One of the things that prevented children from taking echinacea in the past was its taste. ChildLife Essentials Echinacea is flavored with a natural, sweet, orange essential oil that kids will love. ChildLife Essentials Echinacea contains the two most potent, absorbable and bioavailable forms of echinacea: Echinacea angustifolia (root) and Echinacea purpurea (leaf & flower).
