Occasional Digest - a story for you

EVERY year I try out hundreds of health products.

Some of them I now use regularly and can’t do without.

Here are The Sun’s health heroes for 2023

This year gummies, mushrooms and superfood powders have been more popular than ever and, in some form, I always take magnesium to help me sleep, probiotics for gut health and vitamin D for bone health.

So, here are my health heroes of 2023 . . . 

Collagen

THANK COLLAGEN was launched this year.

There are now hundreds of different collagen products on the market to choose from.

My skin is noticeably less dehydrated after using Collagen

But I particularly like this one because it tastes great, is convenient in ready weighed-out travel sachets and contains 10g of hydrolysed fish collagen as well as 10mg of hyaluronic acid and 100 per cent of your reference intake for biotin, thiamine, niacin and vitamins C and D all in the one sachet – which is where I now get my all-important daily vitamin D from.

Each sachet is just 37 calories.

My skin is noticeably less dehydrated afterwards, and the powder dissolves really easily and tastes great with a mixed berry flavour.

Price is £38 for a month’s supply of 20 sachets from thankcollagen.co.uk.

Energy

TO kick off your day with a boost, coffee from London Nootropics is amazing.

I only get a takeaway cuppa once a week and this is my treat.

Coffee from London Nootropics is a perfect morning pick-me-up

London Nootropics produce three “adaptogenic” coffees.

Adaptogens are herbs, roots and plants that help us deal with stress, anxiety and fatigue.

This fine barista-style coffee comes in tiny, already weighed out sachets which are perfect for holidays or taking to work.

My favourite is their Flow Coffee with lion’s mane mushroom and rhodiola.

It can help to combat depression, anxiety and fatigue, as well as supporting gut, heart and immune system health.

A perfect morning pick-me-up, for motivation and focus. It also tastes great – smooth and strong.

Pay £15 for 12 sachets from londonnootropics.com.

Vitamins

ORAL sprays are formulated to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system.

The tiny droplets absorb quickly into your mouth – a simple and scientifically proven method of supplementation.

BetterYou MultiVit Oral spray has a lovely blackcurrant and plum flavour

BetterYou MultiVit Oral spray contains 14 essential vitamins and minerals.

It has a lovely blackcurrant and plum flavour and contains 100 per cent of your daily requirement of vitamins B12, D3, B9, selenium, K1, B7 and iodine.

I keep this in the car and have a squirt on the school run.

When everybody was battling a cold this year, I wasn’t.

I am sure this has helped.

You need four sprays a day and a 25ml bottle is enough for 32 days.

£9.99, betteryou.com
