ChildLife First Defense Immune Support Syrup, 118ml
ChildLife First Defense Immune Support Syrup is a comprehensive formula designed to help bolster your child’s natural defenses and promote a strong immune system from infancy onward. Children’s rapidly growing bodies require significant energy and nutrients to support healthy immune function. First Defense provides essential nutritional building blocks to help bridge this gap.
This unique formula contains:
- Zinc (as Zinc Gluconate): A vital mineral involved in both innate and adaptive immunity. Numerous studies show that adequate zinc intake helps shorten the duration and severity of illness.
- Olive Leaf Extract: Traditionally used for its immune-supporting properties. Research suggests it can modulate the immune response and reduce the duration of upper respiratory infections (URIs). A 2019 double-blind, placebo-controlled study confirmed its effectiveness in improving immune function in physically active individuals.
- Elderberry Extract: Rich in antioxidants and known to stimulate the production of immune cells. Studies show it can significantly reduce the duration and severity of colds. A 2019 study involving 180 participants demonstrated a notable reduction in cold symptoms in those taking elderberry supplements. Research further indicates its effectiveness in reducing the risk of URIs and influenza in children under 5.
- Grindelia Robusta Extract: A plant with potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. A 2014 double-blind study involving 102 children aged 3-6 years demonstrated that Grindelia robusta syrup helped reduce cough duration compared to a placebo.
- St. John’s Wort Extract: Historically used to combat infections, studies suggest it possesses antiviral and antibacterial properties and supports respiratory health. Used cautiously and under professional supervision in children. Studies show good tolerability in children aged 1-12 years at dosages up to 1800mg daily for four weeks.
- Arabinogalactan (from Larch): A polysaccharide shown in preclinical studies to enhance immune system function by stimulating specific immune cells. A 2013 double-blind study found it reduced the frequency of colds and increased the number of cold-free days in adults.
