#NOWledge: Did you know humans lack an enzyme required for the internal production of vitamin C, so we must get it in foods every day, and constantly recycle it in the body using other antioxidants and free radical fighters. ⠀ What makes vitamin C a powerhouse? It supports the immune system and is involved in tissue growth and repair due to its role in the formation of collagen, the body's main structural protein. ⠀ The best form of vitamin C for you will depend on your lifestyle and health goals. Check with your health care provider or a certified nutritionist if you’re not sure what form is right for you. ⠀ *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

When we think of bacteria there’s usually one word that comes to mind – yuck! But this huge group of microorganisms isn’t all bad. You actually have trillions of bacteria in your body at any given time, most of them beneficial. In fact, our bodies are home to approximately ten times more bacterial cells than human cells! These beneficial bacteria live both inside and outside of our bodies. Outside, the majority of bacteria are found on our skin. Inside, the bulk of beneficial bacteria is found in our intestinal tract, also referred to as the human gut. Probiotics are awesome. They perform a number of incredibly important functions.

#NOWledge: Astragalus, an adaptogen, is more than a pretty shrub. For more than 2000 years, Chinese herbalists have valued Astragalus for its adaptogenic properties, as well as for its ability to tonify the body's "vital force" known as the Qi. Astragalus is a natural source of flavonoids, free amino acids, polysaccharides, trace minerals and polyphenols, active components that can help support immune system function.* *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.

❓Are essential oils safe for use around and on children? This is important #NOWledge we want you to know! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ✅Just like adults, children can benefit from aromatherapy through use in a diffuser or properly diluted topical application. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ❗️However, caution should be used since essential oils naturally are heavily concentrated. Children may have unknown allergies that will make use of certain essential oils off-limits for them, even essential oils that may be deemed generally safe for children of their age. #bloomconcept #nowfoodssg #officialdistributor (at Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4gYxJnnPUR/?igshid=10yccpq1ylmj
