Summer may still be in full swing, but let’s face it—back-to-school season is right around the corner. And while fresh backpacks and new school routines are exciting, there’s one part of the season no one likes to talk about: the germs.
If your child is starting preschool, heading to a new school, or just getting back into the classroom, they’re going to get exposed to all kinds of bugs. It’s just part of life. But that doesn’t mean you can’t prepare.
Start boosting their immune system now—and don’t forget about your own! Because when they get sick, chances are they’ll bring it home, and the last thing you want is to be down for the count right after they are. Missing work on top of them missing school? Nobody has time for that.
Our Favorite Immune Support for Kids
In our office and at home, we love:
Children’s Immune – A gentle, daily immune support chewable containing Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Zinc, Prebiotic’ 2’-FL, and bovine colostrum. These chewables draw flavors from elderberry and whole strawberry.
Cod Liver Oil Softgels – Yes, it’s fish oil, but my kids call them their “squishies” and actually look forward to taking them! Cod liver oil provides vitamins A and D for immune support.
What About Adults?
When kids get back to school, they don’t just bring home homework—they bring home germs. And if you’re not supporting your own immune system, chances are you’ll catch whatever they bring back.
As a parent, you don’t have time to get sick. Missing work for your child’s sick days is hard enough—but missing extra days when you get sick too? That’s when it really starts to pile up.
That’s why it’s just as important to strengthen your immune system now, not just your child’s. Prevention is key.
Here’s what we recommend:
Immuplex – A comprehensive immune system and multivitamin formula designed for adults. It provides foundational support by combining vitamins A, C and E with vitamin B12, folic acid, zinc, copper, iron, and selenium to keep your defenses strong all season long.
For When Sickness Strikes
Even with the best prevention, sometimes getting sick is unavoidable. That’s why it’s smart to have Congaplex on hand. It’s a short-term immune system booster packed with support like calcium, vitamin C, and other nutrients to help your body fight off invaders quickly.
Congaplex Chewables – Great for kids or adults.
Congaplex Capsules – Perfect for adults or older kids who can swallow pills.
