Keeping your immune system in top shape can be tough. Enter the biostation, a one-stop shop for optimum health

So, what are you doing to keep your immune system up?

Washing your hands is a great start. But the reality is, you have to take care of what’s happening inside, too. On a regular day you could wander into the store, peruse the aisles for fresh fruits and veggies, grab a bottle of Vitamin C or zinc and rest assured your immune system has a healthy line of defense.

But things aren’t that simple anymore.

If you’re lucky enough to find a bottle of vitamins, you’re limited to that one bottle for a family of four or more. And that’s if you can find them. Adults are even popping Flintstone Vitamins because it’s all they can get their hands on. In a time where health is everyone’s focus and availability is scarce, there are solutions.

The biostation in Midtown Miami is a one-stop shop for all things health. Even though its doors are closed now as a measure to keep both staff and patients safe, the health depot still has ways to keep your immune system at peak performance. A hop over to its website will help you find real, pharmaceutical grade vitamins and supplements. And not what is leftover on barren shelves. For those looking to keep their immune system boosted, consider a cocktail of Advanced Vitamin C Support, Immune Boost, BEssential Multivitamin and bCardio K2D3 (for vitamin d). These vitamins aren’t full of fillers like many you’ll find in stores, which means your body gets more and better quality nutrients. And they can be shipped directly to you, minimizing the amount of contact you have with the outside world and respecting social distancing guidelines.

Beyond wellness

As soon as the biostation, like so many other businesses in Miami, is given the green light to reopen, even more immune boosting tools will be available to patients. IV therapy, like a cocktail of B-Revived with a glutathione push after, brings an essential dose of vitamins straight to the system. There’s also vitamin shots, like b12, to replenish anything lost during the course of your week. Not sleeping well? Feeling zapped of all your energy long before the day is done? Can’t figure out what your system is sensitive to food-wise? Bloodwork to see where hormones levels are and what can be done to balance them out for both him and her, as well as sensitivity and allergy tests, will also help keep you running on all cylinders. And for those who are tapping into their quarantine snacks a little too often, cleanses are also available.

A strong immune system and optimal mental and physical health are truly our best defense to preventing sickness before it starts.

Speaking of mental health, the biostation sponsors free workouts with a different instructor, gym or studio with #freefitfriday each Friday on Instagram live.
