A kid-friendly gummy with 4mg Astaxanthin and 100mg Vitamin C, offering a tasty way for children to get antioxidant and immune support at a competitive price, though it contains added sugars.
Carlson Kid's Immune Boost Gummies are uniquely positioned for children, offering a palatable natural cherry flavor that encourages compliance. Each serving provides 4mg of Astaxanthin (Astaferm) alongside 100mg of Vitamin C, a powerful immune support nutrient. The gummy form, while appealing to children, does come with 3g of carbohydrates and 15 calories per serving, which is typical for gummy supplements. The price per serving at $0.40 is very competitive, especially considering the dual ingredients. Online reviews (74 reviews) are generally positive, highlighting its kid-friendliness and taste. Nutritionists appreciate the inclusion of both Astaxanthin for its antioxidant benefits and Vitamin C for immune system bolstering, but advise caution regarding added sugars in children's supplements.
- Kid-friendly gummy format for easy and enjoyable consumption
- Includes beneficial Vitamin C for enhanced immune support
- Very competitive price per serving, offering good value for a kids' supplement
- Provides a decent 4mg Astaxanthin dose suitable for children
- Contains added sugars (3g Total Carbohydrate, 15 Calories per serving), which might be a concern for some parents
- Gummy form might have slightly reduced ingredient stability over very long periods compared to softgels or capsules
- Less suitable for adults or those strictly avoiding all sugars
- Contains sugar; not suitable for individuals on strict sugar-restricted diets.

Categories
Astaxanthin 75.0
This product offers a standard 4mg astaxanthin dose in a highly palatable, kid-friendly gummy format. Its unique positioning for children and inclusion of Vitamin C makes it a strong, value-driven contender within its specialized niche of the Astaxanthin collection.
Goals
Skin Health 70.0
The combination of 4mg Astaxanthin and 100mg Vitamin C provides robust antioxidant support that can significantly benefit skin health, particularly in children where a milder approach is often sufficient to combat environmental stressors and promote healthy skin. The gummy format enhances compliance.
Anti-Inflammatory Support 65.0
Astaxanthin, even at a 4mg dose, provides systemic antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support beneficial for overall well-being and managing general inflammatory responses. The addition of Vitamin C further enhances this protective effect, making it a good choice for foundational anti-inflammatory needs in kids.
Vision Support 60.0
While 4mg of astaxanthin offers some general antioxidant protection for the eyes, this product is primarily formulated for immune support in children. It lacks the specific synergistic eye nutrients like lutein or zeaxanthin that are typically found in more dedicated vision supplements, limiting its specialization for this goal.
