Q- What are the top options for back-to-school immune support?
A- Every-body has different needs. We've formulated a number of immune support products that our customers have used for over 35 years. There is an entire Immune Building category on our website, and we always sell a lot of our Immune System Builder Wellness Kit this time of year.
TriLight Health employees are not doctors, and we cannot prescribe specific products for you to try. We encourage you to look over the reviews and read about each product to decide which is best for your family!
Between new classrooms, new germs, and new schedules, back-to-school immune support is one of the top concerns for parents this time of year. Here are a few more questions we hear a lot:
Echinacea or elderberry, which is better for immune support?
It's really not an either-or; both have benefits! Echinacea and elderberry each offer unique immune-boosting properties, so many families use them together.
Echinacea has long been valued for supporting the body's natural defenses. Elderberries are prized for their antioxidant content. That's actually why our founder, Lyle Bennett, combined both in one formula years ago. Our Echinacea and Thyme with Elderberries blends echinacea, thyme, and whole elderberries together, so you're not stuck choosing just one.
How can I strengthen my child's immune system before school starts?
The basics matter more than anything else here. A consistent sleep schedule, regular handwashing, plenty of water, and a diet rich in a variety of fruits and vegetables go a long way. especially in the weeks leading up to a new school year, when routines (and germ exposure) shift all at once.
Many of our families also build a daily herbal tonic into that routine. Something gentle enough for everyday use, like NR Glow, is an easy way to add extra support without changing much else. As always, individual needs vary, so check with your child's healthcare provider if you have specific health concerns.
Where can I buy immune support for kids before school starts?
Right here! We're not a vitamin company (everything we make is a liquid herbal extract, not a synthetic vitamin). So, if you're searching for all-natural immune support to have on hand before the first day, our full Immune Building formulas are ready to ship. Orders over $35 ship free, so it's worth stocking up on a few formulas at once rather than ordering piecemeal through the school year.
Here's a closer look at our best-selling immune support formulas, so you can see what makes each one different.
? Echinacea and Thyme with Elderberries: Our longtime top seller. Echinacea, thyme, and whole elderberries come together in a formula kids genuinely like the taste of, which makes it one of the easiest immune formulas to actually get into your kids. Also included at a discount in the Immune System Builder Wellness Kit.
? Immune System Builder Wellness Kit: Three of our top immune formulas (NR Glow, Echinacea and Thyme, and BactaMune) bundled together and designed to be rotated every three days. A simple way to stock a full immune toolkit for the school year at a discount over buying each one separately.
✨ NR Glow: Echinacea, astragalus, and red root come together in a formula gentle enough to use as a daily tonic. One of our longtime customer favorites for ongoing support during the school year.
? Propolis: A bee-derived extract rich in flavonoids, historically valued for its natural properties. A great option for families looking for an echinacea-free alternative.
? Triple Echinacea and Goldenseal: A concentrated blend of three types of echinacea plus goldenseal root, formulated for extra support when you need it most. Not recommended for children under 3, and best used for 10 days or less at a time.
? ViraMune: Red root and Echinacea purpurea combine in a formula our customers reach for again and again. A reliable one to keep on hand once the school year gets going.
