Immune health during the cold Winter months.
We all live life at a frenetic pace and frankly don’t have time to slow down. Which means staying fit and well is top of mind for most of us, especially as we move from Summer into the colder Winter months.
Having a holistic approach to daily wellbeing and immune health means finding “me-time”, exercising and eating a well-balanced and nutritious diet that focuses on foods that support your immune system like berries, citrus fruits and nuts.
Incorporating foods that are good for gut microbiome may be a good idea too, as we now know a diverse gut microbiome is critical to the function of our immune systems.Such as:
- Kimchi
- Kombucha
- Your favourite yoghurt
Conversely, a diet that’s low in nutrients and fibre — such as calorie-laden fast or processed foods — is associated with a less diverse gut microbiome and an immune system that is less likely to fight off those dreaded winter bugs!
We can take comfort in our an old family soup recipe or a tried and trusted hot toddy to help us through Winter, but most of us will also turn to our favourite go-to Winter supplements like vitamin C or D3. But, if you’re looking for something new, innovative and science-based to minimise down-days in winter? Live bacterial strains are showing great promise in supporting immune defences, in particular Lactobacillus plantarum HEAL9 and Lactobacillus paracasei 8700
So, next time you decide it’s time to top-up on your go-to Winter supplements, have a look out for a comprehensive immune complex which can help balance and maintain the immune system to keep you well this Winter.
Support your immune system this Winter and take a look at our Immunity focussed collection of vitamins and supplements.

Vitamin C Boost
A pleasant and quick way of taking in Vit C. Ester C plus is a more absorbable form with more benefits than standard Vit C. Essential to take when getting a cold. It cut down my last cold with a week and gave my body the boost it needed.

Ashwagandha
You have been supplying me with Ashwagandha for approximately four years because I have a low immune system, I have my first cold in all that time.
