Immune support or multivitamin for kids..

[BABY_EINSTEIN'S_MOM]

Does anyone give their kids any immune boosting vitamins before trips? If so, could you recommend any that you like?

Yes, we have been doing the Zarbees Naturals Mighty Bee Immune Support. Which is safe for 2+. I also give my kids (2 & 5) vitamin D drops daily in their morning milk.

We take daily multivitamins year round but most of the time before a trip we will take airborne for about two weeks before we leave and sometimes while we are there. No clue if it really works but we have only gotten sick on a trip one time and DS got a virus mid-trip and it snowballed for the next week until we all had a turn.

We give DD both a multivitamin and probiotics. There has been some discussion in pediatric journals and magazines about an increase in immune strength for kids taking probiotics. We give DD Metagenics Ultraflora Children's probiotics... They chewable so it makes it easier for her to take. The multivitamin that we give her also has a greens supplement, because she isn't that great about eating her veggies or different kinds of fruit. Unfortunately, the multi is from a Canadian company so I'm not sure how easy it is to get them... progressive nutritional multivitamin for kids.

Eat fermented foods. Some fermented sauerkraut will deliver billions of beneficial bacteria so much more than any probiotics you buy in a store. Start brewing your own kombucha. So cheap to make yourself. We do this all the time though, not just before trips.

We've just been giving DD more "superfoods" to try to naturally increase her immunity. At 13 months it would be easy to overdose her on vitamins so hopefully this works. We leave in 6 days.
