Organic Kids All-in-One Cough Syrup Daytime
Hyland's
Overview
The Hyland's Organic Kids All-in-One Cough Syrup Daytime combines several ingredients with varying degrees of scientific support for cough and cold relief. While some ingredients like organic honey and ivy leaf extract have evidence for soothing coughs and aiding expectoration, the doses of some immune-supporting vitamins and minerals, while present, are on the lower end for therapeutic effect. The 'Organic Soothing Blend' is a proprietary blend, making it difficult to assess the precise efficacy of its components. Overall, it offers a gentle approach to symptom relief, but may not be as potent as pharmaceutical alternatives.
The Good
Uses organic ingredients, appealing to parents seeking natural options for their children.
Features well-recognized demulcents like organic honey and agave syrup to soothe irritated throats.
Organic Ivy Leaf Extract is scientifically supported for its role in reducing cough severity and aiding expectoration.
The Bad
The dosage of Vitamin C (24g) is listed incorrectly as grams; assuming it's milligrams (24mg), it's significantly underdosed for therapeutic immune support (recommended 200-2000mg).
Wild Cherry Bark Extract's efficacy is based on traditional use rather than robust scientific evidence, and it contains natural cyanogenic glycosides which can be a concern in large quantities.
The 'Organic Soothing Blend' is a proprietary blend, meaning individual ingredient amounts are not disclosed, making it difficult to assess optimal dosing.
