Product Notes:
To ensure it is safe for kids, this children's version of Deep Immune retains just its first two most active ingredients: Astragalus and codonopsis (or "Dang Shen," in Traditional Chinese Medicine), which have long been used to help maintain a healthy immune system and to serve as a vital energy tonic for fatigue, respectively. This combination is geared to children who suffer from recurring colds and flu, and is available both in a traditional (alcohol-based) tincture and in an alcohol-free syrup.
