Zinplex Junior Vitamin C, D3 and Zinc Immune Booster Syrup

The Zinplex Junior Vitamin C, D3 and Zinc Immune Booster Syrup is a sugar-free complementary health supplement formulated for children aged 1 to 12 years. It combines vitamin C, elemental zinc and vitamin D3 in a once-daily berry-flavoured syrup, giving you a simple way to add these three nutrients to your child's routine. It is intended to support normal immune function and general health, and is taken with food.

Beyond immune support, the formulation is designed to support the development and maintenance of bones and teeth, connective tissue formation, wound healing, and the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It comes in a 200 ml bottle, is NAPPI coded, and uses xylitol and sorbitol rather than sugar, which can make daily dosing a little easier if you're watching sugar intake.

Key Ingredients

How to Use

Give with food, at the same time each day for best results. Give the syrup two hours before or two hours after other medicines, and do not exceed the recommended dose.

Dosage by age (once daily):

• Children 1 to 3 years: 5 ml
• Children 4 to 8 years: 10 ml
• Children 9 to 12 years: 12.5 ml

Or use as prescribed by a healthcare professional. If you miss a dose, do not give a double dose — simply continue with the next scheduled dose as usual.

Best For

The Zinplex Junior Vitamin C, D3 and Zinc Immune Booster Syrup is a good option for parents who:

• Want a single once-daily syrup that combines vitamin C, zinc and vitamin D3
• Have a child between 1 and 12 years old
• Prefer a sugar-free, berry-flavoured format for easier daily dosing

It may not be the right fit if your child is allergic or hypersensitive to zinc, vitamin C, vitamin D, or any other ingredient in the syrup, or if they already take another vitamin or mineral supplement — combining supplements may lead to excessive nutrient intake.

Disclaimer

Health supplements should not replace a balanced diet. Use only at the recommended dose, and do not exceed it. Consult a healthcare professional before use if your child takes prescription medicine, uses another vitamin or mineral supplement, has a chronic medical condition, kidney disease, abnormal calcium levels, or a known allergy to any ingredient. Zinc absorption may be reduced when taken with calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus-containing or milk-containing products, and zinc may reduce copper absorption; zinc may also affect certain antibiotics and other medicines, so separate this supplement from other medicines by at least two hours unless otherwise advised. Possible side effects include heartburn, headache, abdominal cramps, diarrhoea, metallic taste, nausea, vomiting and oesophageal irritation. Stop use and seek urgent medical attention if your child develops swelling of the hands, feet, ankles, face, lips, mouth or throat, difficulty swallowing or breathing, rash, severe itching or fainting, as these may indicate a serious allergic reaction. Store at or below 25°C in a cool, dry place, keep the container tightly closed, protect from light and moisture, and keep out of reach of children. Do not use after the expiry date printed on the carton or bottle.

Pandylane Pro Tip: Because zinc absorption can be affected by milk and by calcium, iron and magnesium supplements, it helps to plan your child's dose around meals and any other supplements rather than giving everything at once.
