Top Immunity Picks for Back to School

By Meaghers Pharmacy

September is almost like a fresh start three quarters of the way into the year: the air is crisper, autumnal colours are everywhere we look and, of course, it’s time for the kids to start a new school chapter.

Right now, there’s plenty of parents throughout Ireland ticking items off what seems like a never-ending list – but one small but mighty addition to that list is a supplement to add to your child’s daily routine.

Here are some of our top supplement picks to include in their back to school routine:

Revive Active Teen Tropical 20 Sachets

Revive Active for Teens – As teenagers lead increasingly active lifestyles, their level of nutrient requirements increase, so Teen Revive was created to support busy teenagers aged 13-18 years. Teen Revive is a superior blend of high-quality ingredients formulated to fuel and support a teenagers active and healthy lifestyle. A super supplement with 23 active ingredients for all-round support including immune system, energy levels, brain and bones. Multiple benefits, all in one sachet.

Plus, for ages 4-12, there’s also Revive Active Junior.

Eskimo Kids Omega 3 6 Vit A D

Eskimo-3 Kids Omega 3 Liquid is a supplement to support development in children aged 1 to 12 years old, brain function, vision and their immune system. Eskimo-3 Kids is an easy way to support children as their brains and bodies develop. With no fishy taste, it is ideal for children who do not eat much fish. The added vitamin D also provides support for everyday health including immune function, teeth and bones. 60% of our brains are composed of fatty acids. Therefore, our body needs healthy fats for good health, especially during the growth and development stage of this vital organ. Eskimo-3 Kids provides optimised levels of Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, Omega-6 and Omega-9 as well as immune-boosting Vitamin D3 and Vitamin E.

Symprove Gut Health Supplement

Did you know that your children can also take Symprove as part of their morning routine? Simply offer them 1ml per 1kg of bodyweight, so for example, if they weigh 20kg, their Symprove measurement is 20mls. If you haven’t heard of Symprove just yet, Symprove is specifically formulated to support a healthy and balanced gut microbiome, with a unique water-based solution that keeps friendly bacteria alive and active – so they’re ready to work as soon as you take your morning Symprove shot. The Strawberry & Raspberry is a great flavour option for them, plus the brand new Pineapple flavour!

BetterYou D400 Junior Vitamin D Oral Spray

A convenient, fuss-free way to boost your child’s vitamin D levels, each spray delivers 400IU of vitamin D3 to support your child’s development, as well as contribute to healthy bone and teeth development and to help support a healthy immune system.
