Q: What is VacciShield?
A: VacciShield is a nutritional supplement for infants and children that helps support healthy brain, immune, gastrointestinal and detoxification function during vaccination. This unique blend of non-dairy probiotics, vitamins and minerals was specifically formulated for their ability to help meet the challenges and needs of growing children. VacciShield is a two-week supplementation surrounding vaccinations. It is intended for infants and children age six months through six years of age.
Q: Is VacciShield regulated by the FDA?
A: As a dietary supplement VacciShield's package labeling, ingredients and manufacturing quality are FDA regulated pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
Q: How many servings are in a bottle of VacciShield?
A: VacciShield is intended for infants and children ages 6 months to 6 years so the serving depends on the age of the child. For infants ages 6 months to 14 months the serving is one scoop each day for fourteen days which means one bottle of VacciShield contains three complete rounds of fourteen servings. For children ages 15 months to 3 years the serving is two scoops each day so one bottle of VacciShield contains one and a half full round of fourteen doses. Children ages 4 years to 6 years have a three scoop daily serving so one bottle of VacciShield contains one complete round of fourteen servings.
Q: Should I stop giving my child their daily multivitamin when doing the two week course of VacciShield?
A: There is no need to stop your child's daily multivitamin when using the two week course of daily VacciShield.
Q: Are there any allergens in VacciShield?
A: VacciShield has no gluten or dairy. We never use any fillers, binders, artificial colorings, flavorings or preservatives.
Q: What if I am not right on schedule by taking VacciShield ten days prior to the vaccination date?
A: VacciShield is intended for use around vaccinations. We recommend taking VacciShield ten days prior to vaccination for fourteen days. The ingredients of VacciShield were chosen to help support healthy brain, immune, gastrointestinal and detoxification function during vaccination so if you don't start at exactly ten days you will still receive health benefits.*
Q: How do I give my child VacciShield?
A: For infants, VacciShield should be mixed with 4 to 8 ounces of liquid. We recommend adding the daily serving to a bottle of breast milk or formula or soft food. Some infants and children have certain preferences so you can always adjust the amount of liquid or food added. VacciShield can also be added to a small amount of liquid and served through a dropper. For older children, VacciShield can be mixed with any soft food or with 8 or more ounces of any liquid desired.
Q: Are there any side effects to using VacciShield?
A: The ingredients in VacciShield were chosen based on research on their ability to support healthy immune, brain, gastrointestinal and detoxification function during vaccinations as well as their tolerance in infants and children. There are no known side effects from using VacciShield.
Q: I tasted the VacciShield powder and it was quite tart. Is this normal?
A: Yes, this is normal. One of the ingredients in VacciShield is Vitamin C, which in its natural form is tart. That's why we recommend mixing VacciShield with a flavored beverage rather than water. An all natural flavored drink mix is also in development and will soon be available for toddlers and children.
Q: How do I store VacciShield?
A: Store VacciShield in a cool, dry place and refrigerate after opening.
