Summertime is sunshine time – we're more active, spend more hours outdoors, and enjoy life to the fullest. At the same time, summer also places special demands on our bodies: heat, UV radiation, sweat loss, travel, or intense exercise can change our nutrient needs.
Which supplements are particularly useful in summer?
Antioxidants – Protection for Skin and Cells
Strong sun means strong UV radiation – and this promotes the formation of free radicals in the body. Antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E, or the particularly potent astaxanthin help neutralize these.
Tip: Astaxanthin is considered an "internal sunscreen" – it can make the skin more resistant to light and is often taken before and during the summer months. Astaxanthin is lipophilic → needs fat to be absorbed by the body.
Electrolytes – Balance in Heat & Exercise
Sweating is healthy, but: The body loses important minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and sodium. Electrolytes can help maintain fluid and mineral balance, especially during intense exercise or in hot temperatures.
Omega-3 fatty acids – for skin, heart, and focus
Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory effects, support skin regeneration, and strengthen the heart and brain. These fatty acids are especially valuable in summer, when the body has to perform at a higher level due to sun exposure, travel, or stress..
Sustainable alternative: Algae oil – plant-based, with no fishy taste, and packed with DHA and EPA. Have you heard of our Algae Oil Powder?
Beta-carotene – tan from within
Carotenoids such as beta-carotene (e.g., from carrots, sweet potatoes, or microalgae) support a healthy tan from within and also have antioxidant properties. They give the skin a subtle glow and prepare it for sun exposure.
Beta-carotene is also lipophilic → requires fat to be absorbed by the body.
Adaptogens – inner balance despite the summer hustle and bustle
Whether it's heat, long days, or vacation planning – summer can also be stressful. Adaptogens like Ashwagandha help the body cope better with stress and stay balanced.
Ideal: For frequent travelers, parents, or people with busy schedules.
Probiotics – strong intestinal flora for on the go
Traveling often also means new eating habits, different hygiene standards, and a stressed stomach. Probiotics can help strengthen the intestinal flora and prevent digestive problems while traveling.
