Back-to-School… Immune Support Strategies for When Kids are Most Susceptible

SALT LAKE CITY, Sept. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- More than 50 million American kids are headed back to school this fall, and they're not alone. In addition to new backpacks, they'll be carrying billions of microbes and germs eager to get acquainted with your child. To help families prepare, Zarbee's Naturals, the company behind the fastest growing natural cough syrup for children, is expanding its family wellness offerings with a new line of immune support products formulated specifically for every member of the family – from infants as young as 2 months to toddlers, 'tweens, and their active parents. Each is packed with natural ingredients, key vitamins and minerals to help support your family's immune systems without drugs, alcohol or artificial dyes.

Studies show that children in daycare or school may catch up to 12 common viral infections each year, with each lasting seven to 10 days. Don't get scared, get prepared. While sick days are a normal part of growing up and help to prepare the immune system, it's possible to reduce the number of colds and flus that stop busy families in their tracks.

"The building blocks of a strong immune system are good food, good sleep, and good physical activity," maintains Dr. Zak Zarbock, pediatrician and founder of Zarbee's Naturals. "Studies link deficiencies in zinc and vitamins A, C, D and E to reduced immune function, so it's best to ensure your child is getting the immune-supporting vitamins, minerals and nutrients they need with a quality supplement."

The new Zarbee's line includes:

Mighty Bee Immune Support: Gummies that are free of animal by-products and safe for kids ages 2 and up. Featuring Elderberry, clinically proven to support a strong immune system, Mighty Bee gives kids support when they're most susceptible. The formulation of vitamins and minerals includes Vitamins C and D, both of which play a number of roles in promoting normal immune function.

Daily Bee Immune Support: Gummies that are formulated for every day support in kids ages 4 and up. Daily Bee includes Vitamins C, A and E. Plus, it features Echinacea – one of the most popular supplements in the U.S., which has long been used to promote overall health – and zinc, both of which help maintain and bolster the immune system.

Baby Immune Support + Vitamins: The only immune support product on the market for babies as young as 2 months. Designed to provide infants and toddlers with everyday immune support and essential vitamins, Baby Immune Support + Vitamins contains brown rice syrup extract and zinc (both known to help maintain the immune system). In addition, the formula includes Vitamins C, A, D3 and E.

Elderberry Immune Support: Gummies with a concentrated formula featuring a burst of Elderberry, Vitamin C and Zinc to help support the maturing immune system. Great for 'tweens and teens who have outgrown the need for young children's products and perfect for their parents too. The pectin-based formula features natural ingredients, with no animal by-products, drugs, alcohol or artificial dyes.
