At the full children's serving (ages 4+), you're getting 500mg of **Vitamin C** — solidly within the 250–2000mg clinical range and well above the 90mg RDA. That's a meaningful immune-support dose delivered as a liquid, which makes it easy to adjust for younger kids. The younger children's serving (ages 1–4) provides 250mg, right at the clinical floor.
The form is a blend of ascorbic acid and **sodium ascorbate**, which buffers acidity and makes it gentler on small stomachs than straight ascorbic acid alone. The liquid format also means faster absorption than tablets or gummies, and you can mix it into drinks for picky eaters.
The tradeoff is a small sugar cost — 4g of fructose per full serving. It's modest, but worth noting if you're watching total sugar intake across your child's supplements.
