Definitely recommend it!
Verified purchase
I’ve been giving my kids ChildLife Essentials First Defense as immune support, and it has worked really well for us. If I give it to them within the first 24 hours of the very first signs of a cold, it truly helps the symptoms feel milder and pass more quickly. My kids like taste, I like quality and easy using! I’m very happy with the results and highly recommend it to other parents.

My baby has been taking ChildLife Iron and Vitamin C, and she loves them. This time, I bought First Defense to help her get rid of her residual cold symptoms. The smell of First Defense isn't as good as the other two, but my baby has no problem with the taste. Her symptoms haven't gone away yet after taking it for two days, so we'll need more time to see if it helps. But during this flu season, having a supplement to help support the immune system seems like a good idea.

For stimulating natural immune responses and defending the body. When needed for immune support, use daily at the recommended dosages. For ongoing maintenance, use once daily.

I’m not sure it’s work or not.

I’m not sure it is work or not. Coz I didn’t see the difference from this item. But the taste should be alright, because my 2-year-old didn't refuse it.

Amazing!

Whenever my little one is feeling down, I give him this immune liquid. While there isn’t many choices for little one to get better, it’s good enough. My little one likes to have a sip of it and I feel like it helps to develop his immune system.
