Children's Daytime Cough Syrup + Mucus Natural Mixed Berry Flavor
About This Product
Zarbee's Children's Daytime Cough Syrup + Mucus is an Herbal & Botanical product formulated for children. It contains 25 mg of Black Elderberry Fruit Extract and 18 mg of English Ivy Leaf Extract, ingredients traditionally used for cough and cold symptoms. The product also includes 1.7 mg of Zinc per serving, which is considered underdosed compared to typical recommendations for immune support in children. With a total of 6 ingredients and 100% label transparency, the product clearly lists its components. However, its N+ Score of 57 and an 'F' grade suggest that the ingredient adequacy for its intended purpose is low, with no ingredients reaching clinically studied dosages. This syrup may be considered by parents seeking a natural-based option for children's cough relief, but should be noted for its underdosed zinc and lack of clinically dosed active ingredients.
