Collection: Summer fitness

Summer supplements support the body, which works at a higher rate during the warmer months. Heat, increased physical activity and travel mean you lose water, electrolytes and energy more quickly, so you need to take a more conscious approach to staying in shape. In the ‘Summer Fitness’ collection, we’ve brought together Vitaler’s pure supplements to help you get through the season in good shape – with no unnecessary additives and transparent ingredients. If you’re not sure where to start, check out our guide summer supplements – which ones for what.

What your body needs most in summer

When you sweat, you lose electrolytes above all else. Magnesium and potassium help your muscles function properly, and magnesium also helps maintain electrolyte balance, which is important on hot, active days. When energy levels drop faster than usual, it’s worth boosting your daily energy – magnesium, vitamin C and vitamins B6 and B12 help reduce feelings of tiredness and fatigue.

In summer, the importance of protection also increases. Vitamin C helps the immune system function properly and protects cells from oxidative stress, whilst zinc helps maintain healthy skin. Beta-carotene is worth considering as a plant-based precursor to vitamin A, which also helps maintain healthy skin. Ingredients such as coenzyme Q10 and collagen are receiving increasing attention in research – studies have examined their role in relation to cellular energy and skin condition, although these claims are not included in the EU register. For active people, creatine can be important, as it increases physical performance during short, repeated, high-intensity exercises when taken at a dose of 3 g per day.

How to choose supplements for the summer

The form of an ingredient affects ease of use. Easily absorbed compounds, such as magnesium citrate or potassium citrate, are a convenient choice for everyday use, whilst powdered isotonic drinks can be easily dissolved in a water bottle before a workout or a walk in the sun. If you’re building a more comprehensive routine, electrolytes naturally complement other minerals, and those training in the summer will find complementary products in the sport and recovery category.

Pay attention to the dosage and purity of the formula. The simpler the composition, the easier it is to tailor the supplement to your individual needs and to the other products in your daily regimen.

Vitaler’s pure formulation for the whole season

All products in the Summer Fitness collection are produced in line with the brand’s philosophy – a pure formulation without unnecessary additives, artificial colourings or fillers.
