Top 5 Supplements For Summer Health

Jun 23, 2021 / by Alive + Well

Summertime means cookouts, outdoor adventures and sunny days on the beach. But don't let summer fun derail your wellness goals and protocols.

Here are 5 of our favorite supplements you might consider adding to your summer routine.

Electrolytes & Trace Minerals

Plain water isn't always adequate to keep the body fully hydrated during the hot summer months. Consider adding a high quality electrolyte mix to your water bottle in the morning (but avoid the brightly colored, sugary sports drinks!)

LMNT is a favorite right now. It offers electrolytes in the perfect ratio -1000mg sodium, 200mg potassium, 60mg magnesium - without the sugar or artificial flavors.

Collagen

In order to keep skin & hair looking nourished and healthy throughout the summer, try collagen. Plus, collagen may even help reduce cellulite and stretch marks.

 

Great Lakes Collagen, sourced from grass-fed, pasture raised cows, is a great tasteless addition to your morning coffee or smoothie.

 

Probiotics

While traveling, it's important to replenish the good intestinal bacteria that keep digestion in check. A probiotic can reduce bloating, constipation and other digestive ailments that can put a damper on travel plans.

 

MegaSporeBiotic is a spore-based, broad-spectrum probiotic clinically shown to maintain healthy gut barrier function - and it's perfect for travel since it doesn't require refrigeration. 

 

Sleep Support

summer brings long days, crazy travel schedules and jet lag - which makes it hard to get a good night's sleep. Melatoninmagnesium and CBD may be your new summer besties.

 

Rumi Dream is a popular new product that offers an Herbal Sleep Tonic with CBD & CBG.

 

Allergy Protection

Nothing ruins outdoor plans faster than seasonal allergies (or the drowsy side effects of over-the-counter allergy meds). Pack some natural protection to keep sneezing and itchy eyes under control.

 

Aller-DMG Chewables are a favorite allergy supplement for both kids and adults.

 

Sun Protection

Of course we all know the importance of wearing SPF every day during the hot, sunny months. But don't forget to treat your skin to some "after-sun" care to deeply nourish and rehydrate the skin cells.

 

After Sun Balm lather on this cooling, delicious aromatic virgin coconut oil blended with aloe vera gel and soothing herbs.
