Jurassic Elderberry Natural Grape Flavor
KAL Dinosaurs
Overview
This supplement combines several ingredients traditionally used for immune support, notably Vitamin C and Elderberry. While Vitamin C is well-established for its role in immunity and present at a good dose, the efficacy of Echinacea for common cold prevention or treatment is inconsistent across studies, especially in children. The specific extracts and dosages of elderberry, echinacea, and bioflavonoid concentrate, particularly their active compounds like polyphenols, are not fully detailed, making it challenging to definitively assess their optimal effectiveness in this blend. However, the presence of these ingredients suggests a multi-faceted approach to immune health.
The Good

Elderberry extract may help reduce severity and duration of cold/flu symptoms.
Chewable form and natural grape flavor are appealing for children.
The Bad
No specific age-based dosing guidelines provided beyond 'Adults and Children 4+ Years'
Echinacea's efficacy for common cold is debated and may not shorten duration
Sugar alcohol content may cause mild gastrointestinal upset in some children
Is it for you?
Best For: Children, individuals seeking immune support, those who prefer chewable supplements
