pawprint, yar thats wat I am giving faye daily. She also take Gaia's Children brand Echinecea once in a while (one small bottle, 1.5 dropper each time 2x daily, 3-4 weeks interval in between each bottle). I've tried several similar brands, find this to be most effective, its also one of the purest. When she is sick, I up vit C dosage to bowel tolerance level, for faye that means 1/4 teaspoon 2-3 times daily depending on how sick she is. Diff children have diff tolerance levels, so u need to find out for yourself what tena needs.
probiotics- When I do remember Faye does take probiotics too, lifeFlora from vitakids, comes in powdered form, 1/4-1/2 teaspn each time. Its one of the most effective ones I've found so its also a staple in my fridge.
I dont take the vit C daily myself cause this vit C only spree then can get, need to ration properly leh. If I take daily then v fast finish liao. Hubby had a bad cough over the weekend, 1 teaspoon 3x a day and 2 days later his cough was gone, thank goodness! In the past his coughs usually cant be stopped wan, always cough v badly for at least 1-2 weeks.
