SP Children’s® Immune

The immune system is responsible for keeping out foreign substances, protecting the body, and helping maintain wellness through a person’s lifespan. When nutrition is poor, a healthy immune response can be compromised.¹ On the other hand, consuming adequate amounts of essential nutrients is crucial to the immune response’s function and development.¹  Fortunately, SP Children's® Immune is designed for everyday support to encourage a lifetime of wellness.

Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Zinc: Where Immune Systems Get Their Strength  

Vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc are vitally important for the immune system throughout all life stages, including childhood.¹ SP Children's® Immune is an excellent source of all three.

• Children need Vitamin C for a functioning immune system²
• Vitamin D is a regulator of immune function¹
• Zinc is an essential mineral for immune system function³

Contains Prebiotic 2’-FL and Colostrum

The largest immune organ in the body is the GI tract. That’s why SP Children's® Immune contains important ingredients that may support the gut and may contribute to a healthy immune system response*:

• 2’-FL, a prebiotic first identified in human milk, is able to reach the lower GI tract^4-9 where it is broken down to feed the growth of beneficial microbes^{6-11*^}
• Bovine colostrum is sourced from a whole food (cow’s milk) and supports a normal healthy immune response in the GI tract¹² 

 ^{^To date, shown in multiple animal studies, infants, and one adult human study.}

Made Safe and Effective for Children

In a taste and tolerance study, SP Children's® Immune was considered safe and well-tolerated by children between 4 to 17 years old. No indications of adverse effects were observed.

Like all Standard Process products, SP Children's® Immune is subject to a rigorous quality control program. Our scientists run as many as 2,000 tests every week on raw materials, in-process product batches, and finished products so that we can be sure what is in the bottle reflects what is on the label.
