Are you getting the vitamin D you need? This last year has put a major spotlight on the importance of immune resilience, and what people can do to optimize their own immune health.While there is no single answer, we do know that Vitamin D plays a critical role in modulating the immune system. Every day, we are learning more about how maintaining adequate levels can help reduce the duration, severity and complications from viral infections and other common health concerns.... While Governments across the globe have started to implement initiatives to help increase access to Vitamin D, we have yet to see the critical importance of this acknowledged here in Canada. This is surprising and shortsighted, given that we know that only 10% of Canadian adults have optimal levels while almost 40% have insufficient levels to meet the minimum standard. We want to do our part to increase awareness and help remove barriers to access by making Vitamin D available for all Canadian adults. To that extent, we are happy to offer a free one month supply of Vitamin D and free shipping on all new orders for the month of February. This simple, proactive and preventative measure could dramatically help reduce the burden on our ever challenged healthcare system. Use the code DFORALL at checkout. We get that there is an overwhelming amount of information out there, a lot of which is hard to make sense of.

As with any natural Health product make sure to check with your primary care provider to make sure this is right for you.

Because being in fight or flight mode is great for when the last train comes in 5 minutes, it’s just not so great for everyday life. In addition to aiding sleep, Rhodiola can enhance mood and decrease occasional episodes of worry and nervousness, allowing for more efficient functioning under stressful conditions. Adaptogen is definitely a buzz word lately which is no surprise given that it seems like daily stress levels are on the rise. With more pressure to do more, peop...le are finding themselves burning the candle at both ends, wreaking havoc on their adrenal system. And while not all stress is bad, too much stress for prolonged periods of time can lead to health problems. If the following resonates with you, then you may benefit from supplementing with Rhodiola: - I am stressed and anxious - I regularly experience stress related headaches - I seem to catch every cold that goes around - I’m always tired - I usually feel overwhelmed and jangled - I am anticipating a period of high stress and I want to be ready (think planning your wedding, taking exams, finishing residency) And while there is no doubt that the benefits of Rhodiola seem ideal, it is important to keep in mind that it should not be used as a band-aid as you continue to push yourself beyond your limits. Rather, it should be used for additional support in conjunction with strategies to help improve sleep, get outside and find more restorative down time while you identify and address any underlying issues that may be contributing to burn-out. As with any natural health care product, always check with your primary care provider to make sure this is right for you. See more
