How to Boost Immunity of children? Vitamins?
Posted by admin on Sep 14, 2009
Dear MOMS,
I have 2 children aged 5 & 2. With all the recent scares of the flu & also H1N1 I am really worried about their immunity.
I feed them with Scotts Emulsion everyday but recently my daughter refuses to take it. I dunno why la. what shall I do?
Does anyone have any vitamins or supplements or probiotics to recommend? I have been hunting for the best & essentials around but there are so many brands in the market so I dunno which one to go for. There are plenty of products out there that comes with sugar in the vitamins. I want something natural. Got ah?
What do U give your children?
Honey?
Vitamins?
Probiotics?
AHA, DHA?
Please advice & share your thoughts & views. thanks….

Hi Immunity-Mum,
My 7 year old daughter has been deligently take scotts emulsion (orange flavour) though she doesn’t really like the taste but i knew this is good for her immune system. Besides this, she’s not taking any other supplements. So far my daughter’s health has been good, I think besides taking supplements her meals are equally important or at least to me it’s more important than the supplements. Just ensure they eat well, has enough rests I think that should be okay. I have seen some parents have been giving so many expensive supplements but their kids have been falling ill, you see sometimes too much their body might not be able to absorb all. Ensure your kids wash their hands all the time, apply hand sanitiser, wear mask. They should be okay.
hi, i understand how U feel. I also worry bila send anak to school. Dunno what sort of germs they can catch. if children kecil might not cooperate to werar mask. HOw?
Hi Amil,
Sorry, this is what I feel. You know these days a lot of parents are being too worried, urban kids have lower immune system if you were to compare them with rural kids, why because I think these days most of us would confine our kids inside the house for many reasons and hygiene is one of them most of the times kids these days watch tv, play computer games.
When you send your kids to school they would definitely catch cold and cough but that’s okay, as if we don’t let them expose to all these, how can their body have strong immune system. When my daughter attended kindergarten, she would fall ill, fever, cough and cold but she recovers very fast without going to doctors most of the time. I let her heal by itself. Well, this works for my daughter, scotts emulsion, proper meals so far she is very healthy and a happy girl. proper rest.
I am glad that this has worked well for my daughter.
Happy Motherhood!
I make my children wash their hands before eating,after eating.after playing …..just wash wash wash away the germs!
You need to get real vitamins like StarGate Nutrition these are not chemicals they are the real thing. Check out their blog also for swine flu answers. Homeopathy is best for the kids the vaccine sounds nasty./
maybe u can try probiotics – good bacteria to boost the immunity. but those probiotics are not sold vastly that u can get in ordinary clinic or pharmacy.
they have to be prescribed by the paed. the one that is well known, and the one that i usually take for myself or my son is either Prolactor or OMX. U can talk to your paed about it. i supposed they should know about it.
Scotts emulsion is good for those who are naturally healthy. but for those who genetically possessed asthma – the children are easily caught up with flu and cough. that’s what happened to my son. he can’t be triggered at all! so my paed said that scott emulsion may help, but i hv to avoid orange flavor because orange is well known to worsen cough and asthma. so it depends on ur children needs as well.
Hi Ralph
will defitnite look out for Star Gate I have never herad of this brnad before….but is it available in malaysia?
yoe..so I have ti get it prescribed by the docotor la. i see.
Thought I could justy buy it off the shelve.
Hi
I have started to give my kids (7,6 & 4 yos) Septilin a few months back and so far so good. It is a herbal supplement, and i get it from Himalaya Herbs – MVM, KLCC. You can read about it on their website. And btw, normally it is “buy 2 get 1 free” and quite reasonably priced. Good luck!
hi all mothers,
just wanted to share about my friend:-
1.june choo-she has 2 kids(6 & 2),she gave the herbalife nutritional shake as healthy food for more than 9 mths already.never been to doctor since then!!
2.peter sam-he has 12 year old daughter,having same product.never been ill for the past three years.
so,maybe u can consider it as it is all abt nutrition.
Dear Immunity Concern Mum,
I have been trying this product call Agel that has got something for immune. It is very good for those that are weak and children. Furthermore, it is in gel-form so that absorption can speed up. Do let me know if you require more info. My email is andreachowcy@gmail.com

Kudo’s to whoeve4r made this post. Very good stuff, you really know what you’re talking about…signed up for your feed. Thanks
Hello dear..
I have a son with G6PD (1 ½ years old) and he can easily infected with fever, flu and cough but since I gave him 4life (transfer factor advanced) a couple of months ago, he grown healthy and never been infected with fever, flu or cough. The supplement boosts his immune system and gives him a strong immunity. Especially with the spreading of H1N1. Even now I too took the supplement for myself hence I am pregnant with my 2nd baby. For more info about the supplement, you can email to me at jjaws3008@gmail.com. Hope we can share good products with others. Thanx
