Don’t sweat it, we have your needs covered.
Best supplements to take in summer
To keep summer fun flowing, here is a summer supplement checklist. Based on what is most often recommended by nutritionists seasonally, here are the top supplements to consider when the sun is out in full force.
- Vitamin C and immune boosting support
- Hair and skin support
- Hydration helpers
- Detoxification
- Digestive enzymes
- Collagen
Let’s dive into these a bit more...
Power up your hydration
Staying hydrated to beat the heat and recover after activity means much more than just drinking water. In fact, during sweat and intense exercise, key essential minerals are depleted: magnesium, potassium and sodium to be exact. Sports drinks are often filled with sugar or additives that are not exactly “healthful.”
Alternatives we suggest:
- Electrolytes – essential minerals to maximize hydration, plus
- Electrolytes + Enhanced Collagen - for the added benefits of collagen
Electrolytes play several important roles in the body, including hydration, maintaining water balance, muscle contraction, nerve impulses and temperature regulation. We lose electrolytes when we sweat, lose liquids due to sickness, or consume large amounts of dehydrating substances like alcohol and caffeine.
Electrolytes + Enhanced Collagen™ also includes 5 g of hydrolyzed bovine collagen in every serving.
Make it iced
Keep up with your health, wellness, and beauty, goals but keep it delicious. Using powdered supplements that blend easily into yummy summer recipes such as frozen treats, iced coffees, or milkshakes make it a fun way to keep healthy without compromise.
Taking collagen year-round is recommended, but for summer why not try it iced?
We suggest:
- Chocolate Enhanced Collagen - for summer fun iced chocolate drinks with collagen benefits
- Enhanced Collagen Sleep - if you have a hard time sleeping with the sun staying out later
- Enhanced Collagen Vitality - for delicious iced matcha with added energy
Collagen is great anytime! As the most abundant protein in the body, and one that declines with age, it’s important to supplement it to better support bones, joints, gut, hair, skin and nail health. It’s also important to consume hydrolyzed collagen peptides that your body can digest easily and incorporate into the body.
Protect and glow on the go
Summer brings outings, gatherings and even festivals. Being the year where everything is open once again, you may be considering how to keep summer fun while also upping that immunity with ease. For that there's fizzing tablets for convenient on the go protection and glowing skin so you can look AND feel your best.
We suggest:
- Vitamin D3 – don't stop taking this immune-boosting vitamin, as sunscreen can block exposure
- Instant-C Effervescent – take Vitamin C with you wherever you go for added antioxidant support
- Instant C, D, Zinc Immunity Effervescent – added support of immune boosting essentials
- Effervess – marine collagen with Vitamin C for glowing skin
All the above are convenient to take on the go. Other than the Vitamin D (tincture that you can drop in your mouth or drink), these supplements are in effervescent tablets that you just drop in water, watch fizz and enjoy. Easily enjoy the benefits of boosted health while enjoying your enhanced beverage.
Digestion and detoxification
This summer, keep your gut in order. While eating BBQ, festival food, or fast food, it’s important to ensure that your gut is ready for all the fun to come.
We suggest:
- Probiotic + Prebiotic Powder – to ensure your gut always has a healthy balance of gut flora for immunity and digestion
- Digest Relief – carry these with you for instant relief of indigestion
- Full Spectrum Plant Enzymes – natural plant enzymes that help you digest carbohydrates, fats and protein better
While your diet may be different than in other months, there are two additional items that may be helpful should you be consuming alcohol or have gout this summer.
- Detox Drops - chlorophyll drops to detox which can also help with perspiration
- Goutrin – when indulging in more red meats, this can prevent flareups
This summer feel your best with less sugar, but still loads of fun. Armed with these supplements in hand, make it the best one yet!
