Winter may be a time of cosying up to the fireplace with a blanket or two, but it’s also when health and wellbeing can fall to the wayside. The following brands are passionate about maintaining and improving health all year round, with their hero health products rounded up below:
AMCAL
The Amcal Private Label range offers 600 products from the chemist brand. Among these is the Echinacea ACE Complex Tablets – a supplement to ease symptoms of cold and flu, while boosting immune health. The supplement is formed from echinacea, garlic, zinc, and antioxidant vitamins.
All Natural Kids
Aiding the discomfort of sore throats is All Natural Kids, the children’s brand that provides temporary relief from sore throats, as well as inflamed gums and earaches. The homeopathic formula of the brand’s Mighty Melts is sugar-free and available to those aged two and older.
Be Good to Yourself
Weight management is at the forefront of the Be Good To Yourself brand. Its shake sachets are a fructose-free meal supplement formulated with a decent dose of protein, vitamins and minerals to assist in weight loss and maintenance. As an added bonus, all packages come in individual portions for ease.
Gut health plays an important role in maintaining immunity. Boosting existing gut health is made even easier with Blackmores’ supplement range of superfoods that can be added to meals like smoothies or cereal. The Cacao option combines cacao beans with Probiotics L. acidophilus and Nature Boost Prebiotics.
In Essence
Eucalyptus oil has long been a friend of the head cold – helping to ease congestion and infection. In Essence’s Massage Oil combines eucalyptus with peppermint and pine for a soothing mix to be rubbed onto the chest and back and aid in clearing sinuses.
Swisse
Maca recently hit the health food radar thanks to its myriad of health benefits that assist in boosting energy, reducing fatigue, and supporting healthy mental function. Swisse’s powder is vegan, gluten- and dairy-free, and contains no added sugar.
Brauer Natural Medicine
Winter can also be a time of overeating (and drinking) – to combat the season’s induced bloating and digestion struggles there is Brauer 20 Day Detox. The 20-day program includes homeopathic ingredients such as mountain grape, charcoal and silica, which relieve symptoms such as wind and constipation.
Pharmacy Care
This honey- and lemon-flavoured cough medicine helps to aid symptoms for when a scratchy throat and chest congestion hit. The non-drowsy formula is free from alcohol, lactose and gluten, instead containing dry leaf and bovine lactoferrin.
Qsilica
As its name suggests, the Qsilica supplement is a calcium-focused entity that provides support to strong bones and teeth, as well as boosting the normal growth and functioning of tissue, hair, skin, nails, and joint cartilage.
Aveda
Energy levels are the key concern of Aveda’s Blue Oil Balancing Concentrate. Utilising ancient acupressure techniques and a peppermint and blue chamomile combination, the rollerball applicator helps to ease tension and raise energy levels.
