Dietary supplements and seasonality: the annual supplementation calendar

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 optimise their colonisation and activity.

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

✓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.
