What herbs can kids take?

Many herbs are appropriate for use with kids, under supervision of an adult. If you don’t know where to start, we have a line of 12 products, each formulated just for kids, with use instructions on each bottle.

The serving sizes on our Kids products are based on body weight. The entire line was formulated to taste good, too. They are alcohol-free†, and we used naturally sweet glycerin to extract the herbs’ constituents.

When it comes to herbs beyond those in our Kids line, recommendations for use with children can vary. The main differences are generally the serving size amount and the appropriate minimum age for using an herb.

If you have a specific product in mind, please contact our customer service team at 1-800-348-4372 or sales@herb-pharm.com for the age guidelines and suggested use for children.
