Immunity Boost
Dr.GreenMom Kids
Overview
This Immunity Boost aims to support the immune system through a combination of Vitamin C and a proprietary blend of Echinacea, Elderberry, and Astragalus. While each of these has some support from clinical trials, the low dose of vitamin C (20mg) is unlikely to have a significant impact. Additionally, the combined amount of herbal ingredients is 250mg, but the amount of each individual ingredient isn't disclosed, which makes it impossible to evaluate whether there's enough of each ingredient to be effective. The overall effectiveness of the product is therefore questionable.
The Good

Includes Elderberry, traditionally used for respiratory support.

The Bad
Low Vitamin C Dose
Proprietary Blend Obscures Individual Dosing
Limited evidence for effectiveness of ingredient combination
