Benefits
Is Beta Glucan beneficial for children?
Yes, children can certainly benefit from taking Beta Glucan. Keep in mind that a child’s immune system is still developing up until about 2 years of age. They typically do not benefit from supplementation until after the 2-year mark. However, Beta Glucan is safe for children at any age. Our Immune Ready™ Kids product is specifically designed for children. Each delicious, gummy contains 25mg of Beta Glucan along with immune essentials providing the extra immune support your child needs.
How does beta glucan enhance Immune Ready™ Kids gummies?
Beta Glucan plays a key role in boosting the immune system. It helps to activate immune cells, such as macrophages and neutrophils, to recognize and attack potential threats, making the body more efficient at defending itself against infections.
Why was Vitamin C included?
Vitamin C is essential for immune function. It supports various cellular functions of the immune system, and its antioxidant properties protect against oxidative stress, which can weaken immune cells. It also helps maintain healthy skin, which serves as a barrier to infections.
How does Zinc contribute to the benefits of Immune Ready™ Kids gummies?
Zinc is vital for immune cell development and function. It helps white blood cells, such as T-cells and macrophages, function properly and is essential in fighting infections. Zinc also promotes wound healing and supports normal growth and development in children.
Why is Selenium important for children?
Selenium is beneficial because of it’s immune enhancing capabilities, heart health support, and antioxidant properties. There have been many substances tested alongside Beta Glucan and Selenium is one that shows tremendous synergistic effects as it pertains to a safe and effective immune response. It is an essential micronutrient that most children in developed countries are deficient in.
What are the roles of Vitamin D3 in Immune Ready™ Kids gummies?
Vitamin D3 is crucial for immune health. It supports the regulation and activation of immune responses. Since many children have low Vitamin D levels, especially in winter months, supplementing with Vitamin D3 helps ensure they maintain a strong immune system year-round.
Do Selenium and Vitamin D3 cause immune stimulation?
No, these micronutrients are not specifically immune stimulants, but they do help the immune system perform optimally when combined with Beta Glucan.
How does Immune Ready™ Kids contribute to overall mental well-being?
Immune health is closely tied to mental well-being. When the body is protected against illness, children can maintain consistent energy levels and focus, which leads to better performance in school and improved mood. Nutrients like Vitamin D3 and Selenium are also known to support brain health.

If a child is under the age of 2, they can still receive great benefits from Immune Ready™ Kids. While the ingredients are safe, parents need to determine whether or not the child can safely swallow the gummy, which can be broken down into smaller pieces, if necessary.
Is it easy for children to get into the Immune Ready™ Kids jar?

Can kids take too much? Is there any risk of overdosing?
The levels of ingredients in Immune Ready™ Kids are extremely safe. The only potential issue is if a child consumes an entire jar at one time and continues to do so for months on end.
