Why Autumn & Winter = Extra Immune Support
Crunchy leaves, cosy jumpers, and hot chocolates by the fire — autumn has a lot to love. But it also brings the less-fun stuff: colds, coughs, and endless tissues. Children, with their still-developing immune systems, are especially prone to picking up bugs during the colder months.
That’s why more parents are turning to immunity gummies for children to help their little ones stay strong, healthy, and ready to enjoy the season — without missing out on all the fun.
💡 Fun fact: The average child catches 6–8 colds per year, most of them between October and March.
Why Kids Need Extra Immune Support in Cold Weather
There are three big reasons why autumn and winter hit harder:
-
Less sunshine = less Vitamin D
In the UK, the NHS recommends everyone supplements vitamin D between October and March. It’s crucial for bone health and immunity. -
More time indoors
With playgrounds swapped for playrooms, germs spread faster in close contact. -
Seasonal dips in energy and mood
Dark mornings and shorter days can make children feel sluggish, which can affect their resilience too.
That’s why it’s worth making immune health a family priority when the seasons change.
The Immune-Boosting Nutrients to Look For
When choosing family gummy vitamins that support immunity, keep an eye out for these superheroes:
-
Vitamin C: Helps white blood cells fight off infections.
-
Vitamin D: NHS-backed and vital for strong bones and immune defence.
-
Zinc: Speeds up recovery from colds and helps wounds heal.
-
Iron: Supports energy levels and strengthens the body’s natural defences.
💡 Fun fact: Vitamin C can’t be stored in the body — we need a fresh supply every single day.
Why Gummies Work Better Than Tablets
Getting kids to take a supplement can feel like a daily battle. But with gummies, it’s more of a treat than a chore:
-
Taste they enjoy = no more battles at breakfast.
-
One tub for everyone = kids and parents can share.
-
Routine-friendly = easier to remember when it feels like a snack.
💡 Fun fact: Kids are up to 70% more likely to stick with a supplement if it comes in gummy form instead of tablets or syrups.

Evening wind-down: Take them alongside brushing teeth to make it part of bedtime.
