3 Must Have Supplements For College Kids

I was thinking about the month ahead and what I want to write about my walk the other day.   This student sitting on the bench reading and sporting a shiny apple had me pause to capture the moment, and had me also thinking about how important well being is for this age group.

I’ve pondered this before. I think with two of my own this age, I can easily see that they don’t always make the best choices nutritionally

I have a long list of nutrients and herbs I think are beneficial for college students, but if I had to pick the three must haves, it would include:

A quality multi -vitamin. the ultimate daily dose of nutritional insurance

Vitamin C.  a lot of anti-oxidant bang for the buck, and when someone over does it uh, like every college kid we know – Vitamin C offers results.

Echinacea, MORE bang for your immune system buck – this take occasionally herb gets those white blood cells into kick butt over drive fast and a great little supplement took when virus, colds and seasonal allergies come on.

 

Try Echinacea For Seasonal Allergies

I adore echinacea flowers. Always have.

Their cone shaped centers completely intrigue me. The purple cone flower. How positively cool.

When our company launched it’s medicinal herbal line, Echinacea was top of the list.

I never knew that Echinacea was native to our country.

Europeans have been using echinacea as a natural immune booster for hundreds of years.

What took us so long?

I also never knew that it was for intermittent use vs daily consumption

I also didn’t understand that one Echinacea product could be better than another.

Early in my supplement taking days I was ill enough that rebuilding my immunity was going to be a long term project.

I often felt on the verge or getting a cold.

Ever feel that way?

This for me was when echinacea came to play.

If you are on the verge of a cold, flu, sore throat, cough,swollen glands, wounds, ulcers, bacterial infection, viral infection, fever,herpes, boils or skin eruptions ie: poison ivy or tonsilitis…

Echinacea can help you

This common and remarkably effective herb …

stimulates the body’s natural response
pumps up the immune response
promotes production of white blood cells
stops virus’s from duplicating
is anti-inflammatory
has anti-cancer properties
attacks foreign invaders

the above sourced from nutrition and you

Our high quality echinacea product can be swallowed, crushed into a tea or used as a lozenge for a sore throat.

My nutrition mentor describes echinacea this way:

there are these bad guys in the blood stream, the white blood cells job is to eat them, sometimes the white blood cells have a lot of eating to do.  Echinacea gives them ( the white blood cells ) little engines on their tails to move them a tad faster – this way they can manage and eat more of the bad guys

How’s that for scientific ?

Works for me!!

The brilliance of our company and it’s commitment to science and nature is their understanding that nature works synergistically. Anyone can put echinacea in a bottle, but can they standardize the extract so that it delivers an exact amount of valued herb each and every time?  Not all companies do that.  Ours does.

Do other companies look at other immune boosting minerals and herbs to see how they can assist the mighty echinacea ? You will find zinx, larch tree and elderberry and other juice extract in this product as well. Why?? Because it makes the echinacea perform better in the body.

The tree does not stand alone

Take Echinacea upon the tickle you might feel when something is coming on — take for no more than 7 days.  If you are under stress or know that seasonal allergies are pending,  add echinacea to your immune system building/ fighting team.

OK for Kids to take too.

For the products on the market everywhere that have added echinacea, especially products that one might consume daily.

Forget them, total marketing phoooey.

You just don’t take this herb daily and expect it to be valid in the body.
