How to Fight Jet Lag
How to Fight Jet Lag I love to travel. There are still so many places that I want to see in the world and as a travel writer, I am always planning my next...
Vitamins are something that I think a lot about. I have been taking vitamins since I was a child and my family has been taking them for years as well.
I am always concerned that my children are not getting everything they need as far as nutrients. While we try to do a good job making certain that they eat the right foods, I do accept as their mother that they really need vitamins in order to get all of the vitamins that they need to keep them healthy.
Every fall we go through our medicine cabinet and we buy the vitamins that we need to keep us healthy each year. Fall is the hardest time for my family because that is almost always when the kids get sick. With cold season fast approaching now is a good time to arm your body with the Vitamin’s it needs for a healthy fall. Let me show how we do that.
Everyone gets a multivitamin and I have to confess that it is really hard to get my three kids to all agree on a vitamin that they like so we have to buy two kinds but it works out because we never run out of vitamins.
Did you know that just by buying your vitamins or supplements at Walgreens you can help a child in need? It is easy to buy at Walgreens because they have a wide assortment of vitamins and supplements.
There are million of children around the world who suffer from ‘hidden hunger' which is a lack of micronutrients that can lead to disease and even death. What is scarier is that 45% of all childhood deaths are attributable to under-nutrition. That is a heartbreaking statistic.
Walgreens gives a portion of all vitamin retail sales to Vitamin Angels to help 100 million children in the U.S. and abroad get the vitamins they need to live well.
So far, they have raised funds to aid 28 million kids to date.
I am so bad about taking vitamins myself. My kids take them and I really need to get better about doing it myself.
Between the kiddo’s melatonin, regular vitamins, my vitamins and prenatals we buy a lot of Vitamins. I haven’t been to a Walgreens to check out their prices in a while. I’ll have to do that next time I need a refill
My son takes the Lil Critters Gummy Vites, & he loves them! The timing on this is perfect, because he just finished a bottle, & we need to purchase a new one. I love knowing that my next purchase is going to give back!
We need to stock up on vitamins. My hubby is sick right now and I’m afraid that it will spread to my son and me.
I have to admit I usually don’t take any because I’m so bad at remembering! My hubby does though, every night!
I stink at taking vitamins.. my husband takes a few different kind. My girls take the new Centrum. Love those!
I love the Walgreens Gives Back initiative. I already buy my vitamins there, but this gives me even more reason to do so.
I take a multi vitamin. Love Walgreens
I have all these multivitamins at home. But sometimes I forget to take them.
I take a multi-vitamin every morning. So do my husband and son. You gotta have your vitamins!
That is one awesome program! I take multivitamins and then omegas – the kids the same.
I really love this program. Malnutrition goes right along with hunger, and even kids that are getting some meals still need extra vitamins, I’m sure.
I make sure everyone in the house takes their vitamins everyday. We try to eat well, but even the best diet has gaps. I’m so glad Walgreens is offering supplements to those in need. What a great thing to do!
I buy all my vitamins from Walgreens. They have the best prices and great quality.
My daughters love those chewable vitamins and even I do. Those are actually the only ones I can take. I love Walgreens too! I try to take my vitamins daily but sometimes I forget.
My family and I always love shopping at Walgreens! Vitamins are always an important thing to take part in. Thanks for sharing the great post!
Our church does missions in Africa and it is amazing how even a multivitamin could save someone’s life. Love Vitamin Angels mission!
I take a multivitamin and folic acid daily. My kids take multivitamins too. I love that Walgreens is giving back in this way!
I take a multi vitamin every day. When it is this time of year i add echinacea .
I’m inconsistent to say the least, but I take a multi, C, B (something), calcium and oh heck, I can’t remember. Clearly I need to get with it.
I had no clue that Walgreens was doing this. I take a multi-vitamin every day and hubby takes a couple of ‘manly’ vitamins as well. Will have to look into this.
I need to get some more vitamins for me. My husband takes some also and so do our boys.
Currently I don’t give my kids supplements. I tried to feed them lots of veggies and fruits
I take Zinc in the colder months and it seems to work out in my favor (with me getting sick far less than the kids). I could be much better about taking a multi-vitamin though.
I need to start taking some extra vitamins. I know that eating right doesn’t always give us all we need.
I love that they make it so easy to help give back by buying something you already needed. I go off and on with my vitamin routine – I should probably start again!
This is an awesome program! Now, if I could only be more consistent with my vitamin consumption!
Walgreens has great campaigns like this. Glad to see them helping folks out with vitamins!
I really need to take more. I always forget! Thanks for reminding me.
