Sanostol Lozenges, 75 pieces, 90 g, a multivitamin with calcium for ages 4 and over
Sanostol Lozenges are the chewable form of the German Sanostol multivitamin: a lozenge you suck rather than a syrup you spoon. Each pack holds 75 tablets, 90 g. They carry twelve vitamins plus calcium, they are for children from 4 years as well as teenagers and adults, and they are a food supplement, not a medicine.
Two things make this the one to pick within the Sanostol range. The first is the format: for a child who has decided against the spoon, a tablet that fizzes faintly in the mouth is often the end of the argument. The second is the calcium, which the syrups do not contain. At 200 mg in a 2-tablet dose and 300 mg in a 3-tablet dose, it is the reason this product exists as something other than a syrup in a different shape.
The vitamin list is also longer than the syrup's nine. Alongside vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin C, the lozenges carry the full set of eight B vitamins: B1, B2, niacin, pantothenic acid, B6, biotin, folic acid and B12. Folic acid is the one that reaches 100 percent of the reference amount on a 2-tablet dose.
Who it is for is specific. Calcium and vitamin D together are needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and vitamin D is needed for the normal absorption and use of calcium. The usual dietary route to calcium is milk and dairy, so the case for these lozenges is the child or adult who does not drink milk, will not eat dairy, or is going through a stretch of refusing both.
The dose steps up once with age: 2 tablets a day from 4 to 7 years, and 3 tablets a day from 7 years, through adolescence and into adulthood. The tablets are sweetened with sorbitol and with aspartame and acesulfame K, which means they contain a source of phenylalanine, and that taking a lot more than the stated dose can have a laxative effect.

Who this pack is and is not for
The floor is 4 years, and with a lozenge that floor is about more than the dose. These are tablets to be sucked, and a child needs to be old enough to do that reliably rather than chew and swallow them in a hurry. Below 4 years the Sanostol range offers syrups instead, which is the right format for a toddler.
Within that, the clearest reason to choose the lozenges over a syrup is the calcium. If dairy is the gap in your family's diet rather than fruit and vegetables generally, this is the product in the range that addresses it, because none of the Sanostol syrups contains calcium at all.
The second reason is practical: a tablet travels. A blister or pack of lozenges goes in a bag in a way a 460 ml bottle of syrup does not, so for a child who is away at school, at a grandparent's or on a trip, the lozenges are simply easier to keep up with than a spoon at breakfast.
It is not a substitute for a varied diet, and the label says so. It is also not the product to add on top of another multivitamin: it contains vitamin A, which accumulates in the body, and vitamin D, so doubling up needs checking rather than assuming.
If you want the syrup instead, or a younger child needs one
The same brand's syrups start earlier and contain no calcium. Sanostol Multi-Vitamin, 460 ml is a food supplement from 3 years, and Multi-Sanostol Syrup, 300 g is licensed as a medicine and dosed from 1 year.
Dosage and how to take them
Read this before the first tablet
This product contains vitamin A. Pregnant women, and women who cannot rule out pregnancy, should consult their doctor before starting consumption. The recommended daily amount must 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.
Two further label notes matter here. The tablets contain a source of phenylalanine, because they are sweetened in part with aspartame. And they may have a laxative effect if eaten in excess, which is the sorbitol in them. Both are reasons to keep to the stated number of tablets.

3 tabletsDaily, 7 years and over
Suck, do not chewThey are lozenges
Keep dryAway from heat and light
1
Count out the day's tablets
Two for a child aged 4 to 7, three from 7 years upward. Counting them out at the start of the day is the simplest way to be sure the total is right, especially with a pack of 75 that everyone can reach.
2
Suck each one, do not chew it
These are lozenges and are meant to dissolve in the mouth. The faint fizz as they do is the citric acid and the sodium hydrogen carbonate in them reacting, which is normal and is part of why children take them.
3
Spread them across the day if you like
The label gives a daily total rather than a single dose time, so two or three tablets can be taken together or spread out. What matters is the daily number, not the spacing.
4
Keep to the number
Do not exceed the recommended daily amount. A sweet tablet in a pack of 75 is easy to treat as a sweet, and taken in excess the sorbitol in them can loosen the bowels.
5
Store the pack dry
Protect the tablets from heat, sunlight and moisture, and close the pack after use. A lozenge that has taken up damp will not dissolve the way it should.
6
Check before combining with anything else
If you are pregnant or might be, speak to your doctor before starting, because of the vitamin A. The same applies if the person taking them is already on another supplement containing vitamin A or vitamin D.
Daily amount by age
| Who | Tablets per day | Calcium per day | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Children from 4 to 7 years | 2 | 200 mg | Sucked, not chewed |
| Children from 7 years | 3 | 300 mg | The same as an adult dose |
| Adolescents and adults | 3 | 300 mg | One pack can serve a household |
| Children under 4 years | Not this product | - | Use one of the Sanostol syrups instead |
These are not sweets. Do not exceed 2 or 3 tablets a day. They contain a source of phenylalanine, they may have a laxative effect if eaten in excess, and they contain vitamin A, which accumulates in the body. Keep the pack out of the reach of small children, and check with your doctor or pharmacist before combining them with another product containing vitamin A or vitamin D.
The thirteen nutrients, and how much is in a dose
The label states amounts for 2 tablets, with the 3-tablet figures in brackets, which maps neatly onto the two age doses. Folic acid is the highest relative addition, at 100 percent of the reference amount on 2 tablets. Calcium is the largest by weight and the lowest by percentage, which is expected: a daily calcium requirement is large enough that no tablet covers it.
| Nutrient | 2 tablets, ages 4 to 7 | 3 tablets, 7 and over | % of reference, 2 and 3 tablets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin A | 533 µg RE | 800 µg RE | 67% and 100% |
| Vitamin D | 3.3 µg | 5.0 µg | 67% and 100% |
| Vitamin E | 6.7 mg α-TE | 10 mg α-TE | 56% and 83% |
| Vitamin C | 53 mg | 80 mg | 67% and 100% |
| Vitamin B1 | 0.67 mg | 1.0 mg | 61% and 91% |
| Vitamin B2 | 0.73 mg | 1.1 mg | 52% and 79% |
| Vitamin B6 | 0.46 mg | 0.70 mg | 33% and 50% |
| Vitamin B12 | 1.2 µg | 1.8 µg | 48% and 72% |
| Niacin | 8.0 mg NE | 12 mg NE | 50% and 75% |
| Pantothenic acid | 3.3 mg | 5.0 mg | 56% and 83% |
| Folic acid | 200 µg | 300 µg | 100% and 150% |
| Biotin | 13 µg | 20 µg | 27% and 40% |
| Calcium | 200 mg | 300 mg | 25% and 38% |
Amounts and percentages are those stated on this product. RE is retinol equivalent, TE is tocopherol equivalent and NE is niacin equivalent. The reference amounts are the European daily values used on food supplement labels.
What the label supports
Calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and vitamin D is needed for the normal absorption and use of calcium, which is why the two appear together in this product rather than separately. That pairing is the point of the formulation.
The other nutrients are listed above with their amounts and percentages, without function statements, because no further claim is made for them here. No claim is made that these lozenges prevent, treat or shorten any illness.
Sweeteners, phenylalanine and what to check
Contains a source of phenylalanine, and sorbitol
These lozenges are sweetened with sorbitol and with the sweeteners aspartame and acesulfame K. Aspartame is why the label states that the product contains a source of phenylalanine, which matters to anyone managing phenylketonuria. The sorbitol is why the label warns the tablets may have a laxative effect if consumed in excess.
No gluten-free, lactose-free, vegan or vegetarian claim is made for this product, and no allergen is declared in capital letters on the panel.
Two further things are worth noting before you buy. The calcium is delivered as calcium carbonate, with a little more arriving as calcium D-pantothenate, so this is a mineral-salt calcium rather than a dairy-derived one, which is what makes it useful to someone avoiding milk. And the fizz is deliberate: citric acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate sit next to each other near the top of the list.

How long a pack of 75 lasts
The arithmetic is one division, and the answer differs by age because the dose does.
| Who is taking them | Tablets per day | Arithmetic | Pack lasts | Roughly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A child aged 4 to 7 | 2 | 75 ÷ 2 | 37 days | 5 weeks |
| A child from 7, a teenager or an adult | 3 | 75 ÷ 3 | 25 days | 3 and a half weeks |
| Two people at 3 tablets each | 6 | 75 ÷ 6 | 12 days | Under 2 weeks |
Day counts are arithmetic on the 75-tablet pack and the stated daily amounts; Sanostol publishes no day count for the pack. The 90 g is the net weight of all 75 tablets together, not a dose figure.

Frequently asked questions
How many lozenges a day, and from what age?
From 4 years. Children aged 4 to 7 suck 2 tablets daily; children from 7 years, adolescents and adults take 3. The recommended daily amount must not be exceeded.
How much calcium do they provide?
200 mg on a 2-tablet dose and 300 mg on a 3-tablet dose, which is 25 and 38 percent of the European reference amount. The calcium comes as calcium carbonate, so it does not depend on milk or dairy.
How are these different from the Sanostol syrups?
Two ways. They are a lozenge rather than a spoonful, and they contain calcium and three further vitamins, B12, folic acid and biotin, that the syrups do not. The syrups, in turn, start at a younger age.
Why do they fizz in the mouth?
Citric acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate are both in the recipe and react as the lozenge dissolves. It is a deliberate part of the product rather than a fault.
Do they contain aspartame?
Yes. They are sweetened with sorbitol plus aspartame and acesulfame K, which is why the label states that they contain a source of phenylalanine.
How long does a pack of 75 last?
About 37 days for a child taking 2 a day, and about 25 days at 3 a day. The 90 g on the pack is the weight of all 75 tablets together, not a dose.
Can I take them while pregnant?
The product contains vitamin A, and the label directs pregnant women, and women who cannot rule out pregnancy, to consult their doctor before starting consumption. Ask your doctor rather than starting them.
Can a child under 4 have them?
No. The label starts at 4 years, and a lozenge needs to be sucked rather than chewed and swallowed, which is part of why. For a younger child, the Sanostol syrups are the right format.

Written from this product's own nutrition table, ingredient panel, dosage text and warnings as published for Sanostol Lutschtabletten, including the 75-tablet and 90 g pack figures and the phenylalanine and laxative notes. The 4-year age is taken from the product itself. Day counts are arithmetic on the 75-tablet pack and the stated daily amounts, and are identified as such. The previous version of this listing described the lozenges as a rich source of calcium and as supporting overall health and well-being; those are not claims this label carries, and they have been replaced by the stated amounts and the authorised calcium and vitamin D wording.
