Packed trains without air conditioning make your morning commute feel like a survival challenge. Energy dips arrive earlier each day when you're dealing with 30-degree heat and restless nights. Plus, there’s brittle hair and dry skin to worry about.

It’s no exaggeration to say that summer is brutal on your body, but thankfully, you can prep yourself for wellness with a few supplements.

Join us below for practical wellness solutions that work.

Hydration

Supplements to consider:

·       Magnesium

·       Calcium, Magnesium & Zinc

Alcohol dehydrates you in ways that water alone struggles to fix the morning after. Magnesium contributes to electrolyte balance - crucial information when you're sweating through your third shirt before lunch.

Expensive coconut water makes big promises, but minerals do the actual work inside your body. Magnesium teams up with calcium and zinc for hydration, providing additional benefits for reducing fatigue.

Focus and mood

Supplements to consider:

·       Vitamin B12 Complex

·       Vitamin B6

·       Magnesium & Vitamin B6

·       Lion’s Mane with Black Pepper

·       Reishi Mushroom Complex

Thirty-degree heat turns simple tasks into Olympic events – even finding car keys becomes an expedition. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal psychological function, essential when juggling Zoom calls from garden chairs between tennis matches.

Wedding season collides with work presentations, whilst your calendar resembles competitive Jenga rather than organised planning.

Vitamin B6 contributes to normal psychological function, supporting your ability to charm relatives at Sunday lunch after Saturday's festival.

Lion's Mane with Black Pepper might help if you're after natural focus support, whilst Reishi Mushroom Complex suits you if traditional approaches appeal.

Natural energy

Supplements to consider:

·       Vitamin C

·       Iron Complex

·       Magnesium

·       Vitamin B Supreme High Potency

You know that feeling when heat makes everything twice as hard? Iron and magnesium both contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, making them summer essentials for anyone who wilts above 20 degrees.

B vitamins become your best friend during busy periods - they contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism, keeping you going when you'd rather collapse.

Vitamin C rounds out the energy support lineup. It contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue whilst supporting immune function - handy when you're exhausted and surrounded by coughing commuters.

Gut health

Supplements to consider:

·       Probiotic Complex

·       Oil of Peppermint

Your digestive system faces a summer assault - BBQ food, ice cream, holiday cocktails. A quality Probiotic Complex helps maintain balance when your eating schedule goes completely off track.

Peppermint oil capsules belong in every travel bag. Traditional use for settling stomachs makes them invaluable, whether you're queasy from winding coach journeys or struggling with spicy street food - quick relief without fuss when you need it most.

Skin and beauty

Supplements to consider:

·       Biotin

·       Zinc with Copper

Swimming pools aren't the only summer beauty challenge - air conditioning dries skin whilst sun exposure fades hair colour. Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and skin throughout these daily assaults.

Zinc does triple duty, contributing to the maintenance of normal skin, hair, and nails - it’s a fantastic supplement whether you're dealing with hard water on holiday or excessive hand washing at festivals.

Copper gets less attention but contributes to normal skin pigmentation. Some people swear by it for maintaining their summer glow and keeping hair colour vibrant despite sun exposure.

Creating your summer routine

Build your supplement strategy around these practical steps to maintain wellness throughout the busy summer months ahead.

Morning routine

·       Keep supplements on bathroom shelves where you'll see them daily

·       Take with breakfast before work or school runs

·       Set phone reminders for the first two weeks

Stay organised

·       Use weekly pill organisers to avoid carrying multiple bottles

·       Pack travel portions in advance for overnight trips

·       Store extras at work for forgotten mornings

Track your progress

·       Note energy levels after two weeks of consistent use

·       Adjust the timing if supplements work better with lunch

·       Review your choices monthly as activities change

Summing up - making the most of summer wellness

Building a supplement routine takes trial and error. Some combinations work brilliantly - magnesium and B6 together, zinc with copper - whilst others might overlap unnecessarily.

Supplements work best as part of your overall approach to feeling good during the summer months. The EU register helps you spot genuine benefits versus marketing fluff - worth checking before buying anything new.
