Healtheries KidsCare Vit C Plus Echinacea 60 Chewable Tablets x3 (3x Bottles)
Jase: What’s the difference with the echinacea version?
Kimmi: Each tablet declares 50mg of vitamin C plus echinacea extract equivalent to 100mg dry herb. The vitamin C components—26mg ascorbic acid and 27.3mg sodium ascorbate—total 53.3mg rather than the declared 50mg, so the supplied panel has been retained without correction.
Jase: Who shouldn’t take it?
Kimmi: It’s not suitable under age three, contains dextrose, and shouldn’t be used by children allergic to plants in the daisy family. Excess doses may cause diarrhoea, rash or more frequent urination. Ask a healthcare professional first if the child takes prescription medicine, has diabetes or another health condition. This listing is for three bottles of 60 tablets.
