It’s that time of year again. Kids are back to school, which means all of the little viruses will be flaring up. This is always the time of year where kids start to come down with more frequent colds. Of course, we’re still dealing with COVID, so we have to wonder what we should be doing in preparation for going back into school. It’s not just limited to kids. There are many people who have been working remotely who are now returning to the office environments. Oftentimes, people want to know what they should be doing when it comes to supporting their immune system each and every single day. Today, I want to highlight a couple of different options for you when it comes to the supplements you might need for back to school and back to work.† 

The back to school basics

Many parents are concerned about their children’s health as they go back to school. They wonder if they should be taking a multivitamin or Vitamin D? These are really good questions to be asking of yourselves.† 

The straight answer is that yes, this is something you should be doing every day regardless. But, in particular, since we know that we will be having more frequent interactions with people, we can look at taking in different nutrients that can really help to support and bolster up our immune system defenses.†

We can look at something like the Multi Energy Powder, which is a complete multivitamin, multimineral formulation that can easily be incorporated into school-age children’s daily routines, as well as for college students and even everyday people who are off to work. This is because this formulation is packed with all of these powerful antioxidants.†

Important nutrients for immunity

Taking a multivitamin, multimineral supplement is just one step in supporting the immune system. We also want to consider laying down good healthy bacteria because it is the microbiome that really helps to enhance the proper absorption of the vitamins and minerals we are taking in from supplementation and food. Something like Probiotic HxⓇ is helpful for this.† 

We also need to ensure that our gut cells have rapid turnover. We want to make sure that we’re enhancing this. One way that we can really target this is through the inside of the cell. This is going to be through the genetic material, which some might call the “motherboard.” We’re going to include Nucleotide Complex into our back to school, back to work routine.†

Have you ever heard that biotin is good for your hair, skin and nails? Well, it is, but I want to talk about other significant details about biotin, including how deficiencies or insufficiencies of this nutrient can negatively impact your health.† 

What is biotin?

In its own right, biotin is like its own little unique B-complex. It’s one of our water-soluble B vitamins, but it plays a really integral role in so many different functions in the body. Many times, we don’t recognize biotin for its true abilities. We look at it for hair, skin and nails, which is important, but it does many other things that are much more significantly important.† 

ALL ABOUT VITAMIN B6 – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 328. Listen Now>>

When we look at the Standard American Diet, we can see how many people do not get this nutrient. Foods that are rich in biotin include egg yolks, spinach and mushrooms. A lot of Americans eat only egg whites and avoid vegetables altogether.†

We also know that healthy gut bacteria help to produce biotin. Now keep in mind how many people have unhealthy bacteria that are the predominant bacteria within their microbiome. This is why we always stretch the importance of being on a good, comprehensive multi-strain probiotic. This can do so much to really enhance the body’s immune system, energy production and more.†  

The role of this nutrient in the body

We have to understand what biotin is doing in the body. One of its most important roles is for cellular energy metabolism and the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It is also needed for the regulation of oxidative stress. If we have high levels of oxidative stress, this can do damage to the mitochondria, which makes that cell not want to function properly, preventing you from making adequate energy.† 

When we look at the science, we can draw a conclusion that relates low biotin status to low energy states. If you have low energy, you probably aren’t wondering if your biotin levels are low. This is why taking the Performance Multivitamin is a very good idea.  If you feel like you are dragging throughout the day, I would advise trying out some additional biotin, along with the True Energy effervescent packets, because it really can make an incredible difference.†
