In recent years, dietary supplements have become our allies in health, wellness, youth, and beauty.

Although they do not replace any meal, they complement and enhance a balanced diet.

Always after the holidays, I take probiotics for a month and the following month I boost my body with specific dietary supplements...

Probiotics

It is well known that when we take antibiotics, we need to support our body with probiotics.

However, it is important that after the holidays, when most of us fall into dietary pitfalls, we strengthen our gut health.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is the queen of all vitamins! 

It has strong antioxidant properties, boosts the immune system, detoxifies, fights inflammation, and synthesizes collagen.

Magnesium

Magnesium is essential for reducing fatigue, anxiety, cramps, and palpitations, while supporting a peaceful sleep.

It improves mood and inner calm, which is why it is known as the "salt of inner peace"!

Omega 3 Fatty Acids

Omega 3 fatty acids are essential for the proper functioning of the heart, brain, and eyes.

The best source of Omega 3 is fatty fish, such as salmon and sardines. However, their content of heavy metals and toxins is now significant, so caution is advised in their consumption.

Selenium and zinc

Selenium and zinc are powerful antioxidants, neutralizing free radicals and boosting the immune system.

For better results, selenium is good to combine with vitamin E.

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3, known as the sunshine vitamin, plays an important role in maintaining good mental health, as well as the health of bones and teeth.

You might think that in a country like Greece, which is bathed in sunlight for most of the year, such a dietary supplement is unnecessary.

However, excessive sun protection or working indoors makes the intake of vitamin D3 essential, especially during the winter months.

Essential Dietary Supplements

Almost everyone will indulge in some dietary slip-up during summer vacations. When we return, it is essential to help our body recover and strengthen it for the upcoming winter…

For me, probiotics, vitamin C, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D3, selenium, and zinc are essential dietary supplements.

Of course, each body has different deficiencies and needs, so the use of supplements should not be done arbitrarily, but under the guidance of specialized doctors.
