As the colder months set in and daylight hours dwindle, it’s not uncommon to feel your energy dip and your immune system tested. But the good news is, Centrum has a simple way you can help support your body’s defences and energy levels throughout the year.
Centrum has spent decades researching how to help your body to get the nutrients it requires. That’s why Centrum’s multivitamin tablets are tailored to your needs, based on your age, gender and lifestyle.
Centrum has three handy pointers to help you feel your best, whatever the season brings…
1. Support your vitamin D levels
Between October and early March, the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays in the UK aren’t strong enough for the body to make enough vitamin D – an essential nutrient that contributes to the normal function of the immune system. For this reason, the NHS recommends that everyone considers taking a daily supplement containing 10 micrograms (400 IU) of vitamin D during the autumn and winter months.
Happily, Centrum offers a simple and reliable way to support your vitamin D levels with its Vitamin D Boost – a daily multivitamin tablet with six times more vitamin D than Centrum Advance. It features 23 nutrients, including all 13 essential vitamins: A, C, D, E, K and the eight B vitamins.
2. Eat a balanced, colourful diet
When it comes to food, a varied and balanced diet is the best way to get the nutrients you need. But with busy schedules, limited daylight and individual dietary needs, it can be tricky to know you’re getting enough of them each day. That’s why Centrum’s daily multivitamins contain a variety of nutrients to help complement a healthy diet.
Here are just a few of the vitamins and minerals you can find in Centrum’s tablets and how they can help to support you when combined with a healthy diet.
- Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) contributes to the normal function of the heart.
- Vitamin B12 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
- Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity.
- Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
- Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.
- Magnesium contributes to normal muscle and psychological function.
- Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin.
- Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and skin.
Get outside and stay active
Although there’s less daylight during autumn and winter, you can still make the most of it by spending time outside. Even a short walk at lunchtime can help support healthy vitamin D levels all year round.
Movement also plays a key role in maintaining energy. When you’re tired, exercise might feel unappealing, but physical activities, such as walking or doing housework, can help more oxygen-rich blood circulate around your body, providing a natural energy lift.
Start your day the Centrum way
Each multivitamin tablet in Centrum’s range contains a variety of nutrients – all tailored to your needs. Centrum Advance, for example, is an all-round daily multivitamin packed with essential nutrients, such as vitamin D, which contributes to the normal function of the immune system, and zinc, which contributes to normal cognitive function.
