It can be hard to tell which products to trust, how to decipher labels and evaluate various product claims, and how to know if a product is appropriate for children. In view of this, author Dr. Bob Sears teamed up with Bionorica to develop insightful tips for selecting natural health products for children. Here’s a sampling:
Meets Standards
Look for products made to pharmaceutical grade standards, such as those developed by companies in Europe, where clinically proven plant-based remedies have been used successfully for many decades.
Check out the manufacturer
Go to their website and search for additional information about the company and the product. Also “Google” the company and its products to see if there are any reports of side effects or product recalls.
Read the ingredients
Watch for potentially harmful substances, such as stimulants, codeine, narcotics, steroids, ephedra or pseudoephedrine.
