If you had asked me a few years ago, I probably would’ve said supplements were “nice to have,” but not totally necessary. I thought as long as I ate fairly well, that should be enough. Fast-forward to today, and I’ve noticed such a difference since I started being consistent with them. Between busy family life and school-age kids who bring home every bug imaginable, I honestly feel like my daily supplement routine has been key in keeping my immune system strong.
So, What Do I Take Daily?
Here’s what’s in my lineup:
🌿 Earthley Wellness Nourish Me Naturally
A liquid herbal supplement packed with vitamins and minerals from whole food sources. It feels like giving my body a little boost of nutrients straight from plants. Especially great for energy support and filling in the gaps where diet alone might not cover everything.
☀️ Vitamin D3 + K2
This combo is so important since we don’t get enough sunshine year-round. Vitamin D supports immune health, mood, and even energy. K2 helps the body absorb and use the D properly. This is a “non-negotiable” for me.
⚡ Zinc
Simple but powerful! Zinc helps the body fight off viruses and recover faster. If the kids come home sniffling, zinc is the first thing I make sure I’m on top of.
💪 Ancient Nutrition Women’s Vitality
A well-rounded women’s formula that covers energy, hormone balance, and overall wellness. I feel like this one helps me not just “survive” the day, but actually feel steady and supported.
🌱 Seed Probiotic
Gut health is everything. A good probiotic not only helps with digestion but also supports immunity. Since starting Seed, I’ve noticed less bloating, more regular digestion, and I honestly think it’s part of why I don’t get fully sick.
Now here’s the funny part. My husband used to roll his eyes at my supplement lineup. He wasn’t into the idea of taking them daily and thought food was enough. But lately, with our kids bringing home every cold and cough from school, he’s been the one getting sick the most. Meanwhile, I might feel a little run down or get a day of mild symptoms, but I never seem to get fully sick. He’s starting to realize there might be something to all this supplement-taking after all!
For me, the difference has been consistency. I don’t take them perfectly every single day, but I keep them in a little basket in the kitchen so I don’t forget. Most mornings, I take them with breakfast (coffee in hand, of course). If I miss a day, no big deal, but I really notice when I string together weeks of staying consistent—that’s when I feel my best.
Supplements aren’t a magic bullet—you still need sleep, real food, movement, and stress management—but for me, they’ve been a game changer. They’re like that extra layer of support my body needs during a busy season of life, especially with little kids around.
And if you’re curious but not sure where to start, my advice would be: don’t overcomplicate it. Pick one or two basics (like vitamin D and a probiotic), get consistent, and build from there. That’s exactly how I started.
