Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much vitamin C do children need daily?

A: Vitamin C daily requirements vary by age — children aged 1–3 years need 35mg, 4–8 years need 45mg, 9–13 years need 45–65mg, and teenagers need 65–75mg. The 260mg in Go Kids Vitamin C is well above the minimum requirement and provides a therapeutic immune-supporting dose. Vitamin C is water-soluble, so excess is excreted in urine rather than accumulating to harmful levels.

Q: Can children take chewable vitamin C tablets daily?

A: Yes — daily vitamin C supplementation is safe and beneficial for children, particularly during winter or when dietary fruit and vegetable intake is lower than ideal. Chewable tablets like Go Kids Vitamin C make daily supplementation easy. Follow the label directions for age-appropriate dosing and do not exceed the recommended amount.

Q: Does vitamin C prevent colds in children?

A: Research shows that regular vitamin C supplementation may reduce the duration and severity of colds in children, particularly in those with physically demanding lifestyles. While it does not prevent colds entirely, consistent vitamin C intake supports a robust immune response. Starting vitamin C when symptoms begin may help reduce the length of illness.

Q: Can Go Kids Vitamin C be given to toddlers?

A: Go Kids Vitamin C chewable tablets are best suited for children old enough to safely chew and swallow tablets without choking risk — typically from 4 years of age. For younger children and toddlers, liquid vitamin C drops or powder are safer formats. Ask our pharmacist for suitable vitamin C products for children under 4 years.
