually as your child becomes more comfortable with the taste or texture.
A slower introduction can make the change feel more manageable and predictable for children who are sensitive to new foods.
Over time, many families find they can build up to the full serving naturally as the routine becomes familiar.
Consistency matters more than starting with the full amount on the first day.
Try mixing Best Part with water first
One of the simplest ways to introduce Best Part is by mixing it into a small amount of water (4-6oz).
Starting with water lets you see how your child responds before adding it to other foods or drinks. Because the powder dissolves easily, many families find it becomes a quick routine that some children prefer to finish in just a few sips.
The light yellow tint in the unflavored version comes from the B vitamins included in the formula. If the color stands out to your child, mixing it in a water bottle or opaque cup can help it look more familiar.
If the flavor feels a little strong at first, you can also add more water to dilute it until you find a balance that works for your child.
Starting simple makes it easier to adjust the routine as you learn what works best.
Small adjustments can make a big difference
If Best Part doesn’t work perfectly the first time, a small adjustment to the mix often helps.
Many children are sensitive to changes in taste, texture, or appearance. A few simple tweaks can make the routine feel more comfortable.
Some families find it helpful to:
- add a little more water if the flavor feels strong
- mix with a small milk frother to create a smoother texture
- let the drink sit in the fridge for a while so the powder fully dissolves
- use a water bottle or opaque cup if the color is distracting
Because Best Part is a powder, it’s flexible. Small adjustments often make it easier to find a version that fits comfortably into your child’s routine.
Keep the routine low-pressure and flexible
It’s completely normal for children to need time to adjust to something new.
Introducing Best Part can be similar to introducing a new food. Many children need multiple exposures before something feels familiar enough to try. Seeing it, smelling it, or having it offered consistently over time can help build comfort, even if they don’t accept it right away.
If your child doesn’t accept Best Part right away, it usually helps to slow the pace and keep the routine calm and predictable.
Some families find it helpful to:
- return to a smaller amount for a few days
- try a different mixing method or format
- introduce the routine earlier in the day
- keep the experience neutral and low-pressure
Small adjustments over time often make it easier for children to become comfortable with the routine.
Finding the approach that works best for your child may take a little experimentation, and that’s completely normal.
