I agree with others here- it is important to support the system with Vitamin C especially in the winter when we naturally eat less citrus. Good job!

Tis podcast is impressive. So much good info. I want to mention how impressed I am with your store staff. I asked some questions on a recent visit, about Arnica and the amount of knowledge they shared was brilliant!

Multivitamin support is a very good way to balance out wellness-nutrition. Washing hands of course is the easiest way to help each other reduce the spread of viruses.

My kids are crazy about the 365 gummy vitamins! Good thing to, they tried Flintstone Chewibles and actually contracted a big rash form the food die.

I grew up with ginger tea being served to my brothers and sisters, even in the summer. I carry on this tradition. Not to say this is the only reason, for our good fortune and health, but I do believe it helps!

I appreciate the mention of simple action steps like washing hands, and taking vitamins. The healthier the herd, the better for all.

I can't say enough about Vitamin C. For young ones under 3 there is a great C+ cold formula which my girls really respond to, it is nothing short of amazing!

I am getting really excited for the Holidays, but dreading the flight, I guess I am a germ freak. I will be building up my immune system prior to flying this year.

I just did my sunday shopping and was impressed that your stores actually have hand wipes as you enter. Thanks for helping reduce germs passage!

Wash your hands, is such a catch phrase this season. Indeed the flue is brutal this year, glad you are providing some action steps!

I agree with the others here- Vitamin C is a great way to keep your system even. Immune systems are further supported with multis!

Elderberry! I didn't realize this was an actually, modern remedy. It seems like something the romantic poets would have taken for recreational purposes :)
