Vitamin Recommendations for a Healthy Holiday Season From Your Favorite Holistic Health & Wellness Nurse Francine!
We have more people contacting us post thanksgiving fun for IV infusions and recommendations for recommendations for a healthy immune system this holiday season. So I thought, why not share this? Because if a few are asking, I know many are thinking the same thing. So what vitamins should you take? What brand of vitamins do we recommend? But of course, this is purely educational and not medical advice. Please advise your primary physician prior to adding any vitamin or supplement to your daily routine.

Detox Benefits: Assists in liver detoxification, perfect for countering overindulgence in holiday treats or drinks.
Natural Sources: While glutathione itself is not easily absorbed from food, you can boost its production by consuming:
Sulfur-rich foods like garlic, onions, and cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, kale).
Foods rich in selenium, such as Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, and mushrooms.
Vitamin C-rich foods (see below) that help regenerate glutathione.
