1. Dr. Nigma’s Super Vitamin C Cocktail

Are you getting enough Vitamin C to stay strong during the cold and flu season? We love Dr. Nigma’s Super Vitamin C Cocktail because it makes staying healthy just that much easier. Each pouch comes with 30 stick packs. Drink it in the morning, or pop one in your purse for later—mixes well with water, juice, smoothies, and plane rides.

2. Crushed Tonic Marine Collagen

We love collagen because we love taking care of our skin—which is especially important when wind and chill is sapping moisture from us! This pure marine collagen is sustainably harvested from non-GMO tilapia. Collagen makes up 75% of our skin, hair, nails, bones and muscles; consuming it daily replenishes cells with the amino acids needed for healthier skin and hair. Free of heavy metals, Crushed Tonic’s collagen comes in four flavors: Coffee, Matcha, Original (lucuma) or Just Marine (unflavored). Zero added sugars and zero preservatives, just good clean collagen.

3. TheraFace Pro

Feeling like a frown is stuck on your face? Reinvent your skincare routine with the TheraFace PRO tool used for facial cleansing, rejuvenation, massage and treatments, to aid in firming and plumping your skin, bringing an overall feeling of vibrancy back to your face. We felt the stress melt away under Theragun’s percussive therapy technology, which helps reduce tension and relax facial muscles. Benefits of facial massage include skin-toning and repair through microcurrents and light therapy. The tool includes 3 percussive attachments, a microcurrent ring, an LED light therapy ring, and a cleansing ring. The LED attachment offers blue and red light therapy, which can help reduce acne and eye wrinkles, while the microcurrent ring helps firm and tighten skin and improve muscle tone. A spa facial is great, but the TheraFace PRO offers spa results from the comfort of your own couch—while watching Netflix, cuddling the dog, and drinking tea.

4. Dr. Nigma’s Cortisol Balancer 

End-of-year work crunch? You or your loved one should try incorporating Dr. Nigma’s Cortisol Balancer. This stress and mood supporter could help bring hormones back to solid stasis, balancing well-being, appetite and sleep cycles. Formulated with ashwagandha, magnolia, and L-theanine, this special formula contains many adaptogens that can help our bodies cope with stressors—like the inflammatory aunt you only see once a year who insists on talking politics over the turkey, for example. Taken as one capsule per day to help you get some zzzs, it’s easy as (pecan) pie. Cortisol Balancer is free from added sugars, flavors, preservatives, yeast, gluten and dairy.

5. Ora Organic Renewable Energy

Pre-workout powders are all the rage. A pre-workout powder isn’t just for jocks, you know. We can all benefit from an extra kick in the pants to get in the right mindset for a grueling pilates session or an hour in the lap pool. Our top choice is Ora Organic’s Renewable Energy. Both the raspberry lemonade and matcha flavors provide a tasty and clean source of energy. This balanced blend is a mix of organic green coffee beans, matcha green tea, and yerba mate. With a total of 90 mg caffeine, it’s enough to get you out the door and into class, but without the jitters. Organic adaptogenic herbs such as ashwagandha, rhodiola root, maca and ginseng support a stable and calm sense of energy. To top it off, it may help recovery after a sweaty workout via the hydrating effects of coconut water. Choose from two flavors, raspberry lemonade or ceremonial matcha.
