Winter brings its own set of challenges. Short days, long nights, and cold grey weather can leave even the most optimistic among us feeling a bit ‘meh.’ From tiredness and low mood to stiff joints, dry skin, and an immune system working overtime, it’s clear our bodies need extra support during the colder months.

The right nutrients can make all the difference, but juggling multiple supplements can feel overwhelming. High-quality complexes simplify this by delivering scientifically balanced blends of essential nutrients, tailored to meet your needs.

Let’s explore the best nutrients to keep your immune system strong, your energy levels high, and your skin and joints healthy this winter.

Supplements for immune health in the winter

Your immune system works harder in winter, defending against seasonal illnesses like colds and flu. These nutrients provide the support it needs to keep you well.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a cornerstone of winter wellness, helping to support the immune system, maintain healthy skin, and promote collagen production. Known for its antioxidant properties, vitamin C also supports the production of white blood cells to fight off infections.

For enhanced benefits, Vitamin C + Quercetin Complex is an excellent option. Formulated with added quercetin, citrus bioflavonoids, rutin, and bromelain, it provides targeted support for respiratory health, which is often affected during winter illnesses like the flu.

Vitamin D

With reduced sunlight exposure during the winter months, many people struggle to maintain adequate levels of vitamin D, which can weaken the immune system and contribute to low mood. Vitamin D is essential for regulating immune responses and helps your body fight off seasonal illnesses.

For an easy and effective way to boost your levels, try Vitamin D3 Drops. This easy-to-absorb oil comes with a natural orange flavour and no unnecessary additives. Plus, it contains the D3 form of vitamin D, which is the same form your skin produces in response to sunlight. This makes it easier for your body to absorb and utilise compared to other forms of vitamin D.

Alternatively, for those who don’t like liquids or find capsules or tablets difficult to swallow, Vitamin D3 Lemon Melts offer a convenient solution. These small, tasty, lemon-flavored tablets provide 2000 IU of vitamin D3 and can be chewed or melted under the tongue, making them perfect for quick, hassle-free supplementation.

Zinc

Zinc is an essential mineral for immune health and skin repair, making it a must-have during winter. It plays a critical role in immune cell function, helping your body respond to infections more effectively. Zinc also supports the skin’s ability to heal and repair itself, which is particularly beneficial for combating winter dryness and irritation.

Our Zinc Picolinate is a highly absorbable form of zinc, designed for better bioavailability and more efficient uptake by the body. We've also combined it with a small amount of vitamin C to further support the immune system, enhancing zinc’s ability to fight off infections and keep your defences strong during the colder months.

For a convenient all-in-one solution, consider Immune Protect, a once-daily capsule designed to provide the powerful combination of vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc, selenium, and quercetin. This formula was carefully crafted to support immune function with well-absorbed, optimal forms of these key nutrients, making it an easy and effective way for adults and children over the age of 10 to support their immune systems throughout the winter or year-round.

Supplements for beating winter fatigue

Winter’s shorter days and colder temperatures can sap your energy. These nutrients can help combat tiredness and keep you feeling vibrant.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is essential for energy production and red blood cell formation. Low levels of B12 can leave you feeling fatigued and sluggish, especially during the darker winter months when energy levels naturally dip.

For a comprehensive approach, our Vitamin B Complex combines high-strength B12 with seven other essential B vitamins, along with inositol, choline, and PABA. This powerful blend supports energy production to help reduce tiredness and fatigue.

Magnesium

Magnesium plays a vital role in over 300 biochemical processes in the body, including energy production, muscle function, and maintaining a healthy nervous system. During the winter months, magnesium is especially helpful for combating fatigue and promoting relaxation, both of which are crucial when you’re feeling drained from shorter days and long nights.

For a highly absorbable form of magnesium, consider Magnesium Glycinate tablets. This gentle, bioavailable form is less likely to cause digestive upset, making it ideal for those seeking an effective magnesium supplement.

For added support, we recommend MegaMag Energen Plus, a powerful formula that combines magnesium with a range of energy-supporting nutrients. This includes vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B5, along with malic acid and N-acetyl-L-carnitine, all in therapeutic doses to support the metabolic processes involved in producing energy.

Supplements for healthy joints and glowing skin in winter

As the wintry weather sets in, both your skin and joints can suffer, with dry, irritated skin and stiff, uncomfortable joints being common issues during the winter months. While vitamin C and zinc are effective for supporting skin health and collagen production, there are a couple of other key nutrients that should be added into the mix to provide comprehensive support for healthy, glowing skin and flexible, pain-free joints throughout the season.

Omega-3 fatty acids

Omega-3 fatty acids are a winter essential for both skin and joint health. For skin, omega-3s help support the skin’s natural barrier, keeping it hydrated and protecting it from the drying effects of chilly weather. For joints, omega-3s work to reduce stiffness and discomfort, making movement easier – even on frosty mornings.

Our Omegagenics Regular Strength provides 500mg of EPA and DHA in the optimal 3:2 ratio naturally found in oily fish, all conveniently packed into a one-a-day capsule. For those seeking a higher dose, our Omegagenics High Strength delivers 1000mg of EPA and DHA per capsule and is IFOS-certified, ensuring premium quality, high potency, and purity, with a commitment to sustainability.

Collagen

Collagen is a vital structural protein found in skin, joints, and connective tissues. As we age, collagen production naturally declines, and during winter, this can lead to dry, lacklustre skin and stiff, achy joints. Supplementing with collagen can help maintain skin elasticity, promote smoothness, and support joint flexibility and bone health.

For those prioritising joint and bone health, our Collagen Forte is an excellent choice. This unique formulation provides high-dose, bioavailable collagen alongside a targeted and synergistic blend of nutrients, including chondroitin sulphate, glucosamine, and MSM, to support joint health, bone strength, and overall connective tissue integrity.

If your focus is on skin health, consider Skin, Hair + Nails, which combines collagen with maritime pine bark extract to improve skin firmness and smoothness. It also features astaxanthin, CoQ10, and biotin, which work together to enhance skin elasticity, hydration, and overall skin vitality. This comprehensive formula is ideal for those looking to maintain a glowing complexion throughout the colder months.
