Summer & Supplements: Your natural boost for the sunny months

Summer is the season when we often feel more energetic. Yet this time of year also requires extra support from within. Think exposure to sunlight, higher temperatures, changes in diet and sometimes more physical activity. At Kala Health, you’ll find a number of high-quality supplements that provide excellent support during the summer months.

Below we highlight four interesting supplements, focusing on their composition, scientific background and applications.

Vitamin C (Ester-C®) – Support for oxidative stress

In summer, you often spend more time outside. As a result, you also come into more contact with outside influences, such as sunlight. Ester-C® is a special, patented form of vitamin C that is buffered (i.e. less acidic) and easy to absorb. This form also contains natural metabolites such as threonic acid, which promote absorption in the body.

???? Good to know: Vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. This claim is legally approved.

Magnesium Bisglycinate – For relaxation and balance

Hot days, increased exercise and (sometimes) more erratic sleep patterns may call for nervous system and muscle support. Magnesium bisglycinate is a highly absorbable form of magnesium, bound to the amino acid glycine, and is often well tolerated. During hot days, you also lose more fluids, with magnesium helping to maintain normal balance in the body’s water and mineral balance.

Interesting: Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and muscles. It also helps with fatigue – two factors that certainly come in handy in summer.

MSM – Sulfur compound from nature

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is an organic sulfur compound that occurs naturally in fresh (unprocessed) foods, but is largely lost when heated or processed. Kala Health supplies MSM in pure, distilled form – with no additives or contaminants.

???? Why in the summer?
Heat, exercise or sun exposure can increase your need for foods with sulfur-containing compounds. Although there are no permitted health claims for MSM in Europe, it is researched and valued worldwide within active lifestyles.

Skin, Hair and Nail – Complete care from the inside out

Summer weather often means more sun, sea, wind and air conditioning – all factors that can affect your skin, hair and nails. Kala Health’s Skin, Hair and Nail supplement contains a balanced combination of nutrients such as biotin, zinc, MSM, silica and vitamin C, specially selected for people who want to support their external care from the inside as well.

???? Why just now?
Whereas your skin and hair tend to get drier in the winter due to cold, they can dry out in the summer due to sun and salt.
