The best nutritional supplements when travelling
Share
Summer travel can be a lot of fun! You've been looking forward to it for a long time. When you visit new places, it's time to explore and try new things. How can you best support your overall wellness while traveling? What supplements should you pack in your suitcase? How can we make the most of our trip?
If you travel far enough, your sleep is likely to be affected.
Traveling to far-off destinations in different time zones can disrupt your sleep. Melatonin could be the answer! Take it the first 3-4 nights of your vacation to reset your body's biological clock and help offset jet lag. Enjoying a warm bath, reading a book, or meditating will give your body a signal that it's time to relax. Take melatonin 90 minutes before bedtime for best results.
Melatonin to nudge sleep in the right direction
Wear a sleep mask when you go to bed. Download a calming sound app to your phone to block out other distracting sounds. Once your body is ready to sleep in the new time zone, you can stop taking melatonin.
Magnesium for cramps
Another supplement that pairs well with melatonin is magnesium. Taken with a little food before bed, it can help your muscles relax and lull your body into restful sleep. At Aarja Health, we love our Premium Magnesium3 . It contains 3 high-quality and highly bioavailable forms of magnesium: citrate, bisglycinate and taurinate, as well as zinc, vitamin B6 and cranberry.

Antioxidants B12
Aarja Health's Curcumin with B12 and Ginger can give you an energy boost. Curcumin and ginger are two of the most powerful natural antioxidants on the planet. B12 can help reduce tiredness and fatigue. When you take Aarja Health's Curcumin with B12, you don't need to supplement with other B12 supplements. With 500 mcg of vitamin B12, our product already has everything you need, in just one capsule.
A tip for those who are prone to motion sickness. Take one of Aarja Health's Curcumin with B12 and Ginger capsules before traveling by plane, train or car. It can reduce the nauseating feeling in your stomach.
Probiotics for the stomach
Speaking of stomachs, food is always good when you're on vacation. But sometimes our digestive systems react differently to different foods and water when we travel abroad. Think about probiotics, the natural good bacteria that live in our bodies. You can start taking probiotics two weeks before your trip to promote gut health. Look for a type that doesn't need to be refrigerated.
Vitamin C and D for the immune system
Keep your immune system in check while you’re traveling with a daily dose of vitamin C. Aarja Health’s Vitamin C 500 with Zinc and Chaga has what you need. We recommend taking one to two tablets with food. And for the kids, don’t forget to pack Vitamin C with Blueberry for Kids . It’s a chewable tablet with a great taste that kids love.
Vitamin D also helps support the immune system, and supports vitamin C with an extra boost. Aarja Health's Vitamin D3 4000 with cranberry is a chewable tablet that tastes great. Take one tablet every other day with food. Take in the morning for an extra energy boost. For children, you can pack Aarja Health's Vitamin D3 with Blueberry for children . It is a vegan source of vitamin D.
Enjoy your trips this summer, and make the most of your vacation by staying healthy and energetic. Have a good trip!
