Your child’s immune system is their first line of defense against infections. Essential nutrients like vitamins A, C, D, zinc, and prebiotics play a crucial role in strengthening their immune system. These nutrients help maintain the integrity of the skin and mucous membranes, support the production of immune cells, and enhance the body's ability to fight off pathogens.

Colds and coughs are an inevitable part of growing up, especially during the colder months or when children return to school. While it’s impossible to avoid colds entirely, you can help your child build resilience by ensuring they receive the nutrients needed to fight off those nasty bugs and bounce back to health.

PediaSure^® is designed to support your child's immune system with its PeptiGro™ system, which includes key nutrients like vitamins A, C, D, zinc, and prebiotics. These components are essential for optimal absorption and immune support, helping your child stay strong and healthy.

• Mix It Up: Encourage your child to eat a variety of foods to ensure they get all the vitamins and minerals they need for a strong immune system.
• Stay Hydrated: Keeping your child hydrated is especially important when they have a cold. Encourage them to drink plenty of fluids, and try to avoid sugary drinks.
• Don’t Force It: If your child loses their appetite when they’re unwell, don’t force them to eat. Offer small amounts of food and a nutritious drink like PediaSure® once they start feeling better.
• Wash Hands: Teaching your child to wash their hands regularly can help keep germs at bay and prevent the spread of infections.
