What Are the Best Supplements to Take in Summer?

Your diet and fitness regime often changes with the seasons, and so should the way you support your body with supplements.

 

In the summer, we tend to spend more time outdoors, we’re exposed to more strong sunlight, and the warmer weather means the risk of dehydration can be greater.

With this in mind, here’s the lowdown on the vitamins and supplements you should consider taking to look after your health and wellbeing this summer.

 

Why You Should Take Vitamin C in Summer

 

Vitamin C can provide you with a boost all year round, but it could be especially beneficial in the summer when your skin needs extra support, as vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin.

 

Vitamin C also contributes to the normal function of the immune system. Although summer might not be the typical time for coughs and colds, they can strike at any time, so it’s important to look after your immune system throughout the year.

 

Our Organics Vitamin C Spray comes in a tasty summery orange-tangerine flavour and is designed to support the immune system and promote skin health.

 

 

This oral vitamin spray is convenient and easy to take, so pop it in your bag before you leave the house this summer to support your vitamin C intake.

 

The Benefits of Taking Vitamin D in Summer

 

Vitamin D is often known as the sunshine vitamin, because natural sunlight is one of the best sources of this essential nutrient.

 

But if you spend most of your time indoors or are taking the utmost care to keep your skin protected in the sun, you may not be exposed to much natural sunlight even at the height of summer, meaning you might want to consider taking a vitamin D supplement.

 

Our vanilla-flavoured Organics Vegan Vitamin D3 Spray is an easy way to boost your daily vitamin D intake that’s 100% vegan and organic with no added sugars.

 

 

Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, with this vitamin spray helping to promote calcium absorption for healthy bones. Vitamin D can also contribute to the normal function of the immune system.

 

All-Round Multivitamins for All Year Round

 

We recommend taking multivitamins all year round, not just in the summer, to help support your health and wellbeing goals.

 

Look for a multivitamin formula that’s targeted to you; our Organics range includes multivitamins tailored to men and women, and to different age groups, so you can find a supplement that’s right for you.

 

 

Collagen Builder

 

Looking after your skin is important all year round, but especially so in the summer. Collagen is a key component in skin, but our natural supply begins to decline as we get older, which is why many people turn to collagen supplements for a boost.

 

Our Organics Plant Collagen Builder is a whole food supplement that provides the essential vitamin, Biotin, which helps to support the maintenance of healthy hair and skin.

 

 

This vegan collagen supplement also contains selenium to contribute to the formation of normal nails, as well as vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin.

 

Incorporate our collagen supplements into your morning routine this summer.

 

For a Hydrating Drink at the End of a Summer’s Day

 

Dehydration is more of a risk in warmer weather, so it’s essential to keep your body hydrated by drinking plenty of water.

 

Alongside this, you might like to help replenish your body with important antioxidants to help tackle oxidative stress at the end of a summer’s day, with a little help from our Organics Herbal Golden Powder.

 

 

This formula features antioxidant curcumin from turmeric, fermented ginger root, black pepper and organic coconut water to help with hydration. Mix a scoop with water or plant-based milk at the end of a warm day for a hydrating, replenishing bedtime drink.
