Being a health hero is not always easy, and like most heroes, you may need support to help regain your balance.

Below are some Solgar suggestions to keep your superpowers strong!

A simple mineral deficiency is some people’s kryptonite, zapping energy and strength, and leaving them feeling drained, lightheaded, pale and feeling the cold, and sometimes with an unusual craving for ice or dirt. A blood test can always check if low iron is a problem. This can be a reoccurring battle for some; hence the importance of recognising your body’s low iron indicators and increasing it is critical. Increasing iron from your diet can be challenging, especially for those who do not eat red meat. Ordinary iron supplements are notorious for digestive side effects and discomfort, which can result in inconsistent taking of the iron supplements. Solgar has recognized this issue and created Gentle Iron. For those who battle with low iron levels, Solgar Gentle Iron is gentler on your digestive system and vegan-friendly.           

When a busy life is your health vulnerability, ashwagandha is often the supplement of choice to support your body’s response to stress. Used for hundreds of years and now with scientific backing, ashwagandha supports your body to adapt to stressors and restore balance, energy, sleep, a healthy mood and general wellbeing. Solgar Ashwagandha Root Extract provides an option with standardised ashwagandha with whole herbal powder to ensure all the synergistic and beneficial qualities found in nature.       

When joints get cranky and overstressed, flexibility can be affected too. It’s then time to think about joint-supporting supplements. These can come in many forms, but those looking to get back to an active lifestyle consider Solgar 7. This supports many pathways to balance joint stressors, structurally supporting collagen building blocks while simultaneously supporting your body’s natural range of motion and joint flexibility.  Solgar 7 includes advanced boswellia and UC-II (Undenatured collagen), alongside a complex of traditional pepper spices and turmeric, while Ester-C® (vitamin C) supports collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage and bones.

A champion for supporting strong bones, mood, muscle health and your immune system is the sunshine vitamin – vitamin D comes to the rescue! This hero nutrient is depleted during winter months when darker, shorter days use up your body’s reserves.  Those who are more vulnerable to low vitamin D typically spend most of their time indoors, use sunscreen, have darker skin tones, are older than sixty-five or have fat absorption problems. If you need additional vitamin D, daily top-up can be easy with Solgar Vitamin D3 1000IU chewable capsules.

Wintertime brings out the villains that comprise your resilience and can leave you struggling. This is the time when you may search for an adjunctive comprehensive nutrient support for your superheroes within. Supporting your body’s natural defences, Solgar Ester-C® Plus Immune complex includes Ester-C®, a unique form of vitamin C that is non-acidic and gentle on your stomach, together with immune-supporting nutrients – vitamins A, B6, B12, and D3, zinc, and the herbs elderberry, echinacea and astragalus.
