Sanostol Multivitamin, 780 ml Family Size, for ages 3 and over
This is the family size bottle of Sanostol Multi-Vitamin, the German multivitamin syrup taken as a single 10 ml spoonful a day. It carries nine vitamins, it is intended for children from 3 years as well as teenagers and adults, and at 780 ml it holds about 78 daily doses. It is a food supplement, not a medicine.
The 780 ml bottle exists for one reason: the dose does not change with age. A three-year-old, a fifteen-year-old and an adult all take the same 10 ml, so a household in which two or three people are taking it empties a 230 ml or 460 ml bottle quickly. This size is the one to buy when more than one person is on it, or when one child is on it for a long stretch.
The nine nutrients are vitamin A, vitamin D3, vitamin E, vitamin C, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, niacin and pantothenic acid. Each 10 ml spoonful delivers between 42 and 100 percent of the European reference amount for them, so one dose is a meaningful fraction of a day rather than a token. Vitamin D3 is the one at 100 percent.
What it is for is narrow and worth stating plainly. Sanostol is a vitamin supplement for children to use alongside food, not instead of it. The case for it is the stretch when a balanced, vitamin-rich diet is genuinely hard to maintain: a child who rejects whole categories of fruit and vegetables, or a stressful period where meals slip. With vitamins A, D, B6 and C it contributes to the normal function of the immune system, and the vitamin C in it also helps protect cells from oxidative stress, increases iron absorption, and contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
The taste is built on orange and grapefruit juice concentrates with orange oil, which is why it goes down more like a cordial than a supplement. This is the classic recipe and it is sweetened with sugar and glucose syrup. It does contain a malt extract made from BARLEY, so it is not suitable if you are avoiding gluten. The same syrup is sold in 230 ml and 460 ml bottles, there is a version without added sugar, and a separate Sanostol with iron exists for children from 6 years.

Who this bottle is and is not for
The age on this product is 3 years and over, and that is a floor set by the dose rather than by taste. One 10 ml spoonful is the same measure for a three-year-old, a fifteen-year-old and an adult, which is what makes it a single bottle a whole household can share.
This size in particular is for a household rather than for one child. At one dose a day it lasts about eleven weeks for a single person, which halves to about five and a half weeks for two and comes down to about four weeks for three. If only one reluctant eater in the family is taking it, the 460 ml bottle is usually the more sensible size, because an opened bottle of syrup is not meant to stand indefinitely.
It is not for under-threes. If you are looking for a vitamin for a one- or two-year-old, this is the wrong bottle and the dose does not simply scale down. Sanostol makes a separate preparation for children from 1 year, which is licensed as a medicine, dosed differently, and sold here as Multi-Sanostol Syrup 300 g.
If you need iron as well
This bottle contains no iron. Sanostol plus Iron is a different product with iron added, intended for children from 6 years, teenagers and adults, and often chosen during growth phases or on a vegetarian or vegan diet. It is sold here as Sanostol Multi-Vitamin Plus Iron, 460 ml.
Dosage and how to give it
Read this before the first spoonful
This product contains vitamin A. Pregnant women, and women in whom pregnancy cannot be ruled out, should consult their doctor before starting consumption. The recommended daily intake should not be exceeded. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of the reach of small children.
10 mlOne measuring spoon
Once a dayNot more
From 3 yearsMinimum age
78 daysOne 780 ml bottle, one person
1
Use the spoon in the pack
The dose is 10 ml, and the measuring spoon supplied is what makes that 10 ml. A kitchen teaspoon is roughly 5 ml, so measuring by eye is the easiest way to get this wrong in either direction.
2
One dose a day, and only one
Children from 3 years, adolescents and adults all take 10 ml daily. There is no second dose and no larger dose for an adult. The recommended daily intake should not be exceeded.
3
Pick a time and keep it
Any time of day works. A supplement only does anything if it is taken consistently, so attaching it to a fixed daily point, usually breakfast, is worth more than the timing itself.
4
Give it straight or stirred in
It is a syrup and can be taken directly from the spoon. If that is a fight, it stirs into a drink or onto food without a problem.
5
Close it and keep it cool
Re-close the bottle after each dose and keep it away from heat, direct sunlight and damp. A bottle this size stays in use for weeks, so where it is kept matters more than with a small one. Store it out of reach of small children.
6
Stop and ask if in doubt
If you are pregnant or might be, speak to your doctor before starting, because of the vitamin A. The same applies if your child is already taking another supplement containing vitamin A or D.
Daily amount by age
| Who | Daily amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Children from 3 years | 10 ml | One measuring spoon, once a day |
| Adolescents | 10 ml | Same dose as a young child |
| Adults | 10 ml | Same dose again, which is why this size exists |
| Children under 3 years | Not this product | See Multi-Sanostol Syrup 300 g, dosed from 1 year |
Do not exceed one 10 ml spoonful a day. This matters more than it does with most supplements, because vitamin A accumulates in the body. If your child takes another product containing vitamin A or vitamin D, check the combined amount with your doctor or pharmacist before giving both.
The nine vitamins, and how much is in a spoonful
These are the amounts in one 10 ml dose, with each shown as a percentage of the European daily reference amount. Vitamin D3 is the only one at 100 percent; the rest sit between 42 and 75 percent, which is the shape of a supplement designed to top a diet up rather than to replace it.
| Nutrient | In 10 ml | % of reference amount |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin A | 600 µg RE | 75% |
| Vitamin D3 | 5 µg | 100% |
| Vitamin E | 5 mg α-TE | 42% |
| Vitamin C | 60 mg | 75% |
| Vitamin B1 | 0.6 mg | 55% |
| Vitamin B2 | 0.8 mg | 57% |
| Vitamin B6 | 0.7 mg | 50% |
| Niacin | 9 mg NE | 56% |
| Pantothenic acid | 4 mg | 66.6% |
Reference amounts are those of the Food Information Ordinance, as stated on this product. RE is retinol equivalent, TE is tocopherol equivalent and NE is niacin equivalent.
What the label says these do
Four of the nine carry the immune claim: vitamins A, D, B6 and C contribute to the normal function of the immune system. Vitamin C does three further things that are worth knowing about, because they are the reason it is the largest single addition at 60 mg a dose: it helps protect cells from oxidative stress, it increases the absorption of iron from food, and it contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
The remaining nutrients are listed above with their amounts, without function statements, because this product's own label does not make any for them. No claim is made here that the syrup prevents, treats or shortens any illness, infection or cold.
Allergen and what to check
Contains BARLEY, and therefore gluten
Sanostol Multi-Vitamin is made with a malt extract from BARLEY. Barley is a gluten-bearing cereal, so this syrup is not suitable on a gluten-free diet. No gluten-free, lactose-free, vegan or vegetarian claim is made for this product.
Three things in the panel are worth knowing before you buy. The first is the barley-derived malt extract above. The second is that this is the classic recipe, sweetened with sugar and glucose syrup, which are the first and third ingredients; the without added sugar version is a different bottle. The third is that the flavour base is fruit juice concentrate rather than an added flavouring: orange juice concentrate and grapefruit juice concentrate, with orange oil.

- Measuring spoon included
- One dose a day, from 3 years

- A food supplement, not a medicine
Check the label on the bottle you receive before first use, and keep to the dose printed on it if it differs from anything here.
How many doses a 780 ml bottle holds
A syrup dosed once a day is easy to plan, because the arithmetic is one division. This is the largest bottle Sanostol makes of this syrup.
| Bottle | Daily dose | Arithmetic | Daily doses | Roughly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 780 ml, this one | 10 ml | 780 ÷ 10 | 78 | 11 weeks |
| 460 ml | 10 ml | 460 ÷ 10 | 46 | 6 and a half weeks |
| 230 ml | 10 ml | 230 ÷ 10 | 23 | 3 weeks |
How long it lasts with more than one person on it
| People taking it | Syrup used per day | Arithmetic | Bottle lasts |
|---|---|---|---|
| One | 10 ml | 780 ÷ 10 | 78 days |
| Two | 20 ml | 780 ÷ 20 | 39 days |
| Three | 30 ml | 780 ÷ 30 | 26 days |
Doses are calculated from the stated 10 ml daily amount and the bottle volume. This product's own page does not state a shelf life after opening, so follow the date and the opened storage note printed on your bottle. That is worth attention on a bottle this size, because it stays in use for weeks.
A note on the packaging: the outer carton on this product sometimes arrives dented from transport. The bottle inside is unaffected.

Frequently asked questions
How much Sanostol do I give, and how often?
10 ml once a day, measured with the spoon supplied in the pack. That is the dose for children from 3 years, for adolescents and for adults alike. The recommended daily intake should not be exceeded.
How many doses are in the 780 ml bottle?
78, at one 10 ml dose a day, which is about eleven weeks for one person. Two people sharing it empty it in about 39 days and three in about 26.
From what age can it be taken?
From 3 years. It is not intended for younger children and the dose does not scale down. For a child from 1 year, Sanostol makes a separate preparation, Multi-Sanostol Syrup, which is licensed as a medicine.
Is this the same syrup as the smaller bottles?
Yes. Sanostol Multi-Vitamin is made in 230 ml, 460 ml and 780 ml, and the recipe and the 10 ml dose are the same in all three. This is simply the largest bottle.
Is this a medicine?
No. Sanostol Multi-Vitamin is a food supplement. Multi-Sanostol Syrup is the one in the range that is licensed as a medicine for children from 1 year, and it is a different product with a different dose.
Does it contain gluten?
Yes. It is made with a malt extract from BARLEY, which is a gluten-bearing cereal, so it is not suitable on a gluten-free diet.
Can I take it while pregnant?
The product contains vitamin A, and the label states that pregnant women, and women in whom pregnancy cannot be ruled out, should consult their doctor before starting consumption. Ask your doctor rather than starting it.
Will it stop my child catching colds?
No such claim is made for it. What the label supports is that vitamins A, D, B6 and C contribute to the normal function of the immune system, and that the vitamin C in it helps protect cells from oxidative stress, increases iron absorption and contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Nothing beyond that is claimed here.

Written from this product's own nutrition table, dosage and warning text, which it shares with the rest of the classic Sanostol Multi-Vitamin range. The ingredient panel is the manufacturer's own published list for the classic Sanostol Multi-Vitamine. The 780 ml pack size and the 3-year age are taken from the product itself, and the dose counts are arithmetic on the stated 10 ml daily amount. The previous version of this listing said the syrup ensures the body can better defend itself against pathogens; that goes beyond the authorised wording and has been replaced with the label's own claims.
