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 strengthen my body with specific dietary supplements...

Probiotics

It is well known that when we take antibiotics, we must help our body with probiotics.

However, it is important after the holidays, when most of us make dietary mistakes, to strengthen our gut health.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is the queen of all vitamins! 

It has powerful antioxidant action, strengthens the immune system, detoxifies, fights inflammation, and synthesizes collagen.

Magnesium

Magnesium is essential for reducing fatigue, stress, cramps, and palpitations, while supporting restful sleep.

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

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 high, so care should be taken when consuming them.

Selenium and zinc

Selenium and zinc are powerful antioxidants, neutralize free radicals, and strengthen the immune system.

For better results, selenium is best combined with vitamin E.

Vitamin D3

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

Perhaps you think that, in a country like Greece, bathed in sunshine for most of the year, such a dietary supplement is not necessary.

And yet, excessive protection from the sun or working indoors makes vitamin D3 intake necessary, especially during the winter months.

Essential Dietary Supplements

Almost everyone will indulge in some dietary mishap 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, every body has different deficiencies and needs, so the use of supplements should not be arbitrary, but under the guidance of specialized doctors.
