Most people think hydration is just about drinking more water, but real hydration goes much deeper.

In this episode of Real Talk, we dive into one of the biggest challenges families face every fall—back-to-school immunity. When kids return to classrooms, sports, and after-school activities, they’re not just bringing home homework… they’re also bringing home germs.

Most people don’t think about zinc until they get a cold and grab a lozenge.
