Six supplements to help you recover from from party season

Stephenson recommends prioritising a high-quality multivitamin such as Artah’s Advanced Multi-Nutrient for a 360-degree approach. “This is going to support everything from mood and energy to immunity and focus,” she says. “If you have a potent multivitamin with added herbal and phytonutrient support, then you can be more specific with what else you add in.” A cocktail of supplements, if you will. Think pre- and probiotics for gut support after an indulgent few months, energy-boosting blends to do away with sluggishness, and superfood-packed formulas to counteract the season of champagne, canapés and camembert.

For your supplements to work as effectively as possible, a few diet tweaks will make a world of difference. Stephenson recommends boosting your fibre intake, adding in some fermented foods and limiting sugar and alcohol. Also, stock up your fridge with the good stuff: “Forget five-a-day and go big; eight to 10 servings of vegetables and fruit, with six of them being vegetables,” she says. “This is going to help increase your fibre, phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals, and will be great for the gut.”

Here, discover six of the best supplements to refresh, replenish and recover your system, for the happiest and healthiest of new years.

1/ Beauty Pie

For Jugglers

Have you ever encountered a supplement with a better name? Beauty Pie’s For Jugglers is just that – for those who burn the candle at both ends, want to have their cake and eat it, or any other idiom you fancy. A must for January recovery, then; a hard-working botanical blend designed to reduce fatigue, support normal energy production, and promote healthy psychological function. One of the key ingredients is KSM-66 Ashwagandha, a highly researched adaptogenic botanical ingredient believed to support the body’s ability to deal with stress. That’s alongside the brain-boosting vitamin B5 and ginseng, a physical and mental-health recovery hero.

2/ Artah

Advanced Multi-Nutrient

Packed with more than 40 essential vitamins, minerals, plants and herbs, this powerful formula does it all, supporting brain health, cellular health, metabolism and energy in one. Think polyphenols to bolster gut health – great after an indulgent period – inositol, chromium and gymnem for blood-sugar support, and glutathione, turmeric and rosemary, all of which are known for their detoxifying abilities. That’s as well as an alphabet of vitamins, and essential minerals such as selenium, magnesium, potassium and zinc. Pair it with the brand’s GI Fix for further gut support, or the longevity-focused Enhanced NAD+ Complex to combat the effects of lifestyle factors such as stress and poor sleep.

3/ The Nue Co

Pre + Probiotic

To create an optimally balanced gut microbiome after the assault of party season, probiotics are a must. And not just probiotics, but also prebiotics – the compounds that feed the “good bacteria” essential for our gut health. The Nue Co’s Pre + Postbiotic blend is ideal for microbiome recovery after a period of poor diet and overindulgence, with a clinically proven probiotic strain and a prebiotic fibre that work in tandem to create a balanced gut. Not all probiotics are created equal, but The Nue Co’s is shelf-stable and resistant to stomach acid, ensuring it reaches the gut alive, kicking and ready to work its magic. Since a healthy gut microbiome can positively impact digestion, immunity, mood, sleep and more, this is a crucial part of your recovery arsenal.

4/ Wild Nutrition

Wild Nutrition Food-Grown Energy Support

It can be difficult to summon up energy for all of January’s demands if you’re still feeling depleted from the previous year. If that’s you, an energy-boosting supplement is vital for tackling the new year head-on. Wild Nutrition’s supplements are food-grown, meaning they’re easily absorbed by the body, and include an Energy Support blend designed to reduce tiredness, boost mental performance and support cognition. Hero ingredients include vitamin B6 for hormonal balance, iron and magnesium to combat tiredness, zinc for immunity and vitamin C to protect cells against oxidative stress. A rather more virtuous way to start your day than three back-to-back flat whites.

5/ Vida Glow

De-Stress

Stress can have a negative, domino-like effect, impacting everything from mood to diet, and even our ability to get a good night’s sleep. Vida Glow’s De-Stress aims to support the nervous system and bolster both short-term and long-term emotional wellbeing. A clinically studied extract, Serenzo acts on mood, while vitamin C offers antioxidant protection, and vitamin B5 supports a healthy stress response, energy production and vitality. Consider it your opportunity to hit reset for the new year, recovering from any burnout from the previous season.

6/ The Beauty Chef

Cleanse Inner Beauty Support

Look, we all know that a varied and healthy diet is important for our overall wellbeing, but after the indulgence onslaught of December, our bodies need all the help they can get. That’s why a superfood supplement, packed with all the goodness you missed out on, is the perfect addition to your healthier January habits, ensuring you get all the greens, gut-loving ferments and powerful enzymes your body could possibly require. Think spinach, kale and spirulina to combat sluggishness, prebiotics and probiotics for digestion, and banana starch and Jerusalem artichoke to boost your natural cleansing processes.
