When we feel stressed, it is likely our immune system is too. Neuro-nutritional vitamins can help support immune system health.


Here are a few recommended nutrients that are important for your body.

Multivitamins

Great multivitamins will bring vitamin B12 and folate together. They are perfect partners. They work together to form red blood cells and produce SAMe, a compound involved in immune function and mood, sleep, memory, and more.

Probiotics

80% of your immune system resides in the gut wall; it’s why it’s important to prioritize gut health. Scientific research shows that the organisms within your intestines and stomach may be responsible for mental health (1, 2), as well as your physical health.

Vitamin D

This vitamin does so much more than the expected. And when you’re stuck inside, you may not be getting all the vitamin D you need. Supplement to support immunity (3), mood (4), and healthy bones (5).

DHA

DHA is an omega 3 essential fatty acid that your body needs on a daily basis. It is vital for supporting mood, sleep, and memory (15, 16, 17)—but our bodies don’t make it, so you have to take it.

You can find the above nutrients in many of our vitamins.
