Zinc for kids

Animal Parade Kid Zinc Lozenges

bought this from iHerb a year ago! ~ USD 11.88
he rejected it!

doesnt he like the tangerine flavour?

he was attracted to the bottle and lozenges and he did try a couple of times, but he just didnt like it.

he will suck for few seconds, at most 1-2 mins and will spit out after that.

although the lozenges have changed a wee bit physically, they are still safe for consumption.
there are dots on the tabs.

im definitely not gonna throw them :p

after putting it aside for more than a year,
he brought this box to me few days ago.

quickly, i gave one to him and waited anxiously while watching him popping the lozenge into his mouth.

1 min.
2 mins.
3 mins.
still sucking.
there it goes!
he is tolerating it.
phew


so yeah, i will give it to him once a day.

zinc lozenge together with 1/4 of redoxon.

dont tell me about aspartame in redoxon.

ever since i introduced redoxon (vitamin c) to my mom 2 years back, she took it religiously and she swears by it now.

we are not fond of supplementations, except for Vitamin C redoxon.

well i dont remember why i bought this zinc supplement but anyway,
zinc is good for ADHD,
helps to fight cold and flu,

older infants who are exclusively breastfed and more prone to be zinc deficient. From NIH

8mg of zinc per lozenge.

strange;
The maximum amount considered safe by the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine for children 1 to 3 years old is 7 mg. For children 4 to 8 years, it's 12 mg. (This is called the tolerable upper intake level or UL.) Babycenter.

oh no, so i think this is for 4 years old and above.
