This formula is similar to Flora's Original Sambu«Guard formula, in that it contains the same effective ingredients, including elderberry, elder flower, Echinacea and acerola cherries, but is without honey and fructose, making it more suitable for younger children. With a significantly higher amount of vitamin C then the original formula, it meets the needs of a growing body. It contains liquorice extract to soothe sore throats and relieve coughing, which persists in those with smaller, developing respiratory systems, and a bit of raspberry flavoring has been added for great taste. Truly, SambuGuard for Kids is considered the 'superhero' of the family medicine cabinet.
