How to Boost the Immune System for Kids: the Simple Way!

My kids take a multi-vitamin each morning (ok, most mornings…) and we also use essential oils to help provide some support to our bodies to help us stay well. But sometimes we need an extra dose of immunity boosting goodness (especially in the late fall and winter when the sniffles seem to be almost impossible to avoid).

Today I want to show you a product from The Honest Company that is formulated for kids, but that my entire family actually uses. The reason we all use it has to do with the way I choose to use the product: in our smoothies.

I’d say that my crew has smoothies as part of breakfast 2-3 times each week. During the fall and winter (and if needed, other times of the year as well), if I’m making a smoothie that is going to have a dominant berry flavor, I go ahead and add some of this Kid’s Immunity Boost.

It comes in powder form (and a berry flavor) and it can be used in smoothies, on yogurt or even in juice. I’ve simply found that my crew likes it best in smoothies, so that’s the route we take.

I think this is a great wellness tool to add to your arsenal as a boost to help your kids’ bodies be primed for fighting those germs that most definitely will head their way.

Since this product retails for $19.95 it is slightly more affordable to sign up for a wellness bundle, which is $35.95 for 2 products in the list of options (so you could buy 2 and save $2 per container that way). Since shipping is free once you spend $50 or more, take advantage of the fact that bundles allow for up to 3 additional items to be added at 25% off the retail price per item. At 25% off, your price for that third container would be $14.96. I think the most fun thing to do would be to order several different things from the selection, but you could just stick to the Kids’ Immunity Boost and order 4 of them through the bundle service. Your grand total would be $65.87 (that’s $16.46 per container), you’d get free shipping, and you’d likely be all set for a year or even more with your immunity booster.

Honest Company Best Multivitamin for Men Review: An Honest Assessment

December 19, 2015 · by Tiffany Merritt · 1 Comment

Referral links may be included. My family buys and loves Honest Company products.

My husband has been using the Honest Company’s Men’s Complete One a Day Vitamins for over a year now, and they the best multivitamin for men for a few key reasons.

I think the biggest benefit of this multivitamin is the fact that it also has probiotics included. We both have felt a noticeable difference in our overall health when we take probiotics, so having it included with the multivitamin instead of being a separate pill is awesome.

I’m also really impressed with the specific ingredients in this multivitamin and the fact that it is truly targeted for the needs of men. It has a stimulant-free combination of ingredients to help give an energy boost throughout the day.

Tim doesn’t like to take this pill on an empty stomach, so it’s best to pair it with some food. But otherwise, it’s so great to pack so much great stuff into one pill. I wish they could find a way to add in some Omega-3 vitamins, too (although they do offer a separate pill to get those vitamins, too).

And just like all Honest products, here’s some of what you WON’T find in these multivitamins: made soy, gluten, yeast, wheat, casein, gelatin, sodium, dairy, eggs, shellfish, sweeteners, HFCS, artificial flavors, starch, dyes, preservatives, parabens, or phthalates.

A one month supply retails for $19.95. You can subscribe to a bundle and get 2 items from their listed of choices for $34.95 (which will save you about $5 on two containers). You can also get 25% off up to 3 additional items when you subscribe to a bundle, so if you wanted to buy a third bottle, that bottle would cost just $14.96. It’s important to note that there is a shipping charge unless you spend $50 or more, and then shipping is free. So my recommendation is to buy 4 bottles of the vitamins at a time. You’ll get the price per bottle down to about $16.21 that way and you won’t pay for shipping.

And as far as being a bundle subscriber, it is truly hassle-free. You can push back your order as much as you want online, and you receive a notification when you order is a day or two away from processing in case you forgot and need to change anything, want to push it back again, or call in and cancel. I love being a bundle subscriber and the cost savings is totally worth the miniscule amount of time you have to spend pushing back order dates until you are ready to order again.

Honest Company Women’s Complete One a Day Multivitamin: An Honest Assessment

Referral links may be included. I’m a very happy Honest Company customer and I love sharing my thoughts on the value of their products.

Friends are you taking multivitamins on the regular? If not, I’ve got the perfect thing for you to request that Santa leave in your stocking this year (or if you are reading this at a different time of year, the perfect gift for you to get for yourself): Honest Company Women’s Complete One a Day Multivitamin.

This product is designed to be ultra-absorbable. Did you know many multivitamins are really hard for your body to break down, which makes them sort of pointless? Not this one! Furthermore, this blend has been specifically formulated for the needs of women, with amino acids, superfoods, healthy probiotics (something most multivitamins lack!) & digestive enzymes.

And because this product is made by The Honest Company, it is free of GMOs, soy, gluten, yeast, wheat, artificial flavors, dyes, preservatives and all sorts of other questionable stuff. This is why I love this company. I trust that they are making high quality products that will boost my health, not compromise it.

Honest Company offers wellness bundles, which allow you to get any two items on their wellness list for $35.95. The retail price for these vitamins is $19.95, so if you get them in a bundle, you will save $3.95 on your purchase. Additionally, you are offered the opportunity to get up to 3 more items from the wellness category at 25% off when you order a bundle. This is a GREAT opportunity to add in more vitamins, because at 25% off, each bottle will cost you just $14.96. So you could get a 5 month supply at one time if you wanted, or you could make other purchases from their offerings. I would recommend getting at least one more item so that your order total comes to $50 or higher, since shipping is FREE at that point. 🙂 Why put money into shipping when you could put it into more Honest Company products, instead?

I love these vitamins and I would highly recommend them to others. I also love having a wellness bundle. And remember, it’s SO easy to change the date when your next order will ship (seriously, you can put it off for months at a time if you so wish…not a big deal AT ALL, and you can do it online). And if you have never ordered from The Honest Company, check out my post on the Honest Company free trials that you should take advantage of first and foremost. I’ve also got a long list of Honest Company product reviews if you’ like to learn more about which products I recommend, and which ones I don’t.
