LOS ANGELES, March 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Hiya, the superpowered, direct-to-consumer brand on a mission to reimagine children's health, today announced the release of its first product: a nutrient-dense, sugar-free vitamin meant to promote lifelong health for kids.

Created by L.A.-based fathers Darren Litt and Adam Gillman, Hiya was born out of the pair's realization that the existing options for children's vitamins were all nutritionally inadequate, causing the very health problems they were meant to solve. Stunned that a typical kid's vitamin contained as much sugar as a piece of chocolate cake, Litt and Gillman brought together a team of leading pediatricians and nutritionists to formulate a better vitamin with zero sugar. The result is Hiya, a daily chewable vitamin extracted from real food with all the nutrients kids need.

"If kids ate steamed kale every day, they might not need a multivitamin," said Litt. "But we live in a world of chicken fingers and macaroni and cheese, where a perfectly balanced diet isn't always a reality. So we worked with experts to formulate a vitamin that could help parents everywhere build a foundation of lifelong health."

With 98% of children exceeding their daily recommended sugar limit, leading to an epidemic of diet-induced disease, the two dads felt compelled to do something.

"Sugar addiction is an epidemic – and yet the average children's supplement contains two teaspoons of sugar given to kids each and every day," said Gillman. "Our imperative is to provide a children's vitamin that does what it's marketed to do – without the unnecessary sugar and gummy junk."

And Hiya is kid-approved. Despite having zero sugar, the vitamin is naturally sweetened and has been taste-tested by families. Hiya sends a reusable bottle that can be personalized, then each month, families receive additional vitamins in recyclable packets, teaching kids to be environmentally conscious.
