- Go outside in all kinds of weather (severe not included).

Vitamins work best when you stick to a routine. But sometimes, it can be a struggle to insert another thing into your daily routine. Here are some tips for establishing this good habit:

💊 Keep stocked. The biggest reason people fall out of taking their vitamins is running out and forgetting to reorder.
