Back to School Immune Support

New shoes, back to school outfits, school supplies, new teachers, seeing old friends…all the excitement of starting a new school year. For parents, there is an added layer of anxiety about all the germs they will encounter. I’m here to make that a little easier for you! I put together a list of things we use in our house to keep everyone healthy. Added bonus, they all taste great so my kids actually remind me that they need them.

B. Immune Propolis Throat Spray

“Bodyguard in a bottle” This throat spray is full of antioxidants, Vitamin C, zinc, iron, B vitamins, and over 300 beneficial compounds that make it amazing for the immune system. My kids spray morning and/or night to help keep them healthy.

Bee Propolis is the “defender of the hive.” Bees use it to line the walls of their hives to keep germs out, pretty cool!

Zinc & Elderberry Lozenges

Elderberries, Vitamin C, and zinc come together in these yummy lozenges to help protect you and your kiddos from germs.

Zinc helps the body make and active white blood cells, which are essential to fighting pathogens. It also helps protect our body from cellular damage.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C helps fight pathogens by sending neutrophils to the site of infection and killing microbes. It also protects tissue from being damages by the pathogen.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is important in the creation and functionality of our t-cells, which protect us against bacteria and disease.

Probiotics

A huge portion of our immune system lives in our gut. Our bacteria gets wiped out by the overuse of antibiotics, antibacterial soaps and sanitizers, and a diet full of sugar and grains. Keeping in trend, this probiotic tastes delicious, it’s like a pixie stick so your kids will make sure you give it to them daily.

Biocidin Throat Spray

Biocidin is a botanical blend that promotes a healthy immune response and supports the bodies response to stress. I use this spray nightly for myself, and at the first sign of illness for the kids.

Essential Oils

I diffuse OnGaurd nightly for my kids. doTERRA’s OnGuard protects against environmental and seasonal and is known for its positive effects on the immune system.
