Vitamin Water's and Kids

Are those vitamin enriched waters/drinks safe for kids? My Aunt gave us a bunch she got on sale and my kids want to drink them, but they get a daily vitamin already. Will they get too many vitamin's if they drink the enriched drinks?
The one's she gave us are the Sobe Life Waters. They have extra Vitamin C, E, B6, B12, Niacin, and Pantothenic Acid listed on the label.

I think it would be fine for them to drink 1 or 2 a day. Those vitamins you named are water soluble, meaning the body will get rid of any excess in your urine. It doesn't get stored by the body.

OK i would think that the one a day that you give the children would be enough and its made for all the vits, a child needs and a drink is not very good for any one that has all kinds of junk in them. and we have lived for years without this and done very good and we dont know a lot about this product and what effects in the future this will have and its just a money game any way to sell people junk that they think is good for them , we know good food is what we need and pure water is the only thing we need to drink .and i know that a over dose of vits are not good for you and may have an effect on the body of the young ones and i wouldnt take a chance!

Flinstone vitamins aren't helping anyway all those vitamin on that shelf for kids aren't doing any good if your really want them to get good stuff go to your nearest health food store like GNC. The reson they are not good is all the sugar and junk they put in those at walmart or were ever they are being gotten . most those are being synthetically made which take the good nutrients out .
