I need a few recs for Vit C for my 4 year old and even my 4 month old?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

Right now we are taking the 500 mg chewables by Natural Factors.  I picked it up in the natural section of Wegmans thinking it was probably pretty good.  The 4 year old and the husband loves them but I read somewhere that it's synthetic so I'd like next time to get something better.  I want to keep him as healthy as possible since colds really make his asthma flare and he's starting Pre-K so I know we are all in for it!

 

And what's the recommendation for nursing 4 month olds?  We have a doc appointment next Tuesday so I can ask then but I'm just curious to see what others do to build their non-vaccinated infant's immune systems in addition to breastfeeding. 

 

 

Thanks!

If it says Ascorbic Acid on the label, it is synthetic and made from corn syrup, amongst other things.
Best choice, is Acerola Powder. Its taste yummy, and works incredibly well.

For stronger immunity, I would add fermented cod liver oil to the mix. Skip the fish oils, as they do not have good levels of A and D and are way to high in DHA and something else? for little ones.
