Back to School Sniffles are No Match for Uncle Matt’s Immune Supporting Bevvies
School is back in session! And this means a return to the many icky germs often found in classrooms and cafeterias. Yuck! So, how do you help your kids battle supporting their bodies against these pesky germs? Besides reminding them to frequently wash their hands, you can give them healthy, nutritional options to get their immune systems ready for anything! Uncle Matt’s Organic juices are the perfect addition to your kids’ back-to-school menu. Here’s why:
Organic Orange Juice:
Before you send your kids out the door to the classroom, organic orange juice is a must-have for any morning breakfast lineup. One 12oz bottle of orange juice provides 150% of your recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C. According to Healthline, Vitamin C is an important antioxidant for a healthy immune system because it helps protect your body from free radicals. Vitamin C also aids in the production of infection-fighting white blood cells.
Can’t get the kiddos to drink enough orange juice on its own? Try mixing it into some of our kid-friendly faves for a citrus twist on some breakfast classics:

Ultimate Immune:
Ultimate Immune is designed to helped with, you guessed it, immune support! This makes this purple powerhouse an excellent source of immune-boosting ingredients for those back-to-school days. Ultimate Immune gets its color from two antioxidant-packed superfruits: elderberries and acerola cherries. These mighty superfruit superstars are loaded with Vitamin C. When added to the Vitamin C already found in orange juice, Ultimate Immune boasts a whopping 300% RDA to give the immune system a boost.
We’ve also added Vitamin D and Zinc to our purple blend to create the trifecta in immune support. According to the National Institutes of Health Office of Dietary Supplements, Vitamin D is important for a myriad of bodily functions, but when it comes to your immune system, this vitamin helps “to fight off invading bacteria and viruses.” Medical News Today outlines the many health benefits of zinc. Two of the most noteworthy benefits are immune system support and potential shortening of the common cold.
Ultimate Immune tastes great right out of the bottle, but it’s also fun to add to these breakfast dishes:

Ultimate Defense:
If a zesty flavor profile entices your little one’s palette, Ultimate Defense is another great option for supporting a healthy immune system. The orange juice and acerola cherry help make up the 300% RDA of the immune support superstar, Vitamin C. Organic ginger juice contains an antioxidant called gingerols that help fight free radicals in the body. They’re also being studied for their possible antibacterial properties according to theCleveland Clinic.
Ultimate Defense also is boosted with a well-known spice called turmeric. While turmeric is known for a number of health benefits, the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health sheds light on how turmeric can be utilized as a dietary supplement for many health conditions, including respiratory tract infections. To help the body absorb the turmeric, we’ve also added another spice cabinet staple: black pepper.
