Travel supplements & vitamins to help support optimal health
We've compiled a strategic selection of vitamins, minerals and other targeted supplements that can help you stay healthy and energised throughout your holiday.
Bridge the nutrition gap – Multivitamin and mineral formulations can help support your nutrient intake while on a trip, where access to fresh healthy foods and cooking facilities may be limited.
Immunity – Travelling can expose the body to new environments, foods and drinking water. Supporting the immune system with nutrients such as vitamin C, D, zinc and beta-glucans, alongside other polyphenols such as quercetin, can help you keep on top of your health.
Digestion – Different cuisines, meal timings and unfamiliar water can often cause some digestive upset. Probiotic supplements can help rebalance the gut bacteria and support digestive health. An antimicrobial complex such as our Caprylic Acid Plus, as well as targeted bacteria strains such as Saccharomyces Boulardii, can also be beneficial if you do experience digestive issues while away.
Jet lag and sleep – Inadequate sleep can have a detrimental effect on our health. The major factor involved in sleep initiation is the neurotransmitter melatonin, which is known as the "sleep hormone". Melatonin is produced from serotonin, which is stimulated by daylight. When in darkness, the pineal gland detects the lack of light and initiates the conversion of serotonin to melatonin. Many nutrients are required for this conversion, including magnesium and vitamin B6. Fatigue and poor sleep are some of the many symptoms experienced when crossing time zones, due to the disruption to the natural sleep-wake cycle. Nutrients such as 5HTP, magnesium and B6 as well as Montmorency cherry, hops and glycine can support better sleep and help the body to adjust to new time zones.
Stress – Travel organisation and busy days can take its toll on your stress levels. Nutrients that can be rapidly depleted during the stress response include magnesium, B vitamins and vitamin C, and so supplementing with these can help calm the body and mind and allow you to better enjoy your trip.
Energy – Long flights, poor sleep and busy itineraries can affect your energy and vitality. Supporting the body with a range of nutrients including B vitamins, magnesium and antioxidant nutrients can help keep you energised throughout your trip.
Our comprehensive range of safe, gentle and effective supplements are designed to help minimise the effects that travel can have on the body.

What are the best supplements to take on holiday?
A multivitamin and mineral – to bridge the nutrition gap and ensure the best nutrient intake when access to healthy foods that you normally eat can be limited. This gives you a peace of mind that your nutrient levels are covered.
B Vitamins and magnesium – can support energy production, nervous system health and stress.
Immune supportive nutrients – such as vitamins C and D, zinc, beta glucans and other polyphenols such as quercetin to support your immune system when exposed to new environments, foods and water.
Probiotics – a targeted mix of bacteria can support the balance of the microbiome and help keep digestion running smoothly. Other supplements can be taken in case of digestive issues such as caprylic acid and Saccharomyces Boulardii.
Cyto-Night - Montmorency cherry is a natural source of melatonin, the neurotransmitter responsible for the induction of sleep. Melatonin contributes to the reduction of time taken to fall asleep. Our Cyto-Night contains other key ingredients such as magnesium, hops and glycine. 5HTP plus – 5HTP alongside magnesium and B6 can improve melatonin production to support sleep onset and duration.
