Carlson Kid's Chewable Vitamin C, 250 mg, Tangerine, 60 Vegetarian Tablets

Key Benefits of Vitamin C for Children

Discover Carlson Kid'S Chewable — When it comes to keeping kids healthy, vitamin C is a superstar nutrient. It helps support their natural defence, keeps their teeth and gums in top shape, and even helps their bodies absorb iron from food. Here’s a closer look at what this vitamin does for your child:

• Immune support: Vitamin C helps stimulate the production and function of white blood cells, which are key players in the immune response.
• Teeth and gum health: It contributes to the maintenance of healthy gums and supports the collagen structure in oral tissues.
• Antioxidant protection: As an antioxidant, vitamin C neutralises free radicals that can cause oxidative stress, supporting overall wellbeing.
• Iron absorption: It enhances the absorption of non-heme iron from plant-based foods, helping to prevent iron deficiency.

These benefits make vitamin C a foundational nutrient for children’s daily wellbeing routines.

What Makes Carlson Kid's Chewable Vitamin C a Great Choice?

Carlson Kid's Chewable Vitamin C is made with little ones in mind. Each tablet delivers 250 mg of vitamin C in a delicious tangerine flavour that kids love. They’re sweetened with fructose (a natural fruit sugar) so there’s no artificial nasties. Plus, they’re vegetarian friendly, perfect for families with dietary preferences. The chewable format is easy for kids who can’t swallow pills, and the taste makes it feel like a lolly rather than a chore. Carlson guarantees quality and potency, so you can trust what’s inside.

How to Incorporate This Vitamin C Into Your Child's Routine

Giving your child a daily chewable vitamin C is a breeze. Simply have them chew one tablet each day with a meal to help absorption. The tangerine flavour is so tasty they’ll think it’s a treat. You can pop it in their lunchbox or have it as part of breakfast. For best results, make it a daily habit – consistency helps maintain steady levels. Always supervise young children while they chew.

Recommended Dosage and Safety

For children aged 4 and over, one chewable tablet daily provides 250 mg of vitamin C. This amount is well within safe limits. If your child has any health conditions or takes medications, talk to your GP before starting any new supplement. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place out of reach of kids. As with any supplement, use as directed. Always read the labelled and follow directions for use.

What Is Vitamin C and Why Do You Need It?

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that your body can’t make on its own, so you need to get it from food or supplements. It’s water-soluble, meaning you need a regular intake. For kids, it helps support the immune system, promotes healthy teeth and gums, and acts as an antioxidant. It’s also important for making collagen, which helps wounds heal and keeps skin, bones, and blood vessels strong. With daily exposure to germs, a vitamin C supplement can help bolster their natural defence.
