KIDS IMMUNITY

Supporting a child's natural defenses: how to act gently

The arrival of autumn brings with it the magic of golden leaves… and often also the return of minor colds, runny noses and recurring coughs.
For many parents, these episodes are a normal part of life: the child's body learns to defend itself. But there are simple and natural ways to support their immune system without overdoing it or resorting to excessive medication.

At Pioupiou Cosmetics , we believe in a holistic approach: a healthy lifestyle, a gentle environment and appropriate nutrition can make all the difference.
It is in this spirit that Kids Immunity was born, a Swiss food supplement formulated to support children's natural defenses, even without vitamin D , thanks to a synergy of essential active ingredients.

💛 Why children are more susceptible to seasonal viruses

The immune system of toddlers is still developing.
Between living in a group (nursery, school), fatigue, temperature changes or sometimes disturbed sleep, the body has to learn to react to the many viruses and bacteria encountered every day.

➡️ This process is normal: each exposure helps the body to “memorize” its immune responses.
But certain periods – autumn, winter, seasonal changes – require additional support, especially when fatigue or loss of appetite sets in.

🍊 Key nutrients to support the immune system

Without seeking a miracle solution, science has demonstrated that certain micronutrients play an essential role in the functioning of the immune system :

  • Vitamin C : contributes to the normal function of the immune system and helps protect cells against oxidative stress.
  • Zinc : contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes, the body's first line of defense.
  • Vitamin B12 : contributes to normal red blood cell formation, normal energy metabolism and normal function of the immune system; it also helps reduce fatigue.
  • Selenium : also contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells against oxidative stress.
  • Iodine and Magnesium : support growth, vitality and energy metabolism.

➡️ These nutrients act in synergy : a balanced and regular intake helps the child's body to better defend itself naturally, without artificial stimulation.

🧡 Kids Immunity: a gentle and complete formula, without vitamin D

Unlike many “immunity” products on the market, Kids Immunity does not contain vitamin D.
Why? Because most Swiss families already receive specific recommendations for vitamin D supplementation from their pediatrician. Pioupiou has therefore chosen to allow families the freedom to adapt this intake individually , while also strengthening other essential pillars of immunity.

👉 Kids Immunity partners with:

  • Natural vitamin C (acerola) for gentle antioxidant protection.
  • Zinc and selenium , key minerals for immune defenses.
  • Vitamin B12 , for energy, blood formation and resistance.
  • Iodine , for growth and proper cognitive development.
  • Magnesium and copper , for general balance and vitality.

Each tablet has been designed to be easy to swallow and well tolerated , with a delicious light taste and a vegan composition, without artificial colors or flavors.
Made in Switzerland, it meets the strictest requirements for quality and traceability.

🌱 Create a natural daily immunity routine

Supplements can never replace the foundations of a healthy lifestyle:
They provide support , at the heart of a simple and balanced routine .

A few gentle actions to incorporate every day:

  • 🌤 Going outside in natural light : even without direct sunlight, this supports circadian balance and good mood.

  • 🥦 Vary your meals : colorful fruits, seasonal vegetables, whole grains, natural sources of iron and zinc.

  • 😴 Pay attention to sleep : a well-rested child gets sick less often.

  • 💧 Hydrate and soothe : warm drinks, gentle baths with Pioupiou Cleansing Gel for comfort.

  • 🍇 Providing the right nutrients : a little vitamin boost with Kids Immunity, especially in winter or during periods of fatigue.

This holistic approach makes all the difference: prevent without excess, strengthen gently .

🕒 When and how to donate Kids Immunity

Kids Immunity is recommended from 3 years old , at a dose of 1 tablet per day (and up to 4 depending on age), to be taken morning or evening.
For younger children, the tablet can be crushed, chewed or dissolved in a little water or applesauce.

💬 Tip: To encourage regularity, associate taking it with a small daily ritual – for example, at breakfast time or just before leaving for school.

And because every child is unique, don't hesitate to ask your pediatrician for advice on any specific questions (especially if another supplement is already being taken).

💫 Key takeaways

Strengthening a child's immune system does not mean "stimulating" their body, but supporting them in their learning.
A little common sense, a varied diet, rest, time spent outdoors and natural support, like Kids Immunity , are often enough to get through the cold season more serenely.

At Pioupiou, we believe in a respectful and caring approach: helping the body do its job, while gently providing what it needs, at the right time. 🌿
