With all types of sicknesses ‘going round’ at this time of year, a top up of supplements has been on the cards for Whitsunday locals looking to keep themselves in tip-top shape – and there’s no better place than Goodness Gracious.
Owner of Goodness Gracious Health Food & Supplements, Helen Pike, said that this was the time to act on preventative care and to get your holistic products that support the immune system's health.
“We should be eating fresh fruit and veggies, lots of juices, and to add to that, we have a good immune system boosting vitamins in store,” Ms Pike said.
“It’s very important this time of year to stay on top of that system, and through healthy eating that can be addressed, but for that extra protection I have two products.”
Those products are the Astra 8 – an enhancer for the immune defences which helps decrease the frequency of common colds – and the ActiViral, which helps once you’ve already fallen sick.
But now is the time to be building your immune system, Ms Pike said, there’s no point in waiting “until it’s too late.”
“It reduces the severity because you’re already taking something, and then if you back that up with a healthy diet, you’re in the green!” she said.
“You should be protecting yourself as much as you can – there are some nasty bugs going around at the moment.”
But that’s not all that Goodness Gracious offers at its Whitsunday Shopping Centre storefront. The long-standing Health Food store has just that – healthy foods galore.
“We reinvented ourselves and added those food products; big gluten free and keto ranges that are a nutritional haven,” Ms Pike said.
“People are very surprised about the treasure trove of health foods we have when they come in.”
Goodness Gracious is open 9.00am to 5.00pm Monday through Friday, and Saturdays and Sundays 9.00am to 1.00pm.
Drop in and buy yourself a treat, or keep that cold at bay.
