These vitamins are STAPLES to take in the winter time!!❄️ With grey days and coughs going around, its the best vitamin to be taking at this time of year for its mood and immune boosting effects🤧

Supplement Spotlight - Vitamin D3 + K2 The Canadian Staple ☀️

Vitamin D is one of the most common supplements Canadians take — and for good reason. With our long winters and limited sun exposure, many of us simply don’t make enough.

🍄‍🟫 Can you get enough from food?
Vitamin D is found in:
• Fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines)
• Mushrooms and Lichen
• Egg yolks
• Fortified milk products and plant beverages
The challenge? Even a serving of salmon only provides roughly 400–600 IU. Most adults need 1,000–2,000 IU daily — sometimes more depending on levels. It’s very difficult to consistently meet optimal needs through food alone, especially without regular sun exposure.

🌤️ Why D3?
Supports immune health, mood, hormone balance, and bone strength. It also plays a role in serotonin production — which matters during darker months. D3 is typically derived from lanolin (animal source), D2 is derived from lichen (plant source).

🦴 Why add K2?
Vitamin D helps you absorb calcium. Vitamin K2 helps direct that calcium into bones and teeth where it belongs, instead of soft tissues. They work beautifully together.

✨ Typical Daily Adult Doses
• Vitamin D3: 2,000 IU daily
• Vitamin K2 (MK-7): 90–120 mcg daily
For most healthy adults, this is a safe foundational dose. If you are taking blood thinners like warfarin, speak with your healthcare team before supplementing with K2.

🧪 Even better? Test, don’t guess.
A 25-OH vitamin D blood test gives clarity. Many practitioners aim for levels around 90-125 nmol/L for optimal health. Sometimes we recommend more. It’s best to test and talk to your healthcare team about correct dosing!

I love D3 + K2 as a simple winter wellness habit for immune resilience, mood support, and strong bones.

Questions about supplements? I’m always happy to guide you. Send them to my new email address, ask.rachelle@corncrib.ca or pop by The Corn Crib Natural Foods Moncton (today) Saturday from 10-1pm and I can answer them in person. ✨

Balance for the win!

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Chelsey: Truly Incredible

I started taking balance December 1, 2025 - it's now February, so it's been about 3.5 months. And it works so well.
Before I starting taking balance, I was having painful periods (pain starting a day or two before), breaking out around my jaw, and my mood was terrible a good chunk of the month. I was barely surviving not thriving, and stressed to the max.
Now, my period has surprised me twice with no pain before as the heads up it was coming, just mild cramps the first day or so. I hardly get a pimple now. And my husband has been commenting on how much my mood has changed for the better. My life stresses have remained the same, but I just generally feel more prepared and "balanced" to take them on.

Honestly it's an incredible product. I was skeptical that it could help when I was feeling so all over the place, but it's done wonders for me, and in turn my family.

This delicious spiced milk has more benefits than you think...☕️⬇️⬇️

Medicinal Spiced Milk 🌿🥛

Gently warm a cup of milk (dairy or plant-based), then stir in cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and a pinch of nutmeg. Add a little raw honey if you like. Drink warm before bed.

This simple blend helps calm the nervous system, ease inflammation, and support digestion and sleep.
Cinnamon steadies blood sugar, ginger improves circulation, turmeric cools inflammation, and nutmeg relaxes tense nerves.

It’s comfort you can feel — warming, grounding, and quietly healing. Perfect for cold nights or stressed-out days ✨
