When should Arkoroyal Junior be used to support the immune system?
Arkoroyal Junior Immune Support combines, in a single orange-flavored oral dose, 166 mg of freeze-dried royal jelly, five strains of probiotics, and vitamin D3. Three ingredients with distinct roles, all in one dose.
Vitamin D3 is the formula’s key benefit: a single dose provides the full recommended daily intake, and vitamin D supports the normal functioning of the immune system.
This same vitamin D helps maintain normal bones and teeth—a benefit commonly found in vitamins designed for children. Probiotics round out the formula: five strains of lactic acid bacteria, including lactobacilli and bifidobacteria. Royal jelly, the food of the queen bee, is included in freeze-dried form.
These single-dose packets are ideal for use during the winter and seasonal transitions: the start of the school year, the first cold snaps, and returning to group settings after vacation. The liquid texture and orange flavor make it easier for children who have trouble swallowing tablets to take them.
We recommend combining this with a daily nasal hygiene routine using the gentle Physiomer seawater spray. The supplement works through the diet; nasal irrigation, on the other hand, clears the nasal passages of secretions that accumulate through contact with other children. The two practices do not overlap and can be incorporated into the same morning routine.
How should you give these single-dose packets to your child?

Our Expert Advice on Arkoroyal Junior and the Immune System
Before giving the first single-dose packet, the most important consideration is the child’s allergy history, far more so than their age. A child who sneezes every spring or who has had eczema should not be given royal jelly without first consulting their doctor: this is the most crucial precaution on the list. The second precaution—which parents often overlook—is the vitamin D already prescribed by the pediatrician.
It’s tempting to refill the bottle every month. We prefer occasional courses of treatment, timed to coincide with periods when the child is under the most stress, rather than an automatic refill from November through March: this is where the precaution regarding repeated doses becomes especially important.
FAQ
Can I give my child Arkoroyal Immune Support Junior while they’re on antibiotics?
It is still possible to take it, provided you space it at least two hours apart from the antibiotic dose, so that the probiotics are not exposed to the medication at the same time. The doctor who prescribed the treatment is the person to consult if the child experiences digestive issues during the course of treatment.
Why does a light dusting of powder escape when opening Arkoroyal Défenses de l'Organisme Junior?
This is normal. The probiotics are stored as a powder in the cap, and their release into the solution creates a slight excess pressure that causes a small amount to escape when the cap is unscrewed. Shaking the bottle vigorously before opening allows the powder to mix with the liquid.
Does Arkoroyal Junior Immune Support contain 5 or 20 billion probiotics?
Both figures are correct, but they do not refer to the same thing. Twenty billion probiotics are used in the manufacturing process; since these live microorganisms naturally degrade over time, a minimum content of 5 billion active probiotics per single-dose serving is guaranteed until the end of the product’s shelf life.
