Vital supplements in the absense of wholesome foods (was newborn on flight).

[Guest guest]

Thanks to everyone for the help & encouragement for my friends who are

moving to China for a year or so. They just had a baby in Jan, and

the baby had the fever symptoms in its second week. But thankfully,

they were able to ride it. Also Thanks for all the helpful insights

for the baby, during the flights. The couple really appreciated the

help. They are stressed with the busyness in preparation and lack of

time, and the info i passed on to them, from this group, was well

received.

They are planning to leave sometime in March.

From what they know, the place they are going to may not have the

greatest or nice source of whole foods. They may not necessarily get

fresh meat all the time. Also they are told to expect to live off

bottled water, and to be careful of food contamination and pollution.

They do not have 'whole foods' there. The part of China they are

going to, is not the most developed; can look very 'unclean' compared

to USA.

In light of this, can you recommend what may be very vital/helpful

supplements that they can take from here, for 10-12 months (as much

as they can fit in their suitcases). Right now, all they can think of

is, Bio-Kult Probiotics & Garden of Life CLO(has 5000 IU of Vitamin

A).

What may be the best ways for them to keep their immune system in

optimal condition in sub-optimal conditions there.

With much appreciation,

-Dan.
