A good, strong immune system isn’t built or bolstered in a day. Partially genetics, but many parts good habits, you can do so many things to build your immune system to withstand the onslaught of flu / Covid / norovirus / RSV season.

One of the greatest ways to boost immunity in addition to eating well and exercising, are SLEEPING WELL and REDUCING STRESS.

We’ll focus on sleep first.Good sleep when still healthy will allow your body to rest and recover from daily exposure to stressors, both mental and physical. And when sick? Sleep is key to a faster recovery. Explore our Hibernate Gummies for better rest. 

How do our sleep focused Hibernate Gummies work? Our hero mushroom is Reishi, known to help balance and mitigate stress hormones. This mighty mushroom is the king of calm, particularly when taken steadily, and acts as an adaptogen that helps you stay resilient to stress and boost your immunity. In addition, we include L-Tryptophan, an amino acid that can create sedation, but also converts to serotonin and melatonin in the body, naturally. This aids in sleep, but also in mood, to help address both stress and insomnia at the same time. Finally, we include L-Theanine, an amino acid best known for mood balance and calm.

Now, stress.

Sustained stress weakens the immune system by stimulating the production of cortisol. Over time, your body gets used to having too much cortisol in your blood, which paves the way for increased inflammation that can suppress your immune system’s ability to fight off invaders.

One way to reduce stress, in addition to meditation and movement, is to supplement with our Concentrate Gummies. In this formula, Lion’s Mane mushrooms not only help you focus your brain in a task oriented mode, they also help offset anxiety and depression by helping to produce serotonin and dopamine for improved mood. Lion’s Mane may also improve the function of the hippocampus, a brain region that processes memories and emotional responses.

Plus, L-Theanine is a clear mood booster and regulator, helping increase positive brain chemicals that are linked to mood, sleep, and emotion, as well as decreasing brain chemicals that contribute to stress and anxiety.

We see immunity as an ongoing pursuit, based in good habits that can be assisted with a variety of healthy mushrooms and amino acids that are great for mind and body.
