These following are items I feel are essential to have in a healthy kitchen. Any links included, will link you to Amazon. These are some of the more difficult to find products. I chose products that I have both used, and are the least expensive. Some may be sold in larger quantities than you’d like, but they are all freezer or shelf stable and you’ll get a better deal when purchasing this way. I recommend you check out local food co-ops, and specialty markets like Asian and Indian for less expensive products.

B-12-I use the whole food form from Garden of Life, it’s a the Methylcobalamin form of B-12. 1 spray per day and you’re good to go! You can purchase it on Amazon, here. It has a good taste and my kids like taking it.
Vitamin D-most people are deficient in Vitamin D, especially where I live in the Northeast. If you’re looking for a whole food version, Garden of Life makes a spray of 1000 mg. I would suggest 2 sprays a day. You can purchase this through Amazon by clicking here. It does have a very sweet taste, and taste like frosting, a little overwhelming for those not used to such sweetness. For a chewable version for kiddos, click here. Or for a 5,000 mg capsule, click here.
