Our Top Winter Supplement Recommendations
It's that time of year again... the weather's cold, the nights are dark and the seasonal flu is back doing the rounds.
A well-balanced, nutritious diet covers most of our vitamin & mineral needs, but as some of us struggle to eat well during the busy months, it may be appealing to supplement to help protect our immune system during the winter.
Here are our top supplements for the winter season...
Vitamin D
Vitamin D, the 'sunshine vitamin'. If you live in colder climates during the winter, you will feel the lack of sun more than ever right now.
Many people are deficient in Vitamin D, this could be due to not getting enough sunlight or Vitamin D rich foods. As the sun is a major source of Vitamin D this means that countries that do not experience much sunlight will need to get their Vitamin D through food or supplements.
