The Solution That Ended My 20-Year Struggle With Everyday Immunity*

In my 20s and 30s, I would get sick at least a few times a year. Like clockwork, a cold would knock me out for a few days. I used to pop a couple of fizzy packs with immune-centric ingredients when I started to feel awful—but by then, it was too little, too late. I didn't know I was missing some key, daily immune support tools. 

For one, as someone who has struggled with sleep for over 20 years, I'm very thoughtful about sleep fitness. My night routine, which is more sacred than my morning routine, involves the key pillars of sleep hygiene: My bedroom temperature is set at 67 degrees, I use blackout shades, and I'm very intentional about electronic shutdown every night.

I also try to front-load my healthy habits. For example, I stack my low-glycemic veggie intake and hydration at the beginning of the day (I drink three glasses before even leaving the house, to be exact).

What's more, I make time for experiences that fuel my soul and promote joy. For me, that looks like swimming with my daughter at the local pool before work in warmer months and sledding in the park during colder months. 

While each of these daily practices plays an important role in my well-being routine, I know they aren't quite enough to serve as an immunity shield. I'm also aware that my immune system has been artificially protected over the past year since I didn't see many people or do much traveling. 

Vitamin C, vitamin D3, and zinc bisglycinate are an immunity trifecta, with antioxidant and immunomodulatory actions in the body.*

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient, meaning our bodies can't produce it naturally, so we need it from other sources. As I've learned from lab work with my functional medicine doctor, I need some help with the absorption of this micronutrient—luckily, immune support+ uses a highly absorbed, water-soluble form of vitamin C.

Another important ingredient, vitamin D3, is an essential fat-soluble nutrient and versatile immunomodulator that we need daily—whether you are getting sunshine or not. And zinc bisglycinate is a high-quality, gentle, and bioavailable form of zinc (another essential micronutrient) to help protect our immune cells and their critical daily functions.* 

What about quercetin phytosome? We believe it's superior because this unique form, derived from Japanese pagoda tree flowers, enhances bioavailability. It's a plant-based powerhouse that has antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties, promoting a balanced immune response.* I definitely need more of that. 

This supplement also features beta-glucan, a plant-based fiber thought to "train" the body's innate immune cells to mount future responses.* After spending too much time away from germs over the past year, my immune system needs to get back to training—and this can certainly help.*
