While there is no one single way to deal with this, when you have a loved one, like a parent who is going through the final stages of their life, it's undeniably difficult. And we all find ways of trying to deal with this stress, but when we are attempting to support a parent who has been diagnosed with a terminal illness, you feel like you need to be Superwoman to get through the issues. And while we all deal with our mortality in different ways, some of us go on a major health kick and encourage our children and other family members to do the same, this might be the symptom of something much deeper. And it's important to recognize what you are going through as well as the person you care deeply about.

Let’s Keep Our Kids Healthy with Nutrawell!

With school back in session, kids are more likely to get ill. Just recently, Athena and Brianna was admitted to the hospital, thus they have to miss school and Emergency Leave for me and Jaear. That's why we have to take extra effort to keep our kids healthy. This extra care will help them maintain their energy to perform in school and excel in their chosen passions. A great way to do that is by giving them the right Nutraceuticals every day. 

A week ago, Generika Drugstore sent me a wellness bag for the kids. It includes Nutrawell Probiotics and Actimed Ascorbic Acid. Exclusively available at any Generika Drugstore near you, these food supplements can help boost your kids’ wellness.

Nutrawell Probiotics for Kids contains 5 Billion Colony Forming Units (CFUs) of 7 safe and effective strains of active lactobacillus. A grape flavored powder mix with more strains compared to other probiotic brands, it can be mixed with your kid's favorite drink. With its fruity flavor, your kids can even take their daily dose straight from the sachet too. Regular doses will help restore the good bacteria in the digestive system, helping the body improve its defenses against disease.

Actimed Ascorbic Acid is a potent antioxidant and vitamin that serves an important role in many of the body’s functions. An overall immune booster, it assists in the repair of blood cells, tissues, and bones. This vitamin also helps in the proper absorption of iron and aids in the speedy healing of cuts and wounds. Nutrawell Sodium Ascorbate provides the same benefits without the potential side effect of gastric irritation. Both food supplements come in syrup form.

To make the most out of Nutrawell Nutraceuticals by Generika Drugstore, it’s best to keep your kids on a healthy regimen. Make sure they get ample time for rest while having enough time for sports and other physical activities. Shifting your household menu towards more fruits, vegetables, and lean meats also helps – so that your kids develop a preference for healthy food over processed options.

Visit a Generika Drugstore near you to discover safe, effective, and affordable medications and nutraceutical products. Starting this school year, give your kids the gift that lasts a lifetime – their good health!
