The Best Vitamins For Winter

The cold weather can often leave us feeling tired and run down, especially if our vitamin intake is low. We’ve put together a guide to the most important nutrients, so you can feel your best all year long. Here are the best vitamins for winter: 

Vitamin D  

Vitamin D is essential for immune function, (1) bone health (2) and calcium absorption. (3) Our bodies naturally make vitamin D from sunlight, meaning that in the winter months our levels can drop. As a result, the Public Health body of the UK recommends daily supplementation of this vitamin between October and March. 4 

Vitamin K works with vitamin D to regulate out calcium levels, so you might want to supplement both of these important nutrients.  

 

 Vitamin C  

Although vitamin C can’t stop you from catching a cold, studies have shown that it can minimise the amount of time you are ill. The cells in our immune system need vitamin C to function properly, meaning that a deficiency of this nutrient causes reduced resistance to pathogens and illness. (5) Our bodies can’t make vitamin C naturally so it must come from our diet.  

The benefits of vitamin C don’t' stop at immunity. This nutrient is also important for skin health, (6) cell activity and (7) cognitive function, (8) making it an all-round essential for overall wellbeing.

Iron

Iron is an important mineral involved in the transportation of oxygen around the body and the absorption of vitamin C. (11) Iron also helps to regulate out body temperature, making it especially essential for the colder months.

It's estimated that two billion people worldwide suffer from iron deficiency, (12) so if you're struggling with brittle nails, fatigue or hair loss you might want to supplement your levels.
