What supplements should I take?
It is advisable to choose dietary supplements based on individual needs, taking into account factors such as gender, age and lifestyle. In general, the following are recommended:
- Vitamin D: Often insufficient during the winter months and for people who spend most of their time indoors.
- Vitamin C: Beneficial during periods when the immune system is under increased demand.

The quality of dietary supplements is crucial for effective absorption and overall efficacy. Supplements should have a pure composition, free of fillers and unnecessary additives. Whenever possible, it is advisable to choose ingredients of natural origin rather than synthetic ones.
