    Yes Ive heard elderberry to be good for the immune system. It sounds like you are already taking all of the right things.

    I would also add some high strength garlic capsules especially during winter months.

    For your 6 year old just make sure they are eating a healthy balanced diet and you could always get them a multivitamin to take. In the winter the most important one to take would be Vitamin D for the both of you.

      I get my garlic from Holland and Barrett are you UK?

      I know what you mean about having a fussy eater. I have two like that. Try not to worry about your little one getting it. Most children have it very mild or asymptomatically.
