It’s a new omega essential fatty acid supplement from New Chapter, and I am pretty excited about it. It’s called Wholemega (what a great name!), and it may be my new omega supplement of choice.

Posted by Ben:Earlier this week, I started a three-part series focusing on one topic, seasonal wellness. In Part 1, I discussed how
silver is good for immune system support. On Wednesday, for Part 2, I explored the world of Homeopathic medicine by talking about the
flu-fighting benefits of Oscillococcinum. Today, however, is a bonus. Why? Because today I’m going to cover three products that are great for seasonal wellness and immune support.
