Why Your Body Needs More Nutrients in Autumn

The transition from summer to autumn isn't just noticeable outside; your body feels it too. Less sunlight, cold, humidity, and shorter days cause a natural shift in your energy and mood.
Many women notice they get tired more easily, catch colds more often, or that their skin feels drier.
From an orthomolecular perspective, this is not surprising: during this period, your body needs more specific nutrients to stay in balance.

Less sun, less vitamin D

Vitamin D is essential for your immune system, mood, and bone health. It is largely produced under the influence of sunlight.
In autumn and winter, this natural production in the Netherlands is minimal, leading to quick deficiencies. A vitamin D supplement is then not a luxury, but a logical addition — especially for women who work indoors a lot or experience lower resistance.

Tip: Combine vitamin D with healthy fats or a meal for better absorption.

Your immune system is working overtime

With cold and humidity, the chance of viruses increases, requiring your immune system to work harder.
Additionally, the body uses more vitamin C, zinc, and antioxidants to protect cells.
These substances act as small "shields" against oxidative stress (damage from free radicals released during stress, air pollution, or unhealthy eating).

Combine foods rich in vitamin C (such as bell peppers, kiwi, and kale) with a natural supplement for daily support.

Skin, hair, and nails: sensitive to cold and dryness

In autumn, humidity drops, which dries out the skin more quickly.
Creams can help, but true recovery happens from within.
Collagen is an important protein that provides firmness and elasticity to the skin.
After the age of 25, natural production decreases by about 1% annually, which translates into fine lines, less resilience, and a duller complexion.

A Collagen Mix supports the skin from within and helps keep connective tissue strong, especially in the colder months.

Your body needs rest, but also magnesium

With less daylight and more time spent indoors, your body often produces more melatonin, the "sleep hormone."
This can lead to daytime fatigue and a disrupted sleep-wake cycle.
Magnesium plays a dual role here: it helps relax muscles and supports your energy metabolism.
Magnesium citrate, in particular, is well-absorbed and also supports the nervous system, ideal for stress and restless nights.

How to support yourself in autumn

• Eat seasonal vegetables (pumpkin, parsnip, kale)

• Drink enough water and herbal tea

• Exercise daily, especially outdoors

• Supplement specifically with natural supplements: Vitamin D, Magnesium Citrate, Collagen Mix and Multi Support
