Summer vitamins: make the most of the season!
Vitamines
Summer has arrived, and that means we can fully enjoy the sun, outdoor activities, and vacations. But did you know your body also needs different vitamins during these warm months? In this blog post, we'll take a look at the essential vitamins that can support you during the summer. This way, you can get the most out of yourself this season!
Vitamin C – sunshine for your immune system
Even in warm weather, it's important to support your immune system. That's why vitamin C is a good vitamin to take during the summer months. Vitamin C is also important for collagen production, which helps firm the skin. Many fruits are rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, strawberries, and kiwis. If you still need an extra vitamin C supplement, you can find it in our Multi , Hair, and Immunity gummies, among others.
Vitamin A, vitamin E, zinc and collagen - for healthy skin
Vitamin A
Besides supporting your immune system, it's also important to protect your skin in the summer. Vitamin A, also known as the glow vitamin, plays a key role in maintaining healthy skin. It nourishes the skin from within and also supports its regenerative capacity.
Vitamin E
Sun damage can lead to premature skin aging. Vitamin E is an antioxidant. This vitamin helps protect cells from oxidative damage caused by UV radiation and air pollution. It also scavenges free radicals.
Zinc
This is an important vitamin for the skin. It helps keep the skin healthy, supports its regenerative capacity, and nourishes it from within. In summer, skin is exposed to more sun, which can lead to oxidative stress and free radical damage. Fortunately, zinc helps protect cells from the effects of pollution and sunlight.
Looking for vitamin A, vitamin E, and zinc supplements? You'll find them in these gummies, among others: Hair , Multi , Vegan Iron Complex , and Kids Multi .
Collagen
Collagen is a vital building block of the skin. Several things can negatively impact collagen in your body, such as sugar, stress, smoking, caffeine, and alcohol, as well as UV radiation. You often hear that the sun causes wrinkles, but it's actually the number one cause of skin aging. Did you know that this is partly because solar radiation can cause DNA damage in the cells that produce collagen? Besides applying SPF to prevent this, it also helps to eat a collagen-rich diet or take a collagen supplement in the form of powder or gummies .
Vitamin D and magnesium – radiant through the summer
Vitamin D
During the summer, there's nothing quite like feeling the warm rays of sunshine on your skin. Did you know that the sun is a natural source of vitamin D? Vitamin D contributes to strong bones, a healthy immune system, and can improve your mood. So get outside, enjoy the sunshine, and let your body produce vitamin D. Don't forget to protect your skin with a sunscreen with a high SPF. If you don't get enough outdoors or are in a risk group that requires vitamin D supplementation, Sunny D3 gummies can help you supplement your vitamin D levels with your daily diet.
Magnesium
This vitamin isn't just good for your mood; magnesium also helps maintain a healthy electrolyte balance. This is important for maintaining fluid balance, among other things. It also plays a role in maintaining supple and strong muscles and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. The perfect partner for dancing the night away on long summer nights! View our Magnesium here.
Make the most of the summer season by enjoying the sun, healthy eating, and perhaps a supplemental gummy. This way, you'll keep your body and skin radiant during those hot summer days!
