FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Blackmores Superkids Immune Chewable Gummies are a 99.5% sugar free formulation to support kids’ immune health.
The mineral zinc and the vitamins C and D are essential nutrients, which support a growing child's immune system and play an important role in maintaining normal immune function.
Vitamin C is an antioxidant. It is a water soluble vitamin that is an essential nutrient and required in the diet on a regular basis. Vitamin C supports normal immune function.
Vitamin D receptors have been found in immune cells that are critical to the function and response of the immune system.
The European Food Standards Authority (EFSA)1 has reviewed the evidence on vitamin D in relation to immune health. Based on the evidence presented they concluded that a cause and effect relationship has been established between the dietary intake of vitamin D and contribution to the normal function of the immune system.
Low levels of zinc (in the body) are associated with impaired immune responses and are associated with a reduction in function of most aspects of the immune system. Low zinc levels are also associated with increased susceptibility to infections.
