Children's Immunity

Small children get a great many colds — eight to twelve a year is normal, not a sign of a weak immune system. What supplements can do is cover a genuine shortfall, mainly vitamin D.

What actually helps
  • Vitamin D through winter, which is the one most children are short of.
  • Sleep and food, which do more than any syrup.
  • Hand washing, which cuts what comes home from creche.
  • Realistic expectations: nothing prevents every cold.
