The First Line of Defense
The elderberry (Sambucus nigra) has a long history of traditional use in central Europe, especially in the Swiss Alps region where it has been prized for centuries for its ability to support the immune system. Sambu Guard For Kids offers a combination of wild-grown elderberries, elder flowers, and other immune-enhancing ingredients.* Each of the ingredients in Sambu Guard For Kids has been selected because of the specific function it contributes to the formula, and for its ability to work synergistically with the others for maximum effect. A must-have for every household, Sambu Guard For Kids helps to support a strong immune response when taken at the first sign of symptoms. Unlike the regular formula, Sambu Guard For Kids is prepared without honey or fructose, making it more suitable for younger children, and it has added pear juice and natural raspberry flavor so kids will enjoy the delicious, fruity taste.
Key Features
- Specially designed for children’s health, Sambu Guard For Kids consists of wild-grown elderberry juice concentrate, wild-grown elder blossom extract, fresh-pressed Echinacea purpurea, and acerola cherry powder along with licorice root extract, pear juice concentrate, natural raspberry fruit powder and flavor, as well as additional vitamin C
- Elderberries are rich in flavonoids, including quercetin, rutin, and anthocyanins, which provide valuable antioxidants
- The Echinacea plant concentrate (22:1) used in Sambu Guard For Kids is pressed from fresh organically grown plants shortly after harvesting to ensure the maximum amount of active ingredients in the finished product
- Vitamin C and acerola fruit powder are powerful antioxidants that offer further protection
- Free of gluten, alcohol, GMO, pesticides, and artificial additives
- All-vegetarian liquid formula
- Bottled in environmentally friendly glass
- Premium Swiss quality
- Helps support a healthy upper respiratory tract*

RESEARCH FINDINGS
Sambu®Guard For Kids has not been the subject of any clinical trials but elderberry, echinacea purpurea, and vitamin C individually have. Elderberry has shown to be safe and effective in clinical trials (1). *
The anthocyanin flavonoids in elderberry seem to be the main active ingredients that support a strong immune response (2, 3).*

Flora Kindervital Multivitamin for children
$ 21.54
Visit product page →-
Iron-Free Liquid Multivitamins for Growing Bodies
A pleasant tasting liquid supplement for children, Kindervital is a unique, balanced herbal tonic that supplies bone- and tissue-building vitamins and minerals such as calcium and magnesium that are important for growing children. Kindervital helps the body with the absorption and use of calcium, which is especially important for developing strong teeth and your child’s growing bones. The quality and quantity of bone laid down in childhood will strongly impact bone health later in life. In fact, 90% of bone mass is laid down by the age of 17.
Kindervital contains vitamins A, B, C, D and E. The formula is iron-free, because iron competes directly with calcium for absorption. This delicious liquid supplement is made with carrots, wheat germ, rosehips, watercress, horsetail, nettle and spinach. The formula supports eye health and provides vitamins and antioxidants to promote strong immune function.
Today, most children are not eating as nutritiously as they should. The typical modern diet has become saturated with processed, refined foods stripped of their nutrients with empty calories that contribute to childhood obesity. Kindervital helps ensure that youngsters obtain the nutrients they need for proper growth and overall good health.
NPN Claims
Supports normal growth and the formation of tissue, connective tissue and red blood cells
Assists the development and maintenance of bones, teeth, gums, cartilage and night vision
Helps maintain eyesight, skin, membranes and immune function
Helps the body to metabolize nutrients including fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, as well as the absorption and use of calcium
Provides antioxidants for the maintenance of good health and wound healing
Helps in proper muscle function for children over 9 years old and adults
Benefits
Calcium is especially important for your child’s growing bones and for developing strong teeth
Magnesium assists calcium in building bone strength and ensuring that the body utilizes calcium properly. Needed for over 300 biochemical reactions, magnesium helps with nerve, heart and muscle function
Vitamin A repairs tissue, strengthens vision and aids in bone and teeth formation while supporting mucous membranes and their secretions, including those in the lungs
B Vitamins offer “brain food” to the rapidly developing brain of a child and promote nervous system function. B vitamins also promote healthy appetite and stimulate muscle growth.
Vitamin C supports the immune system, helps build strong connective tissue and reduces histamines, which are responsible for the uncomfortable symptoms of seasonal issues including watery eyes, sneezing, runny nose and itching
Vitamin D is the most crucial vitamin in childhood, because it’s needed for proper absorption and use of calcium and phosphorus. Due to the increase of pollution and limited sun exposure, vitamin D deficiency is on the rise, posing a threat to healthy bone development.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that protects the Essential Fatty Acids in cell walls, preventing cells from being damaged. It also supports a strong immune response

The Benefits of Magnesium Research studies have shown that magnesium supplementation can help lower high blood pressure, lower the risk of developing diabetes, decrease the symptoms of PMS, reduce migraine symptoms, and help depression and anxiety. Magnesium has also been shown to help muscle cramps, as well as constipation, kidney stones, osteoporosis, insomnia, fibromyalgia and asthma. Magnesium is needed for calcium to be used by bone. It is needed to help keep muscles relaxed, including those of the heart and blood vessels. It is needed in the function of vital co-factors and enzymes. Diuretics (water-pills) can rob the body not only of potassium, but also of magnesium...yet little advice is given to supplement with magnesium. Magnesium is not as readily available as potassium in common foods, and is depleted by cooking and processing. Sources of magnesium are whole grains, greens, nuts, and seeds; however, the soil itself is depleted of magnesium and these foods do not have as much magnesium now as they used to 50 years ago. People who should not take magnesium are those with kidney failure, bowel obstruction, myasthenia gravis, or heart block. - From the University of Kansas Integrative Medicine page, Oct. 30, 2012 -
