There are often mixed responses when it comes to supplements but I truly think the right ones can support you against the natural stresses of our world.
Often, we are all so busy running around from meeting to meeting, client to client, work to the gym that we often miss out on vital nutrients and minerals. This is where I believe supplementation can support our modern lifestyles.
Here are my Recommended Supplements to give you that Vital Boost and Keep you Balanced!

VITL packaging is very easy to use and you can throw the daily packets in your handbag – I couldn’t be without mine!
Pukka
Pukka Herbs are an incredible brand who’s products, teas and supplements are organically created here in the UK. From Sleep to Stress they have a solution to support your daily needs. Due to Pukka’s phenomenal popularity, many people do not realise how committed they are to ayurvedic medicine and organically and naturally produced herbs. This is a company that cares.
Turmeric Lifekind
Is one of my favourite go-to’s to support my daily needs. It naturally supports my system with its anti-inflammatory properties. It comes in a handy little capsule that I pop in my bag to take just before breakfast and morning cup of Detox Tea.
The BBC did a report that found that increasing your intake of turmeric (curcumin) has shown to affect the cells responsible for depression, eczema, asthma and cancer.
“It was really exciting, to be honest. We found one particular gene which showed the biggest difference. And what’s interesting is that we know this particular gene is involved in three specific diseases: depression, asthma and eczema, and cancer. This is a really striking finding.”
There was evidence turmeric is lipophilic which means for it to be absorbed it is best taken with fat…roll on those coconut turmeric eggs!
Sönd Skincare
Have you heard about Sönd? Sönd is a new skincare system for sensitive skin, which harnesses the incredible natural power of silica. Their Energise + Activate supplements are incredible for dull skin and are formulated to replenish your skin with collagen forming silica, and to improve the overall health, function and appearance.
Their packaging is simple and chic and they pride themselves on looking after your body from the inside out as well as topically.
The tablets contain minerals which are also really good for promoting healthy sleep – which is also an added bonus for our skin.
I will keep you updated with my results but anything that will brighten my skin and help me sleep better is always a bonus.
(I showed the ingredients list to a biochemist who was impressed and said she would take these)
Conclusion
There are lots of brands out there pushing vitamins to us that are low quality or full of fillers. Do your research prior to taking supplements and make sure the brand you use know their ingredients.
I hope you find my recommendations useful and informative. I am open and honest with my suggestions and would only recommend products I have tested and used myself. I have run all ingredients past a qualified biochemist to investigate.
