Did you know that adequate levels of Vitamin D (the “sunshine” vitamin) support a healthy immune system? But if you haven’t been getting enough sunshine on your skin, you should supplement! It may be the perfect extra support to prevent that next cold or flu. Scientists have shown that a lower Vitamin D level correlates to higher susceptibility of getting an upper respiratory infection. Here’s what we’re using:
– Liposomal D Supreme
– superior absorption — liposomal delivery system absorbs into bloodstream directly in your mouth
– combines Vitamin D with Vitamin K — supports healthy bones and calcium balance
– bypasses the digestive tract — so is preferable if you have digestive issues
– Buffered Vitamin C (pill form or powder!)
– the buffered form is absorbed quicker and is easier on the digestive tract
– helps to recover from a cold more quickly
– prevents flu and other viruses when taken 1000-2000mg per day
-studies show higher doses break up mucus in the lungs
