Kids Immune Tincture
Why We Made It
We’re moms first. We’ve chased toddlers around the kitchen with a spoonful of something they swore they’d never swallow. We’ve read kids’ supplement labels that were basically candy with a vitamin sprinkle. And we wanted something better for our own kids: real mushrooms, real fruit, no alcohol, no artificial anything, and a dose that actually fits the size of the kid.
So we didn’t just shrink the grown-up formula. Immune Kids is its own recipe, built from the ground up for kids ages 2–17.
What Makes It Different
Made for Kids
A different formula from our adult Immune, with three ingredients chosen specifically for growing bodies.
Dosed by Age, No Math Required
The dropper is marked so you can measure 0.75, 1.25, or 2 mL without a calculator, a measuring spoon, or a second cup of coffee.
Alcohol-Free, Kid-Approved Taste
The alcohol used during extraction is removed. What’s left is a naturally sweet vegetable glycerin base with real raspberry. No burn, no bribes, no wrestling match.
Real Mushrooms
USDA Certified Organic fruiting body, the actual mushroom itself. Not mycelium grown on grain.
Three Ingredients, Three Jobs
Turkey tail carries beta-glucans your kid’s immune cells recognize.†¹ Elderberry brings antioxidant anthocyanins.†³ And acerola delivers whole-food vitamin C, which contributes to normal immune function.†⁴
Every Amount on the Label
Every ingredient and every amount on the label. No proprietary blends, ever. Formulated from scratch by three doctor moms.
What’s NOT in It
- No alcohol
- No mycelium grown on grain
- No artificial sweeteners
- No artificial colors or dyes
- No proprietary blends
- No ‘natural flavors’
- No junk
How to Use It
Two Ways to Use Immune Kids
Once daily by age. For extra support, twice daily for up to 7 days, or as directed by your child’s healthcare provider. Not for children under 2. The dropper is marked in 0.25 mL steps, so you can measure right off the barrel. Shake well first.
- Ages 2–3
- 0.75 mL · Three-quarters of one dropperful · About 80 days
- Ages 4–12
- 1.25 mL · One dropperful plus a quarter · About 48 days
- Ages 13–17
- 2 mL · Two full dropperfuls · 30 days
-
Every Day, All Year
Part of the routine, like brushing teeth (but way less arguing). Give your kid’s age-based amount once a day, straight from the dropper or stirred into juice, water, a smoothie, or yogurt. Steady beats sporadic, and the raspberry flavor makes “every day” a lot easier.†
-
Extra Support
For the stretches that ask more of little bodies: back-to-school season, holiday travel, the week of the big sleepover. Give the same age-based amount twice a day for up to 7 days in a row, then go back to once daily.

This isn’t just a supplement. It’s a whole cabinet.
Not that long ago, every home had one: mason jars of dried herbs, elderberry syrup on the shelf, a tincture on the windowsill, a remedy for whatever life threw at you. Somewhere along the way, that wisdom got lost.
Fringe Farmacy is how we’re bringing it back: time-tested plants and mushrooms, formulated from scratch by three doctor moms, third-party tested, and fully transparent. Immune Kids is the littlest jar on the shelf.
Meet the Farmacy
Grandma’s medicine cabinet, restocked
Yesterday’s Medicine
Long before gummy vitamins shaped like cartoon characters, grown-ups were already looking out for the little ones. A stripey shelf mushroom (it really does look like a turkey’s tail) was a staple in traditional Chinese and Japanese practice. Grandmas across Europe cooked dark elderberries into syrup and lined them up on the pantry shelf for the cooler months. And in the Caribbean, kids snacked on tiny, tart “Barbados cherries” straight off the tree.
Different families, different continents, same instinct: when the little ones needed backup, people reached for mushrooms and fruit.
Today’s Science
What’s new is that we can finally look under the hood. Researchers now study the specific compounds behind these traditions, like beta-glucans in turkey tail, anthocyanins in elderberry, and the naturally occurring vitamin C in acerola, and how they interact with the immune system.†
That’s why we use real mushrooms, real fruit, and age-based amounts. Instead of guessing what made it into the spoonful, you know exactly what your kid is getting.
Grandma had the elderberry syrup. We have the data.
Let’s Get Nerdy
The Science Behind It
What’s a growing immune system, anyway? Your kid’s immune system is basically in school too. It’s learning to recognize the world around it, one sandbox and science fair at a time, and a big share of it lives in the gut. The goal isn’t to “boost” it into overdrive. It’s to give it the everyday nutrition and support it needs to do its job while it grows.†
What’s in the formula (per 2 mL, 2 dropperfuls)
- Organic Turkey Tail Extract (Trametes versicolor, whole fruiting body): 300 mg
- Organic Elderberry Extract (Sambucus nigra, fruit): 450 mg
- Organic Acerola Extract (Malpighia glabra, fruit): 600 mg
Other ingredients: organic vegetable glycerin (flaxseed-derived), purified water, organic raspberry extract. Younger kids get proportionally less: about three-eighths of this amount for ages 2–3, and about five-eighths for ages 4–12.
Why these ingredients?
Turkey tail. The anchor mushroom, shared with our adult Immune. Its cell walls are built from beta-glucans, a pattern of sugar molecules immune cells have dedicated receptors to recognize.†¹ Some turkey tail compounds also reach the gut largely undigested, where beneficial bacteria ferment them. In a randomized trial in healthy adults, turkey tail shifted gut bacteria in ways consistent with a prebiotic effect.†² We use a gentle, kid-sized amount scaled by age.
Elderberry. A pantry staple across Europe and North America for generations. Its deep purple color comes from anthocyanins, antioxidant plant compounds.†³ It also happens to taste great with raspberry.
Acerola cherry. One of the most vitamin C-dense fruits on the planet: a single small acerola can carry more vitamin C than a whole orange.⁶ Vitamin C contributes to normal immune function, from supporting white blood cells to keeping the protective linings of the body healthy.†⁴ In a small study in healthy adults, vitamin C from acerola was absorbed about as well as vitamin C on its own.⁵ Because vitamin C in whole fruit varies with ripeness and harvest, we call acerola a whole-food source of naturally occurring vitamin C rather than promising a milligram number.
How does it work?
Three ingredients, three jobs: beta-glucans from turkey tail for immune sensing and a healthy gut, anthocyanins from elderberry for antioxidant support, and vitamin C from acerola for normal immune function.†
Why a different formula for kids?
Kids aren’t tiny adults. We left out reishi and astragalus, which are better suited to grown-ups, and built Immune Kids around three ingredients with long histories in family kitchens. Then we scaled the dose to three age groups, so a toddler and a teenager each get an amount that fits.
Why alcohol-free?
Alcohol is a great extraction solvent and a terrible thing to put in a kid’s juice cup. We use organic cane alcohol during extraction to capture compounds water leaves behind, then remove it completely from the finished tincture.
Full transparency
Immune Kids as a finished formula hasn’t been studied in its own clinical trial (yet), and most research on these ingredients has been done in adults. That’s why we keep the kids’ amounts conservative and scale them by age.

More questions? Contact support
Will my kid actually take it?
Our odds are good. It’s alcohol-free with a mild raspberry flavor and no bitter mushroom taste. Picky eaters can have it stirred into juice, water, a smoothie, or yogurt, and they’ll never know.
How much do I give?
It depends on age: 0.75 mL for ages 2–3, 1.25 mL for ages 4–12, and 2 mL (2 dropperfuls) for ages 13–17, once a day. The dropper is marked in 0.25 mL steps, so you can measure right off the barrel.
Every day or just during the school year?
Every day, all year. Steady beats sporadic. During busier stretches like back-to-school or holiday travel, you can give the same age-based amount twice a day for up to 7 days, then go back to once daily.
Can my toddler under 2 take it?
Not yet. Immune Kids is for ages 2–17. For little ones under 2, talk to your pediatric healthcare provider.
Who should check with a provider first?
Check with your child’s healthcare provider before starting Immune Kids if your child has an autoimmune condition, a mushroom, mold, or latex-fruit allergy, or another health condition; takes any medication (including immunosuppressants, blood thinners, or iron supplements); or is scheduled for surgery.
Can I take it too?
Grab your own bottle! Grown-ups 18+ should use Immune, our adult formula with turkey tail, reishi, astragalus, and elderberry.
