What Is NeoLife Vita Guard Used For?
NeoLife Vita Guard is a chewable antioxidant food supplement for children, supplying vitamins A, C and E with zinc, selenium and two whole-food blends made from fruit and vegetable concentrates. Two tablets a day contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to the normal function of the immune system.
Parents use it as daily nutritional support for children whose meals are short on fruit and vegetables. Each bottle holds 120 chewable tablets, a 60-day supply for one child at the stated dose. NeoLife describes the product as supplying “a broad spectrum of whole food antioxidant nutrients to keep children’s cells healthy”. It sits in our children’s health range and in the wider NeoLife collection.
This is a dietary supplement, not a medicine. It is intended to support general health and wellbeing, not to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Recs-Medix Natural Solutions has been an authorised NeoLife distributor in Nigeria since 2017, with nationwide delivery and DHL Express shipping to the USA, UK, Canada, the EU and Australia.
What Antioxidant And Immune Support Does Vita Guard Provide?
Four of the five declared nutrients contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, and four contribute to the normal function of the immune system. The two-tablet daily dose supplies enough of each nutrient for those functions to apply.
Protection Of Cells From Oxidative Stress
Vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and selenium each contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin C also contributes to the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E, so the two work together rather than separately.
Immune Function
Vitamin A, vitamin C, zinc and selenium each contribute to the normal function of the immune system. All four are declared with an amount on the label rather than folded into an undeclared blend.
Other Nutrient Functions In This Formula
Vitamin C contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Zinc contributes to normal cognitive function, to normal DNA synthesis and to the process of cell division. Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and normal skin, and has a role in the process of cell specialisation.
What Are The Key Benefits Of NeoLife Vita Guard?
The main benefit of this kids antioxidant supplement is a focused nutrient panel in a chewable fruit-flavoured tablet: the antioxidant and immune nutrients found in fruit and vegetables, with no iron, no sucrose and no artificial colours.
- Vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and selenium, each contributing to the protection of cells from oxidative stress
- Vitamin A, vitamin C, zinc and selenium, each contributing to the normal function of the immune system
- Vitamin A declared as coming from beta carotene and other carotenoids rather than from preformed retinol
- A Carotenoid Blend at 150 mg and a Flavonoid Blend at 100 mg per daily dose, from fruit and vegetable concentrates and extracts

- No animal-derived ingredients
- 120 tablets, a 60-day supply for one child at 2 tablets daily
- NAFDAC registration number A7-1205
Results vary between individuals. A supplement supports a child’s diet and does not replace it.
What Is In NeoLife Vita Guard?
The formula has three parts: five declared vitamins and minerals, two whole-food blends, and the fruit-based sweeteners and flavouring that make the tablet chewable. Everything below is declared on the bottle.
The Carotenoid Blend
NeoLife’s exclusive Carotenoid Blend is supplied at 75 mg per tablet, 150 mg across the daily dose, and includes carrot extract with apricot, peach, strawberry and tomato concentrates.
The Flavonoid Blend
The exclusive Flavonoid Blend is supplied at 50 mg per tablet, 100 mg across the daily dose, and includes extracts of cranberry, green tea and mixed berry with lemon bioflavonoid complex and orange concentrate.
The Vitamins And Minerals
Vitamin A is declared as coming from beta carotene and other carotenoids. Vitamin E is declared with mixed tocopherols rather than as alpha-tocopherol alone. Across two tablets the formula supplies 60 mg of vitamin C, 7.5 mg of zinc and 20 µg of selenium, the selenium supplied as selenium yeast.
Sweeteners, Flavouring And Ingredient Questions
The tablets are sweetened only with fructose and fruit juice concentrates from grapes, oranges and apples, and flavoured with food-sourced fruit essence. They contain no artificial colours and no preservatives, and the bottle states that the product contains no animal-derived ingredients.

Supplement Facts
Amounts are shown per tablet as declared on the bottle, and per two-tablet daily dose as a calculated figure. The declared % NRV column is calculated for individuals 4 years and older.

|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin A (from beta carotene and other carotenoids) | 1250 IU | 47% | 2500 IU (750 µg RE) |
| Vitamin E (with mixed tocopherols) | 7.5 IU | 34% | 15 IU |
| Vitamin C | 30 mg | 30% | 60 mg |

| Carotenoid Blend | 75 mg | No NRV established | 150 mg |
| Flavonoid Blend | 50 mg | No NRV established | 100 mg |
Reference values behind a percentage column differ by market, so buyers outside Nigeria should compare the milligram and microgram amounts against their own. Against current EU and UK Nutrient Reference Values, the daily dose supplies 94% NRV vitamin A, 75% vitamin C, 75% zinc and 36% selenium.

How Do You Give NeoLife Vita Guard To A Child?
Give 2 chewable tablets daily with food, as directed on the label. Do not exceed 2 tablets a day. The tablets are chewed rather than swallowed whole, and are given under adult supervision.
At two tablets a day, a 120-tablet bottle lasts 60 days, so one bottle covers roughly two months for one child. Keeping to the same mealtime each day makes the routine easier to hold, and the supplement works alongside a diet that already includes fruit and vegetables rather than in place of one.
What Should You Check Before Giving Vita Guard To A Child?
Four points decide whether Vita Guard suits your child: whether the child can chew and swallow a tablet safely, the zinc amount against your child’s age, any other supplement the child already takes, and any medicine or medical condition. Speak to a doctor or pharmacist if any of them apply.
Chewing And Supervision
Give these tablets only to a child who can chew and swallow a tablet safely, stay with the child while they are taken, and close the bottle and put it out of reach afterwards. A tablet that tastes like sweets is one a child may try to take alone. Keep it out of reach of children, as the label directs. Because the tablets are sweet and chewed, keep them inside your child’s usual toothbrushing routine.
Zinc And Your Child’s Age
Two tablets supply 7.5 mg of zinc. The label’s percentage column is calculated for individuals 4 years and older, and NeoLife’s own guidance is that a child can start as soon as they are old enough to chew a tablet. The US Office of Dietary Supplements publishes tolerable upper intake levels for zinc from all sources that rise with age: 7 mg a day for ages 1 to 3, 12 mg for ages 4 to 8, 23 mg for ages 9 to 13 and 34 mg for ages 14 to 18. For a child under 4, the daily dose of this product sits above that level on its own. Ask your child’s doctor or pharmacist before starting, and give only the stated dose.
Other Supplements, Including Vita Squares
Check the label of anything else your child takes before adding this one. NeoLife Vita Squares supplies 7.5 mg of zinc and about 900 µg RE of vitamin A across its own daily dose, so a child taking both would receive 15 mg of zinc and about 1,650 µg RE of vitamin A a day. That zinc figure is above the published upper level for every age up to 9. Take both labels to a pharmacist before giving the two together.
Medicines And Existing Conditions
Speak to a doctor or pharmacist before giving Vita Guard to a child who takes prescription medicine, is being treated for any medical condition, or has been told to limit or supplement zinc, selenium or vitamin A. Stop the product and seek medical advice if any reaction develops after starting it.
Vita Guard Or Vita Squares — Which Does Your Child Need?
These are the two NeoLife chewables for children and they do different jobs. Vita Squares is a broad multivitamin covering 18 vitamins and minerals. Vita Guard is a focused antioxidant tablet built on fruit and vegetable concentrates. Most families choose one or the other rather than both.
| NeoLife Vita Guard | NeoLife Vita Squares | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Children’s antioxidant chewable | Children’s multivitamin chewable |
| Declared nutrients | Vitamins A, C and E, zinc, selenium | 18 vitamins and minerals, plus choline and inositol |
| Whole-food element | Carotenoid Blend and Flavonoid Blend from fruit and vegetable concentrates | Tre-En-En Grain Concentrates from wheat berries, rice bran and soya beans |
| Iron | None declared | 6 mg across the daily dose |
| Zinc per daily dose | 7.5 mg | 7.5 mg |
| Vitamin A per daily dose | 750 µg RE, from beta carotene and other carotenoids | About 900 µg RE |
| Allergen declaration | None on the label | Wheat and soya |
| Daily dose | 2 tablets with food | 3 tablets with food |
| Pack | 120 tablets, 60-day supply | 180 tablets, 60-day supply |
| NAFDAC number | A7-1205 | A7-1152 |
If you want one product covering the widest range of vitamins and minerals, that is Vita Squares. If you are shopping specifically for antioxidant and immune nutrients from fruit and vegetables, or you need a formula with no iron, that is Vita Guard. Giving both together doubles the zinc to 15 mg a day and raises combined vitamin A to about 1,650 µg RE, so ask your child’s doctor or pharmacist first.
Who Is NeoLife Vita Guard For?
The formula is built around the antioxidant nutrients in fruit and vegetables rather than around a specific condition, so it suits parents shopping for that one gap rather than for broad multivitamin cover. Suitability for any individual child, at any age, is a decision for that child’s doctor.
- Parents who want antioxidant and immune nutrient support for a child
- Children whose meals are light on fruit and vegetables
- Active children, and children in households where the diet is varied but narrow on produce
- Families who need a children’s formula with no iron
- Children who prefer a chewable tablet to a syrup or a capsule
- Households in Nigeria and abroad buying from an authorised NeoLife distributor
What NeoLife Vita Guard Does Not Do
- It is not a medicine and does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease
- It does not replace fruit and vegetables, and it is not a substitute for a varied diet
- It does not replace any medicine or treatment a doctor has prescribed
- It does not stop a child catching an infection, guarantee fewer sick days, raise a child’s IQ or slow ageing, and no timetable applies to any of the nutrient functions it supports
- It is not free from risk: the zinc in two tablets sits above the published upper intake level for a child under 4, and giving it alongside another zinc or vitamin A supplement raises intake further
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

How Do You Store It And Check You Have A Genuine Pack?
Store in a cool, dry place below 25°C, protect from light, close the cap firmly after every dose and keep out of reach of children. Every order arrives as one factory-sealed bottle of 120 chewable tablets in NeoLife’s own packaging, and four things identify it.
- NAFDAC Registration No. A7-1205 printed on the label
- The NeoLife Scientific Advisory Board mark on the front of the bottle
- “Made for NeoLife International Ltd., Lagos, Nigeria, by Natural Formulas, Hayward, CA, U.S.A.”
- Manufacture and expiry dates printed on the base of the container
Vita Guard is available exclusively from NeoLife distributors and is not sold in retail stores. That is NeoLife’s distribution model, and it is the reason to buy from an authorised distributor: Recs-Medix has held that position in Nigeria since 2017. Vita Guard is also used as a product name by other companies in other countries, so the NAFDAC number and the NeoLife branding are what identify the product on this page. A NAFDAC number registers the product for Nigeria and does not mean it has been assessed by the regulator in any other country, including the USA, Canada, the UK or the EU.
Why Buy NeoLife Vita Guard From Recs-Medix?
Ordering online takes a few minutes and the bottle is dispatched from our own stock, so you are buying a sealed pack from an authorised distributor rather than an unknown reseller.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of Vita Guard?
Two tablets a day supply vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and selenium, which each contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, and vitamin A, vitamin C, zinc and selenium, which each contribute to the normal function of the immune system. Alongside those nutrients the tablets supply 150 mg of a Carotenoid Blend and 100 mg of a Flavonoid Blend made from fruit and vegetable concentrates.
What is the function of NeoLife Vita Guard?
It is a children’s antioxidant food supplement. Its function is to supply the antioxidant and immune nutrients found in fruit and vegetables — vitamins A, C and E with zinc and selenium — in a chewable tablet, alongside whole-food carotenoid and flavonoid concentrates.
Is there a Vita Guard capsule?
NeoLife Vita Guard comes as a chewable tablet rather than a capsule. The bottle holds 120 chewable tablets and the dose is 2 tablets daily with food. The chewable format is deliberate: a young child who cannot swallow a capsule can still take it, and the tablet is given a distinct shape so it is not mistaken for an adult product.
What is the difference between Vita Guard and Vita Squares?
Vita Squares is a multivitamin covering 18 vitamins and minerals with iron, plus Tre-En-En Grain Concentrates from wheat and soya. Vita Guard is an antioxidant formula covering five nutrients with two fruit and vegetable blends, with no iron declared. Vita Squares is 3 tablets a day, Vita Guard is 2. The comparison table above sets out every difference side by side.
Can a child take Vita Guard and Vita Squares together?
That is a question for your child’s doctor or pharmacist, and it turns on the numbers. Each product supplies 7.5 mg of zinc across its daily dose, so both together supply 15 mg — above the published upper intake level of 12 mg a day for ages 4 to 8 and 7 mg a day for ages 1 to 3. Combined vitamin A would be about 1,650 µg RE a day.
At what age can a child take Vita Guard?
The bottle sets no minimum or maximum age. It gives one direction: 2 tablets daily with food. The percentage column is worked out against reference intakes for individuals 4 years and older, which describes how those percentages were calculated. NeoLife’s guidance is that a child can start as soon as they are old enough to chew a tablet. Two things decide it in practice: whether your child can chew and swallow a tablet safely, and the zinc amount against your child’s age, both of which are questions for your child’s doctor or paediatrician.
Can adults take Vita Guard?
The amounts are set for a child’s diet, and the product is formulated and sold as a children’s antioxidant chewable, so an adult looking for antioxidant support will find the adult formulas in the NeoLife range better matched to adult reference intakes. One further point for adults: EFSA assesses preformed vitamin A and beta carotene separately, and its 2024 opinion advises that people who smoke should avoid food supplements containing beta carotene.
Where can I buy genuine NeoLife Vita Guard, and do you ship internationally?
