HLC Child Natural Blackcurrant Flavor
HLC Child Natural Blackcurrant Flavor is a non-nutrient/non-botanical supplement within the vitamins and minerals category, likely a probiotic. It received an N+ Score of 36, earning an 'F' grade, signifying a poor quality assessment. The product contains two ingredients: Total Carbohydrates (1g, 1% DV) and a proprietary 'HLC Consortium.' The specific strains and colony-forming units (CFUs) for the probiotic components within the HLC Consortium are not disclosed. This lack of transparency regarding the active ingredients and their dosages makes it impossible to assess if they are present at clinically effective levels for children's gut health. Parents seeking specific, well-researched probiotic strains with transparent dosing for their children may find this product's labeling insufficient.
