Supplements To Include In Your Winter Arsenal

Our bodies sometimes need extra support. And this is particularly true in cold weather.

And it’s not always possible to get the nutrients we need through diet alone.

Lifestyle factors like restrictive diets and busy routines, make it challenging to meet our daily requirements. Couple this with nutrient-depleted soil from modern farming and you can see why taking supplements becomes essential for peak good health.

Plus, the combination of cold weather and indoor heating can leave your skin dry and your respiratory health in a fragile state. Winter is prime season for colds and flu, so boosting immunity becomes more crucial than ever.

First things first: winter is dehydrating.

Indoor heating and colder temperatures pull moisture from your skin and body. You might also feel less thirsty in winter, which can lead to dehydration without you realizing it.

So aim to drink at least 2-3 liters of water each day to stay fully hydrated.

Adding fresh lemon juice and a pinch of turmeric to your water not only gives you a refreshing boost but also provides vitamin C and antioxidant support to kickstart your immune defences.

And while water is essential, staying hydrated with these vitamins and nutrients will give your body the winter support it needs.

Let’s dive into the must-have vitamins, minerals, and supplements that give your body the boost it needs during the colder months.

• Vitamin C
  When it comes to immunity, Vitamin C is a must. 
  Known for its powerful antioxidant properties, it helps to fight off infections and strengthens the immune system, which can be especially vulnerable during winter. 
  Plus, it promotes collagen production for healthy, resilient skin.
  
  
• Vitamin D
  Shorter days mean less sun exposure, which in turn reduces our body’s natural production of vitamin D. This essential vitamin plays a vital role in bone health, immune function, and mood regulation. 
  A high-quality vitamin D supplement keeps your energy up, your bones strong, and your immune system well-prepped to combat winter bugs.
  
  
• B Vitamins
  The B-complex vitamins are essential for energy production and stress management—two factors that can be depleted by winter fatigue and holiday stress. 
  B vitamins support cellular health, help convert food into energy, and boost cognitive function, keeping you feeling sharp and balanced.
  
  
• Zinc
  Zinc is another powerful immune-boosting nutrient that helps the body ward off colds and other infections. It also promotes faster wound healing and supports skin health, which is key in winter’s harsher conditions.
  
  All of these powerhouse nutrients are included in our ULTIMATE GLOW MULTIVITAMIN. Packed with 19 essential vitamins and minerals, it’s formulated to boost your body’s defences against oxidative damage, promote immune function, and support healthy aging. 
  It also includes:
  
  
• Natural Antioxidants
  Antioxidants are crucial for winter wellness - defending your body against signs of aging, reducing inflammation, and supporting overall immune function. 
  Including these in your winter routine can help maintain youthful skin, bolster immunity, and support longevity.
  
  
• Immune-Boosting Herbs
  Immunity-supporting herbs are a natural way to keep your immune system ready for whatever winter throws your way. 
  Ingredients like echinacea, elderberry, and astragalus are known to enhance immune resilience and can make a noticeable difference in your body’s defence mechanisms.

A balanced gut microbiome keeps your immune system strong. Probiotics support gut health, which, in turn, plays a huge role in immunity and overall wellness.

Our NOURISH YOUR GUT – Probiotics formula offers a blend of beneficial bacteria strains to promote optimal gut health, helping to fend off harmful bacteria and enhance nutrient absorption.

Beta glucans, especially those found in mushrooms, are known for their immune-boosting properties. 
Studies show that beta glucans can stimulate immune cells, helping them recognize and fight off harmful pathogens more effectively.

Our ORGANIC MUSHROOM BLEND is a convenient way to add this powerful ingredient to your winter wellness routine, offering a natural boost to your immune function.

Sleep is essential year-round, but winter increases your body’s need for quality rest.

The colder weather can be demanding, and restorative sleep is crucial for immune support, mental clarity, and energy levels.

Our ELITE SLEEP GUMMIES supplement, featuring melatonin, is naturally designed to help you achieve deeper, uninterrupted rest, so you wake up refreshed and ready to tackle the day.

What are the best vitamins for winter immunity?
Vitamins C, D, and zinc are particularly effective for supporting immune function in winter. These work together to strengthen your body’s defences.

How much water should I drink in winter?
Aim for at least 2-3 liters daily. You can enhance hydration by adding lemon and turmeric to support immunity and digestion.

Can supplements really help with winter fatigue?
Yes, supplements like the B vitamins, vitamin D, and adaptogenic herbs can help you manage winter fatigue and stay energized.

Why are probiotics important in winter?
A healthy gut boosts immunity. Probiotics support gut health, which can reduce the risk of infections.

Do I need more sleep in winter?
Our bodies naturally crave more rest in winter. Quality sleep helps restore energy and strengthens immunity.

Winter is the season to fortify your health with the right supplements. From essential vitamins like C and D to powerful immune-boosters like beta glucans, these additions can help you thrive even when the temperature drops.

Adding our ULTIMATE GLOW Multivitamin, NOURISH YOUR GUT Probiotics, and ORGANIC MUSHROOM BLEND to your skincare routine ensures you’re ready to face winter’s challenges head-on, keeping your immunity strong, your skin radiant, and your energy levels high.

RESPECT FOR YOUR SKIN
