Childlife Liquid Vitamin C 4 Fl.Oz (118ml)

Description

The vitamin C in this formula comes from sodium ascorbate and ascorbic acid together. Sodium ascorbate is the buffered, non-acidic form, which is generally gentler on a child's stomach than plain ascorbic acid. ChildLife's own guidance is that vitamin C has been researched and shown to help support the immune system through daily use, and that as an antioxidant it can help maintain healthy immune responses and support overall health.

Infants 6 to 12 months take a quarter teaspoon daily. Children 1 to 3 years take half to one teaspoon daily. Children 4 years and over take one to two teaspoons daily. A quarter teaspoon (1.25 ml) provides 60 mg of vitamin C, one teaspoon (5 ml) provides 250 mg, and two teaspoons (10 ml) provide 500 mg. Shake well before use and check the pack, as label instructions take priority over any other source.

The 118 ml bottle contains about 94 quarter-teaspoon servings, 24 one-teaspoon servings, or 12 two-teaspoon servings, depending on your child's age band. Give it directly or mix it into water, juice or your child's usual drink.

Vitamin C as sodium ascorbate and ascorbic acid, in purified water, fructose, vegetable glycerin, natural flavours, potassium sorbate to preserve freshness, and grapefruit seed extract. The formula is sweetened with fructose rather than artificial sweeteners, which means one teaspoon contains 2 g of sugars and two teaspoons contain 4 g. It contains no artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners, and no milk, eggs, soy, wheat, yeast or corn. It is gluten free, casein free, alcohol free and non-GMO.
