Efferflu C Immune Boost Junior 20 Effervescent Tabs

Efferflu C Immune Booster Junior is the children's version of the well-known winter effervescent, with vitamin C and zinc at a strength suited to younger bodies. It dissolves into a flavoured drink, which most children accept more readily than a tablet or syrup. It is made for school-going children who bring home every bug in the classroom. Vitamin C supports the function of white blood cells, protects cells from oxidative stress and is required to build collagen in skin, gums and blood vessels. It also improves the absorption of iron from food. Zinc is required by more than 300 enzymes. It is essential for immune cell development, wound repair, normal skin and the senses of taste and smell.

Children in school or creche can catch eight to ten colds a year, and each one tends to make its way through the whole household. Vitamin C and zinc are the two nutrients most closely tied to immune function, and children who eat little fruit and vegetables seldom get enough of either.
