Safe to Consume and Helps Protect Children from the Effects of Extreme Weather, This Supplement Has Obtained BPOM Approval

The peak of the rainy season in Indonesia is predicted by the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) to occur until early February 2023. The recent extreme weather phenomena that have been affecting the country have had an impact on public health, especially children who are more vulnerable physically.

This is because the risk of children's immunity decreasing and the spread of viruses increasing. As a result, the right supplements are increasingly needed for children, such as Egoji Syrup. Good news, BPOM has issued a letter stating that Egoji Syrup is safe to consume. Egoji Syrup is one of the syrup products that has obtained permission from the Food and Drug Administration (BPOM) to be sold to the public.

Verified by BPOM

According to letter number B-PW.02.04.4.43.01.23.09 which was approved on January 1, 2023, BPOM has verified Egoji Syrup, "In order to protect the public from the potential risks of contamination of Ethylene Glycol and Diethylene Glycol in Traditional Medicine and Health Supplements products that use Polyethylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, Sorbitol, Glycerin or Glycerol as additives or solvents, and as an effort to ensure that traditional medicine and health supplements have been produced in accordance with established standards and requirements."

As is known, Indonesia was shaken by the discovery of hundreds of cases of acute kidney failure affecting the nation's children last year. The cause was children consuming cough syrup with chemical content exceeding the normal limit. This news has raised concerns for many Indonesian families.

Helps Maintain Children's Immune System

Now, available in grape and apple berry flavors, Egoji Syrup is a supplement that contains integrated multivitamins to help maintain children's immune system. In addition, Egoji Syrup can be consumed when sick, busy with activities, regularly going out, and during the recovery process after being unwell. This syrup product can be consumed by children aged two years and above, and it contains beneficial herbal ingredients for the body.

Egoji Syrup contains extracts of goji berry and black elderberry as dual antioxidants to enhance immunity, as well as echinacea purpurea and andrographis paniculata that normalize immune responses. This product contains a total of four herbal extracts and has various uses as follows:

• Helps improve body's resistance (echinacea, andrographis paniculata, goji berry, and black elderberry)

Complementary Composition of Its Benefits

Delving deeper, the four herbal extracts have complementary benefits. The first composition is goji berry, which contains various nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin C, iron, zeaxanthin, selenium, potassium, zinc, and copper. In addition, goji berry also contains specific high antioxidants (Lycium barbarum polysaccharides) that help protect the body from cell damage caused by free radicals.

The second composition is echinacea, a native plant of North America commonly used for therapeutic treatments. This plant has various functions such as lowering blood sugar levels, treating flu, maintaining immune system, anti-inflammatory properties, and preventing the spread of cancer.

The third element is andrographis paniculata, a type of leaf commonly found in tropical Asia and often used as an alternative medicine in various regions. It has significant benefits, including preventing inflammation and viruses, containing high antioxidants, lowering blood sugar levels, having natural diuretic effects, and preventing cancer.

Black elderberry is the last ingredient of Egoji Syrup, which has long been used by indigenous populations in America and Europe for its health benefits. This fruit is beneficial for fighting colds and coughs, helping with skin problems, maintaining cardiovascular health, and boosting immunity.

The Importance of Choosing Supplements with Complete Composition

According to Dr. Attila Dewanti, Sp.A (K), a pediatric specialist consultant at RSIA Brawijaya Antasari in Jakarta, supplements can help improve children's immune system. Children's bodies are more sensitive to viruses compared to adults, especially in the era of offline learning activities that have resumed. However, Dr. Attila emphasizes the importance of choosing supplements with a complete composition.

"We must choose supplements that are complete. Don't buy various supplements. Remember, children are sometimes difficult to persuade to take medicine, so we choose one with a complete composition. Choose those with natural ingredients. Natural ingredients are safer for little ones and can be taken continuously when needed," said Dr. Attila.

Syrup supplements that have obtained BPOM recommendations can be obtained at leading pharmacies throughout Indonesia and online through official stores on various marketplaces. This includes Egoji Syrup Appleberry 100ml priced at Rp72,150, which can be found on Shopee. So, don't neglect to maintain your child's immune system, especially in unpredictable weather, by providing the right supplements.
