Ingredient Information

Vitamin C

• Vitamin C is available in different forms:
  • Ascorbic acid is pure Vitamin C on its own. However, because it’s acidic, children with sensitive stomachs may react to it.
  • Sodium ascorbate is a buffered form of Vitamin C that binds ascorbic acid to sodium molecules. This makes it more suitable for children with sensitive stomachs.
• Vitamin C is “the immunity vitamin”. It helps children’s bodies to build up resistance to all kinds of common infections; and can help to reduce their recovery time.
• Children’s white blood cells (part of their immune system) need Vitamin C to function normally and help them fight off bacterial / viral infections. These infections also increase children’s need for Vitamin C.
• Children’s bodies use Vitamin C to make collagen – a protein that helps to form healthy skin, ligaments, tendons, bones and teeth. 

Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea)

• Native American herbalists traditionally used Echinacea (also called Purple Cone Flower) to help fight infections.
• Today, we know Echinacea has immunity-boosting properties that can help keep children healthy during cold season, and help them fight off other bacterial and viral infections.
• Echinacea can also help their bodies to heal and clear common skin conditions.
