An immune supplement that gives you daily support*

There are many things we can do every day to support a robust immune system. An excellent way to cover your bases and make sure you’re getting enough immune supporting vitamins (and one time honored herb!) is with our Daily Immune Support*!
As its name implies, this supplement provides daily support with vitamins C, D3 and zinc plus astragalus, an herb traditionally used to aid in immune support.*
Meet the 4 main ingredients:
- Vitamin C - a water soluble vitamin that promotes immune health*
- Vitamin D3 - a vitamin that aids in immune function*
- Zinc - a mineral that promotes immune health, healthy tissue development and wound recovery*
- Organic Astragalus Root - Astragalus has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries to aid in immune support*
Immune-supporting supplements can be a valuable addition to your foundation of healthy lifestyle and nutrition habits.*
At the top of my list on the lifestyle front is making sleep a priority. Quality sleep is essential to a healthy immune system, and it all starts with “sleep hygiene”. Figure out a consistent time to go to bed each night, and stick to it. For me that bedtime is 10pm. Set up a bedtime routine that is unique to you and helps you wind down from the day. For example, I like to get off my computer at least an hour before bedtime (earlier if possible) and spend some time reading. I also add a few drops of lavender essential oil on my pillowcase.

And there is nothing more fundamental to immune support than the food that we eat. A change we can all make starting today is to increase our servings of fruits and vegetables. It’s a simple goal to reach for, and a worthy one. Aim for a wide variety (and colors!) of fruits and veggies. Fill up your fruit bowl and your vegetable drawer, and start making a daily salad or smoothie as an easy way to up your vegetable and fruit intake. (Give one of my favorites a try: Green Immune Smoothie!)
