How it works
Children are more susceptible to colds than adults because they haven’t yet been exposed to or developed immunity to as many of the viruses that can cause the common cold1.
In fact, children can experience colds up to 10 times per year, while adults usually average only a few.
This is a normal aspect of immune system development.
As your child’s immune system matures over the years and learns to recognise and respond to the wide variety of viruses that they encounter, you’ll probably find that they become less susceptible to colds and flu.
ZINC AND CHILDREN’S COLDS
Oriental Botanicals Kids’ Astragalus 8 Immune Shield contains zinc, which reduces the frequency of children’s common colds.
Zinc is an important nutrient for healthy immune system function, so it’s important that your child consumes it in appropriate amounts, for example in foods like eggs, meat, poultry, seafood, wholegrains and legumes.
The zinc in Kids’ Astragalus 8 Immune Shield supports children’s appetite if their intake of zinc from dietary sources is inadequate.
