I would suggest that children between 0 – 12 take Kidz Minerals. The Tissue salts creams are also wonderful to apply to babies skin, as the minerals can be absorbed this way.
Q. Is the strawberry flavouring in Kidz minerals natural?
A. Yes the flavour added to the Kidz minerals is certified natural.
Q. Why do you need to chew tissue salt tablets rather than swallow them?
A. Tissue Salts are absorbed into the body via the blood vessels in the mouth; holding the chewed tablets in the mouth for a few seconds before swallowing is useful. For infants crush the tablet with a little water and place the paste on their tongue.
Q. How do Tissue Salts differ from mineral supplements?
A. Tissue Salts differ from supplement minerals like calcium and magnesium as they are homeopathically prepared micro doses and are absorbed from the mouth directly into the blood, bypassing the gut. Mineral supplements can be taken with Tissues salts.
Q. Can I give Tissue Salts to my pets?
A. Yes, all the Schuessler Tissue Salts can be given to pets. The Tissue Salts can be crushed and added to the pet’s food or simply add 2 sprays to the pet’s water a few times per day making sure to change the water each time.
