Question: For a new beginning into vitamins, where should I start?

Answer: So it doesn’t even have to be our brand of vitamins, we have the liquid morning, liquid nighttime, and liquid probiotic but you want to have something that is considered full-spectrum, which is a little bit of everything that someone might need. The liquid morning raspberry is considered full-spectrum, as well as the liquid probiotic and the nighttime multimineral. It’s also great to add in omegas, if your budget allows.

Question: Vitamins most kids need to be taking?

Answer: Same thing, you want to get something that is full-spectrum, which means it has a little bit of everything that someone might need. Our children’s multivitamin sugar-free gummy (2 years and up) is good, also the liquid morning raspberry for ages 2 years old and up. It also depends on their age, but you want your child to be taking a multivitamin as well as omegas. Omegas are really important for brain health. If the budget allows, a probiotic is great too.

Question: How do I know what vitamins I am deficient in?

Answer: You know what you are deficient in by getting your blood work done at least once a year with your doctor. That includes children, children can also get their blood work done.

Question: What is ok/not ok to take during pregnancy?

Answer: As always, check with your doctor but we have a liquid morning pre and post natal that is considered full-spectrum. Do not forget about the omegas as well. You are starting to see a common theme here – omegas and probiotics are really important. You can take the nighttime multimineral, you also need calcium and magnesium when you are pregnant (check with your doctor). Also liquid vitamin K2 is a great one for pregnancy.

Question: What can I do about postpartum hair loss?

Answer: You’ll want to take the liquid postnatal multivitamin, nighttime multimineral, postnatal probiotic, the B12 complex, or the hair skin and nails sugar free gummies (check with your doctor). Don’t forget omegas – all these things work together in the body.

Question: How do you know what vitamins to trust, do you only look for the ones the FDA approves?

Answer: You want to go with a company that has full transparency, third party testing and follows the FDA guidelines.

Question: Best thing to take in the winter to prevent colds? Good immune system booster?

Answer: Again you want to have that triad of health, that morning multivitamin, nighttime multimineral, and the probiotic. You can also take our sugarfree immunity gummies, or our liposomal vitamin C, or our liquid vitamin C (infants vitamin c linked here) and liquid elderberry if you want – or tablets (you’ve got to check with your doctor as well).

Question: Should I take a prenatal during all of my child bearing years or just while pregnant?

Answer: Yes, great question (ask your doctor), people take prenatals when they are trying to conceive, when they are breastfeeding, and if they are spacing children close together.

Question: Is there a specific vitamin that helps with energy levels?

Answer: B12, B complex, it really just depends on what you are deficient in. Energy can have a lot to do with what you are missing/deficient in and when you add those things back in, you’ll potentially have a surge of energy.

Question: Are vitamins safe while breastfeeding?

Answer: Yes, vitamins are recommended while breastfeeding (check with your doctor) because when you take vitamins they go into the breastmilk and then the baby gets them.

Question: Can you take too much of a vitamin, how do you know it is too much?

Answer: Through your blood work, yes you can take too much of a vitamin and you’ll know through your blood work that you can get once a year through your doctor. That’s why it’s important to take the recommended daily doses by the FDA.

Question: Should you not take anything else with a general multivitamin?

Answer: No, you definitely need more multiminerals, omegas, and probiotics. Obviously it has a lot to do with your budget.

Question: If I only take three products, what should I take?

Answer: The triad of health, the liquid morning, the liquid nighttime and the liquid probiotic.

Question: Do you guys have some sort of dosage chart by age and type of vitamin?

Answer: Yes we do, absolutely. We have infant vitamins, baby vitamins, toddler vitamins, child vitamins (considered ages 4 and up), etc. Each product comes with the recommended dosages.

Question: What kinds of vitamins can be taken together, which cannot?

Answer: For the most part everything can be taken together. Yes, some people say that magnesium absorbs better in the body at night – that’s why there is a nighttime multimineral. Other people say that you should take your iron separate from other vitamins, sure, that’s why we make a separate iron vitamin but really for the most part you can take them all together, check with your doctor as always.

Question: Any vitamins better for sleep?

Answer: Yes, the nighttime multimineral, magnesium, and calcium. We also make a hemp oil, with no THC, it’s made from organic hemp seeds and that also helps people sleep. It really depends on the person and whether they are deficient in, for example, magnesium – then the nighttime multimineral will help them potentially sleep, or if their nervous system really needs something like hemp oil, it depends on what the issues are for the specific person.

Question: What vitamins do women lack the most?

Answer: Again, it has to do with what that person is personally going through, that’s why blood work is so important!
