Zinplex Junior Multivite Syrup is a complementary multivitamin and zinc supplement formulated for children aged 1 to 12 years. It combines vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C and D3 with elemental zinc in an orange-flavoured, once-daily syrup — a familiar format if you're looking for a children's multivitamin to help support everyday nutritional intake alongside a balanced diet.
Each 5 ml delivers a measured amount of each nutrient, including 5 mg of elemental zinc (from zinc citrate trihydrate), 50 mg of vitamin C and 400 IU of vitamin D3. The syrup is orange flavoured to make it easier to give, and it's Halaal certified by SANHA. It's also NAPPI coded, which is useful if you're submitting for a medical aid claim.

How to Use
Give once daily, after a meal, at the same time each day. The dose depends on your child's age:
| Children 1 to 3 years | 5 ml once daily |
| Children 4 to 8 years | 7.5 ml once daily |
| Children 9 to 12 years | 10 ml once daily |
Or use as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Give the syrup two hours before or two hours after other medicines. Do not exceed the recommended dose. If a dose is missed, don't give a double dose — simply continue with the next scheduled dose as usual.
Storage
Store at or below 25°C in a cool, dry place, and keep the container tightly closed and protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children, and don't use after the expiry date printed on the bottle or carton.
Pandylane Pro Tip
Pandylane Pro Tip: Zinc absorption can be reduced when taken at the same time as milk, or calcium, iron, magnesium or phosphorus-containing products — spacing the syrup two hours apart from those, and from other medicines, helps keep things simple.
