Let’s face it. We don’t always have time for a well-balanced meal. Sometimes, I go through spurts where I’m running around like a chicken with no head and grabbing anything on the go so getting all the nutrients my body needs can sometimes be a challenge. In addition to a multivitamin, I take the following supplements to help boost immunity. I’m blessed to say that I have great health, and very rarely catch even the common cold.“A well-balanced life, is a perfect life.”
