How ViraKid Works
ViraKid combines nutrients and botanicals that each play a recognized role in supporting a healthy immune response. Zinc and vitamin C are foundational nutrients that help support normal immune cell activity, while vitamin A helps maintain the integrity of mucosal tissues that serve as a first line of immune defense. European elderberry extract, standardized for anthocyanin content, is a traditional botanical long used to support seasonal immune wellness, and astragalus root extract is included for its traditional use in supporting overall immune resilience. Together, these ingredients are designed to give caregivers a well-rounded, chewable option to help support a child's immune system.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- European Elder Berry Extract (Sambucus nigra): traditional botanical standardized for anthocyanin content, used to support seasonal immune wellness
- Astragalus membranaceus Root Extract: traditional botanical used to support overall immune resilience
- Zinc (as TRAACS™ Zinc Bisglycinate Chelate): supports normal immune cell function
- Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid USP): supports immune defenses and antioxidant activity
- Vitamin A (from Natural Beta Carotene): helps maintain healthy mucosal barrier tissue
This chewable tablet contains added sugars as part of its chewable base; caregivers managing a child's sugar intake may wish to factor this into their daily routine.
