I take vitamin d, whole vitamin c, turmeric, zinc, quercetin, and elderberry gummies for immune health and haven’t gotten sick except for a 24 hour stomach bug since I started it. My 1 and 3 year old get sick pretty regularly though and I want them to be better at fighting it off.
My 3 year old gets an elderberry gummy for kids that has a little zinc and I’m planning to also add in vitamin-d drops. There don’t seem to be many vitamin supplements for babies though and I’d like to be able to also give something to my 1 year old. Anyone have any suggestions for research they can point me to?
I get it. They should get sick to build their immune systems. I just want to help them fight sickness more efficiently. Both in daycare so they already catch a lot. As a parent, it’s hard to see your kid feeling bad with not much you can give them to feel better. Most medicines are for older kids so the young ones just have to tough it out most of the time it seems.
