Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 I bought echinacea for my son after reading all the posts about how good it is for winter colds and flu. Now, I found it in a regular store, and I bought the one that looked like it had the least ingredients in and the safest ones, and now I want to know two things: #1 is this brand and this formulation I bought, OK or anyone have heard of it: " YourLife " +Vitamin C Chewable Echinacea, 12.5 mg echinacea/30mg vitamin C. (per tablet) #2 It says 2 tablets twice daily, but doesn't give age dosage. What is the dosage for a 4.9 yo, 40 lb boy? Ingredients are: Dextrose, Ascorbic Acid, Natural Raspberry Flavor, Echinacea Purpurea Root Powder, Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide, Carmine. I know Dextrose could be one, and the flavor, also. But if anyone has heard of it, please can you tell me if it is ok to give my son for his bad cold? and in what dosage? Thank you in advance, Cristina-WA proud mom to 4.9 yo ASD, & 2.1 yo NT twins.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 One thing to be aware of with Echinacea is it is supposed to be to ward off colds and sickness. Also, it doesn't work for everyone. The two times I have tried it I got a SUPER bad cold with an ear infection. I was miserable. My mom can't take it because she has bad allergies. So allergies is something else you may want to consider.
