With a new season comes changes in what your body needs to function optimally—whether it’s switching up your workout routine, eating more in-season foods, or taking up a new hobby. And the same goes for the supplements you reach for to support your body through the transition. I’ve spent many years working with my doctors to find the wellness supplements that are right for my body, and they change seasonally. As someone who lives in the Pacific Northwest, I deal with many days of rain, wind, and less sunlight (AKA cold and flu weather). But no matter where you live, there are certain supplements that can help address the typical health woes this time of year—immunity, mood, allergies, and dry skin—so you can feel your best. Keep reading for must-have wellness supplements to consider adding to your regimen.

Airborne
Vitamin C Effervescent Tablets

Obviously there’s never a good time to be sick, but it’s especially inconvenient when the holiday season is right around the corner. So, adding some extra Vitamin C into your daily line up is a must. These Airborne Vitamin C Tablets are the perfect go-to for a quick immunity boost when you’re feeling a bit run down (or just want to be extra proactive). Just drop one in water, let it fizz, and bam—you’re sipping on a tangy little drink that’ll keep you in tip top shape. Plus, they’re perfect for keeping in your bag or desk drawer, especially when you’re on-the-go on a hectic Q4 day.

Thorne
Vitamin D + K2

Come fall, the days get shorter and you get less sunlight exposure, causing the body to produce less vitamin D. Low levels of vitamin D can lead to seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and a weakened immunity. This liquid supplement can step in to help maintain neuroprotective agents that support immune health, mood regulation, and muscle function, as well as bone health. (The vitamin K component helps the body better absorb the vitamin D.)

Ritual
Omega-3 DHA & EPA

This (vegan) Omega-3 fatty acid supplement features a science-backed dose of DHA & EPA in a 2:1 ratio (which is found in a healthy Mediterranean diet). DHA is a predominant fatty acid in the brain, and Omega-3 DHA & EPA support brain health and may play a role in reducing symptoms for depression. Plus, thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, these natural citrus-infused capsules (read: they’re tasty!) can help combat dry skin and joint stiffness.

Beekeeper’s Naturals
Propolis Throat Spray

Propolis is a natural mixture produced by bees from substances collected from parts of plants, buds, and exudates. While bees use it to line the walls of their hives and preserve honey, propolis delivers over 300 beneficial compounds and antioxidants that combat oxidative stress, build the immune system, soothe a dry, scratchy throat, combat free radical damage in the body, and feed the good bacteria in the gut. TL;DR: It’s the reason why I instantly start to feel better every time I use this spray.

New Roots
Oregano Oil

These liquid drops, made from the purest and most potent wild oregano oil, deliver  antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory benefits. In other words, they fight bacteria that commonly cause infections, can be an effective treatment for common Candida fungal infections, and may help protect the body from damage caused by oxidative stress and free radicals. When I add 3-5 drops of this tincture to water or juice a couple of times a day while sick, I’ve noticed my symptoms go away faster. But even when I’m not under the weather, it’s my go-to for daily immune support.
