Everyday Supplements for Beating Sickness
The only multivitamin I’ve taken that has made a positive difference. I’m hooked!
Optimal Prenatal — Seeking Health
I find this helpful for histamine flare ups and for improving digestion. It is helping clear away my springtime nasal stuffiness. Take the regular liver glow if you are not expecting.
LiverGlow Herbal Support 4oz | Mountain Meadow Herbs
I feel so refreshed with these electrolytes compared to other powdered varieties, and as a bonus they don’t have an overwhelming amount of citric acid that is hard on your teeth. A capful in your water bottle is all it takes to make a difference.
BodyBio, E-Lyte, 4 fl oz (118 ml)
While not an iron supplement necessarily, it promotes the absorption of iron. I find it helpful for regaining strength around menstrual cycles.
Herbal Iron Liquid Drops 4 oz | Mountain Meadow Herbs
Increase absorption of Vitamin C by using this high quality liquid form from MaryRuth’s.
MaryRuth's, Megadose Vitamin C Liposomal, Citrus + Vanilla, 7.6 fl oz (225 ml)
A kid friendly iron supplement in liquid form for absorption, to be taken with food.
MaryRuth's, Vegan Liquid Iron, For Ages 4+, Berry, 15.22 fl oz (450 ml)
Can’t sleep? Sore and achy? My husband reaches for the magnesium when he gets tight shoulder muscles and sore eyes from long days of work. I personally love adding threonate for anxiety or citrate for digestion or mono flare ups.
Seeking Health, Magnesium Malate Powder, 500 mg, 8.82 oz (250 g)
Omegas and DHA oxidize when combined with other multivitamins so should be taken separately. I especially appreciate the quality of this brand and take it along with my daily prenatal multivitamin.
Mom's Prenatal DHA+ Softgels
Chronic Illness
Helpful for filtering blood and getting over a lingering infection.
Codeage, Grass-Fed Beef Spleen, 180 Vegetable Capsules (500 mg per Capsule)
Grass fed thymus for thyroid support and assisting those tired adrenals during chronic illness.
Codeage, Grass Fed Beef Thymus, 180 Capsules
For when I feel the fatigue and swollen glands coming on again
Resveratrol 500mg Antioxidant Supplement 60 Caps
Excellent for blood filtering and especially supportive for chronic illness
Codeage Grass Fed Beef Spleen Supplement, 180 Caps
Supports thyroid during chronic infection, especially in EBV or Lymes
New Roots Herbal Grass-Fed Lamb Thymus 450mg
Seasonal Sickness and First Aid
Easily syncs to your phone for regular blood pressure monitoring at home. I used this to monitor regaining my blood balance after a medical emergency and found it easy to use and accurate.
Blood Pressure Monitors & Cuffs | Monitor at Home & Remotely
A good oil diffuser is helpful to clear sinus congestion and aid in a comfortable sleep. This one from Now comes in an ergonomic ceramic stone look.
NOW Foods, Solutions, Ceramic Stone Diffuser, 1 Diffuser
I like to keep two hot/cold packs on hand for migraine relief. A cold pack on the forehead, and a hot pack on the neck does wonders to fall asleep, have relief of pain, and feel more refreshed for experiencing migraines.
