Before answering this question specifically, it’s important to think through the following.
People are different, with different metabolisms, eating habits, in different life situations and living with a different intensity. It would therefore be a very rough simplification to declare that all people should consume the same amount of a vitamin or nutritional supplement. Of course, from a marketing perspective, recommending to take X number of pills per day is very easy to communicate. Unfortunately, things are not quite that simple, because our body is a very complex system, and each person is a little different. It would be foolish to think that everyone has the exact same need for vitamins, minerals, trace elements and vegetable coloring matter with no consideration to their age, weight, state of health, eating habits and lifestyle. It can even change for an individual on a daily basis, since if they have a stressful day or do a powerful physical activity, their need changes right away.
As the name of the product refers to children, this is essentially an immune system booster for children, but due to its composition it can be excellent for people suffering from allergies, the elderly, and people with cardiovascular diseases. So don’t be misled by its name. In the case of children, the amount of Child product taken should be adjusted based on their age.
Our recommendations are intended for a relatively healthy child with an average weight under an average strain.
1 to 2 years old, ⅓ scoop per day – 1 box is enough for 6 months
3 to 5 years old, ½ scoop per day – 1 box is enough for 4 months
6 to 11 years old, ¾ scoop per day – 1 box is enough for 2.5 months
12 years old and above, 1 scoop per day – 1 box is enough for 2 months
HOWEVER!
When, as a parent, you feel like your child is under a harder strain either mentally or physically, (e.g. starting socializing, doing intensive sport activity, a test is coming up at school) or you feel like they’re “coming down with something” (e.g. a cold, infection), it is good to increase the frequency of consumption of the product, so not only taking it 1x per day, but you may give it to them up to 2x or 3x during the course of a day. It is important that if possible you increase not the dose, but rather the frequency of the consumption. This way you can help to support their immune system much better.
Adults are recommended a dose of 1 scoop per day as a general immune system booster. In this case 1 box is enough for 2 months.
If an individual has an allergy, is recovering after an operation, is elderly or is in a very weak state of health, it is recommended to increase the frequency of the consumption, so to consume not 1x, but 2x or 3x in the course of the day. When their condition has improved / stabilized, they can switch to a dose of 1 scoop per day or to the Topform product.
