Dietary supplements and seasonality: the annual supplementation calendar

10/06/2026

Changes in light, temperature, diet or lifestyle… Your body doesn’t cope with every season in the same way. Find out how to adapt your dietary supplements wisely throughout the year.

📌︎ Key takeaways
  • ✓Seasonal changes influence certain physiological parameters, particularly circadian rhythms and vitamin D levels.
  • ✓In spring, the focus can be on vitality, liver support and defences against seasonal allergens.
  • ✓In summer, antioxidants and flavonoids help manage sun exposure, whilst melatonin can occasionally help you fall asleep.
  • ✓In autumn, probiotics, zinc and vitamin C help prepare the body nutritionally for the colder months.
  • ✓In winter, reduced exposure to UV light very often calls for vitamin D supplementation.

Probiotics and the gut: understanding and optimising your microbiota

Probiotics and the gut have a complex relationship. Far from being simply ‘good bacteria’, these microorganisms interact with a unique ecosystem: the microbiota. Find out how to better understand and maintain it.

📌︎ Key takeaways
  • ✓The gut microbiota comprises between 1,000 and 100,000 billion microorganisms, mainly concentrated in the colon.
  • ✓Probiotics do not establish a long-term presence in the gut, which is why it is beneficial to take them regularly or repeat courses as needed.
  • ✓The properties of probiotics depend closely on the strains used.
  • ✓CFU dosage, freeze-drying and gastro-resistant coating are key criteria for choosing the right supplement.
  • ✓Prebiotics, such as inulin and FOS, act as ‘food’ for certain gut bacteria and optimize their colonisation and activity.

Osteoarthritis of the hands: a clinical trial tests the turmeric-boswellia combination

Osteoarthritis of the hands can make many everyday tasks difficult. Whilst studies on plant extracts have mainly focused on the knee, a new clinical trial is investigating the potential effects of the turmeric-boswellia combination on osteoarthritis of the hands.

📌︎ Key takeaways
  • ✓ A clinical study evaluated a combination of turmeric and boswellia in 162 people with symptomatic osteoarthritis of the hands.
  • ✓After three months, the reduction in self-reported pain was greater with the study formula than with the placebo.
  • ✓The trial focused on symptoms and did not assess any changes to the cartilage or the disease itself.
  • ✓There are various turmeric and boswellia-based supplement formulations available.
  • ✓Dietary supplements are not a substitute for medical management of osteoarthritis.

Immunosenescence: a clinical study reveals a promising avenue

Immunosenescence is currently one of the major challenges facing longevity research. A recent clinical study appears to have identified a natural compound that may influence certain markers of immune aging.

✦ Key takeaways Key points from this article
  • ✓Immunosenescence refers to the progressive aging of the immune system.
  • ✓This phenomenon is now a major focus of health and longevity research.
  • ✓A recent clinical study suggests that urolithin A may improve several markers associated with immune aging.
  • ✓Urolithin A appears to work, in particular, by supporting the functioning of mitochondria in immune cells.
  • ✓Physical activity, sleep, a balanced gut microbiota and certain nutrients also contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system as we age.

Study reveals ergothioneine’s unexpected potential for the brain

Found in certain mushrooms, ergothioneine is a compound with antioxidant potential that has caught the attention of researchers studying brain aging. A recent clinical study has explored its effects on memory and sleep.

✦ Key takeaways Key points from this article
  • ✓Ergothioneine is an antioxidant compound found mainly in certain mushrooms and, in smaller quantities, in other foods.
  • ✓The body does not produce it, but the OCTN1/SLC22A4 transporter enables it to be taken up and accumulated in several tissues, including the brain.
  • ✓Researchers are investigating its potential effects on oxidative stress, mitochondria and brain aging.
  • ✓A study involving adults aged 55 to 79 reported encouraging results regarding prospective memory and the ability to fall asleep, though these findings have yet to be confirmed.
  • ✓A balanced diet, sleep, physical activity and mental stimulation remain the key factors in preserving cognitive function.
