How I Sneak Flu-Busting Nutrients Into My Kid’s Diet (Without a Fight)
Hey, Crucial FOUR founder Charles here! So, my daughter’s sick. She’s 7, and let me tell you, getting her to take anything when she’s not feeling well is like trying to negotiate with a very stubborn brick wall.
You know how it is—kids can sniff out anything “healthy” from a mile away.
I’ve had to figure out creative ways to get good stuff into her body when she’s sick, and this right here? It works. mDefense Camu Camu powder (super high in vitamin C!) mixed with raw honey.
It’s packed with vitamin C and all kinds of flu-busting nutrients. Plus, it actually tastes good, so even my picky kid doesn’t fight me on it.
The best part? It’s ridiculously simple. Let me show you how to make it.
Camu Camu a Vitamin C Powerhouse
Camu camu is a superfood loaded with vitamin C—one of the most effective nutrients for immune support. It’s a natural way to fight colds, support recovery, and keep your system strong.
Unlike synthetic supplements or remedies, camu camu offers whole-food benefits that your body absorbs more efficiently.
Why Add Raw Honey?
Honey isn’t just there to make the mixture taste good (though it does help)—it’s a health superstar on its own. It’s packed with antioxidants, has natural antibacterial properties, and is incredibly soothing for sore throats.
Fun fact: honey has been used for centuries as a remedy and never goes bad. All this makes it the perfect partner for camu camu powder in creating a long-lasting, powerhouse remedy for sick days.
