Just as you swap out your wardrobe for warm clothing during the winter months, it’s also important to consider the changes you can make to your daily nutritional support to aid your overall wellbeing and immune health.

With the arrival of winter, your immune system is more prone to ills and chills, so you want to make sure you’re doing everything possible to protect yourself and your family.

Vitamin D3 offers many health benefits during the colder months – from supporting mental health and wellbeing during seasonal lows to supporting the immune system and bone health.

With shorter hours of daylight during winter, you’re probably not enjoying as much sunlight. Research suggests that during winter, you should spend up to 30 minutes outside in the sun each day, to absorb the amount of vitamin D your body needs. Lower levels of vitamin D during the darker months can negatively impact your mood and energy levels. It also affects your immune cells which produce fewer antibacterial proteins - this means they are less efficient at killing bugs.

During the winter months, you can also look to zinc to keep your immune system healthy. This essential nutrient plays an important role for many functions in your body, such as supporting your immune system, wound healing, and skin health. It’s important to know that your body doesn’t naturally produce zinc, so you will need to find it through food and supplements.
