• Fructooligosaccharides are dietary fibers that support gastrointestinal health through improving colonic pH and bulking stool.
• Ginger root offers antibacterial properties and supports the growth of beneficial bacteria such as Lactobacillus.
• Iron is necessary for children's proper mental and physical development and for the production of red blood cells, which carry oxygen throughout the body.
• Vitamin C is included at a level higher than the 100-percent RDA for children because it supports collagen production, without which connective tissues would not form properly and growth would be hindered.
• Xylitol is a natural sweetener extracted from birch trees. Clinical studies have shown it to help prevent tooth decay and the formation of caries.
