These products might help you to support your immune system, keep yourself hydrated and healthy, and improve your sleep!
7 of Our Favorite Fall Products
Vitamin C – We have all heard time and time again the importance of Vitamin C in terms of immune support. Your body is not capable of producing Vitamin C, but it is crucial to your health and well-being. An adequate amount of Vitamin C in the body helps to protect you against viruses and disease, may help manage blood pressure, can help prevent iron deficiency, as well as boost your immune system function. These Garden of Life Vitamin C caps are a hit with Raw whole food Vitamin C (500mg) with bioflavonoids, blended in a base of 23 fruits and vegetables with live probiotics and enzymes.
Licorice – Did you know that licorice carries a plethora of health benefits? Licorice root is actually considered to be one of the oldest herbal remedies, the first known use was in ancient Egypt. In traditional Chinese and Middle Eastern practices, licorice root has been used in order to reduce inflammation, soothe upset stomachs, and treat various upper respiratory issues. In more modern practices licorice root is used to treat hot flashes, acid reflux, heartburn, coughs, and several bacterial/viral infections. Natural Factors offers a fantastic licorice supplement that we carry that has quickly become a staple in our store. Children and adults alike enjoy these chewable tablets. DGL improves the integrity of the natural mucosal lining of the stomach and intestinal walls. As always, check with your physician before taking any new supplements.
Probiotics – Gut health is trendy for all seasons, and we carry several probiotics in the store to help you manage your gut health needs! We carry both men’s and women’s probiotic supplements. Garden of Life is one of our favorite brands here at Simply Nutrition and we cannot recommend their products enough! Garden of Life products are USDA Organic, Non-GMO Verified, Certified Gluten-Free, Vegan, U Kosher, LEED Gold and Green-e Energy Certified. This means that these products are natural, high quality, without pesticides, and purely made.
Turmeric – Turmeric Inflammatory Response Gummy by myKind Organics are better tasting than you think, giving you apple pie vibes, and make you feel like you can tackle all those little aches and pains that accumulate over time. These gummies are formulated with fermented turmeric and wild ginger and made with Certified USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified real fruit. There are no harsh chemicals, corn alcohols, toxic pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides. If you deal with any inflammation issues, we highly recommend giving these gummies a try!
Coenzyme Q10 – CoQ10 is an antioxidant very similar to several vitamins that your body produces naturally. Your cells use CoQ10 in order to produce energy, grow and maintain cells and cell function. This antioxidant protects your heart and your muscles. CoQ10 is naturally present in small amounts in a wide variety of foods, but levels are particularly high in organ meats such as heart, liver, and kidney, as well as beef, sardines, mackerel, and peanuts. These CoQ10 softgels from Bluebonnet can give you a good dose without having to consume any of those meat products. Natural production of CoQ10 slows down as we age, so it’s a good idea to add foods high in CoQ10 or supplements to one’s diet, especially if you find yourself taking a statin drug to lower cholesterol. This Ubiquinol form is the active form of CoQ10 and highly bioavailable to your cells for absorption!
Elderberry – If you’ve got kiddos and you’re at all concerned about the fall season sniffles, give this Zand Elderberry Immune Blend a shot. These delicious Gummies give your children the added immune boost that they need! Some experts recommend elderberries to help prevent and ease cold and flu symptoms. These also provide a little bit of Zinc and Vitamin C for a well-rounded choice. Diet is huge in building your child’s immune system but having something like this on hand is always a good idea. Kids or adults, everyone loves this product!
Echinacea/Goldenseal – The last product we want to highlight today is our Echinacea Goldenseal capsules from Gaia Herbs. Today echinacea is best known as an over-the-counter remedy for cold and flu symptoms, however it can also help with discomfort due to inflammation, migraines, and chronic pain. Echinacea is high in antioxidants which defend your body against free radicals and oxidative stress. Echinacea offers a positive effect on your immune system, can lower your blood sugar, potentially reduce feelings of anxiety, and holds anti-inflammatory properties. And have you heard of Goldenseal? Today it is ranked as one of the most popular herbal remedies worldwide. Goldenseal is used to treat upper respiratory tract infections, colds, hay fever, sore gums, and digestive problems. The alkaloids in Goldenseal are linked to antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties found in the herb. This is a killer combination and that’s why we highly recommend these capsules, and why we carry them in our store.
