Why You Should Still Take Supplements in the Summer

Think summer means you can skip your supplements? Think again!

In this episode, we dive into why maintaining your supplement routine is just as important during the sunny months. While longer days, fresh fruits and vegetables, and more outdoor time seem to promise all the nutrients we need, the reality isn’t quite so simple.

We explore why key nutrients — like vitamin D, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and vitamin C — remain essential all year round, including summer. You’ll learn:

• The Vitamin D myth — why even plenty of sunshine might not top up your levels as much as you think.
• The hidden role of magnesium — the crucial “key” that helps your body activate and use vitamin D effectively.
• Omega-3s for brain and heart health — why your summer diet might still fall short.
• Zinc’s summer importance — how sweat and outdoor activity increase your need for this tiny but mighty mineral.
• Vitamin C’s role in sun defence — protecting your skin from free radicals and supporting collagen.

We also touch on other important nutrients like B vitamins, probiotics, electrolytes, and iron — all of which deserve attention even when the weather is warm.

Summer brings many health perks, but it isn’t a free pass to neglect your nutritional needs. Whether you’re an active adventurer, a sun worshipper, or simply enjoying lighter meals, supplements can help you stay energised, support your immune system, and protect your skin.

🎧 Tune in to discover why a proactive, year-round approach to nutrition is key — and how to personalise your supplement routine to thrive through every season.
