Stay Well This Summer: How to Support Your Immune System in the Off-Season

Hands hold a grapefruit half and assorted pills, against a blue shirt background. The image contrasts natural and medicinal health choices.

Summer is the season of sunshine, vacations, and outdoor fun—not exactly the time of year we associate with getting sick. But here’s the twist: your immune system doesn’t take the summer off.


Between travel, changing routines, increased social activities, and even too much sun, your body still needs support to stay healthy. At Good Day Pharmacy, we’ve got simple, effective ways to help you boost your immunity—without overcomplicating things.


Travel Can Take a Toll

Airports, public restrooms, long road trips, hotel stays—all of these put your immune system to the test. When you’re out of your normal routine (and possibly not getting enough sleep or nutrition), your defenses can dip.


What can help:

  • Immune support packs with Vitamin C, D, and Zinc

  • Travel-size sanitizers and wipes

  • Probiotics to keep your gut—and immune system—balanced while you're on the go


Fuel Your Body with the Right Supplements

Yes, summer salads and fresh fruit are great—but your body might still need a little extra help, especially if you’re dealing with allergies, stress, or sun exposure.


At Good Day Pharmacy, we recommend:

  • Vitamin D3: You might assume you’re getting enough from the sun, but sunscreen and time indoors can lower your levels

  • Vitamin C: Helps support white blood cell function and antioxidant protection

  • Zinc: Essential for immune response and faster recovery

  • Elderberry or Echinacea blends: Great for quick immune boosts before trips or big events


We carry pharmacist-recommended brands, so you’re not just grabbing something off the shelf—you’re getting what actually works.


Don’t Forget About Gut Health

About 70% of your immune system lives in your gut. (Yes, really!) A healthy digestive tract = a stronger, more responsive immune system.

Our go-to? Daily probiotics that support both digestion and immunity. Ask us which strains are best for your needs—we’ll help you find the right fit.

Sleep and Stress Matter More Than You Think

Longer days don’t always mean more rest. Between late nights, busy schedules, and summer socializing, your body can get run down fast.

Support it with:

  • Magnesium supplements for sleep and relaxation

  • Ashwagandha or adaptogens to balance stress

  • Herbal teas or natural sleep aids (yes, we stock those too!)
