BEST SUPPLEMENTS TO SUPPORT YOU THROUGH LOCKDOWN 2.0

Best Supplements to Support You Through Lockdown 2.0

LEAPFROG IMMUNE

Best Supplements to Support You Through Lockdown 2.0

Leapfrog IMMUNE is a new immune support supplement that harnesses the power of natural lactoferrin – a protein that has potent anti-viral and anti-bacterial properties. Each citrus-flavoured chewable tablet contains 250mg of pure, natural lactoferrin plus zinc and vitamin C.

Lactoferrin exists within us as our bodies’ first line of defence and is incredibly effective in protecting us against bacteria and viruses. Your body naturally produces lactoferrin every day – it’s in your eyes, nose and mouth – ready to neutralise or suppress pathogens as they appear. But, when we’re stressed, tired, run down, not eating properly, or simply ageing, our innate lactoferrin may be depleted faster than it is restored. This can leave us vulnerable when exposed to germs. Lactoferrin is also one of the important components of mother’s milk that offers a newborn optimal immunity. So, that’s where it’s sourced from: Leapfrog’s lactoferrin is extracted from the milk of cows fed on an all-natural diet in Northern France.

With the cold/flu season upon us, use Leapfrog IMMUNE to shut down the first niggling symptoms of a cold.

No supplement can prevent infection with Covid-19 but, it is well-documented that adequate levels of vitamin D and zinc help to optimise immune function.

NUTRI-GENETIX

Nutri-Genetix

Nutri-Genetix (NGX) is the world’s first genetically personalised nutrition shake, tailored to an individual’s own DNA to achieve enhanced performance. Using a super quick and easy swab test (inside the cheek) the NGX team are then able to build a personalised blend of NGX Bodyfuel based on your genetic make-up. They test for 28 traits in your DNA to assess how you metabolise and process different nutrients, your sensitivities to different foods and your body’s detoxification process. You’re then given a detailed report of your results and how this may affect you. For example, if you have a slightly reduced ability to metabolise folate, this can have an impact on your energy levels and muscle performance.

NGX is perfect for anyone who is striving to increase performance, boost immunity, build lean muscle or lose body fat, with confidence, knowing that they’re fueling their body optimally. NGX is currently offering a free DNA test worth £99 when you subscribe to at least one week’s supply of Body Fuel (from £28.04). Learn more about the offer here.

DR DAVID JACK’S RELAX SUPPLEMENT

Dr. David Jack has built up a reputation for being a considered and holistic practitioner in the field of aesthetic medicine. It is well known that stress, anxiety and insomnia can have major effects on the skin, both in terms of skin ageing and also is a major factor in skin conditions such as adult acne. With this in mind, he decided to create a supplement that helps address some of these issues with natural and plant-based ingredients. In line with holistic thinking on the benefits of certain mushrooms, nootropics and adaptogens, Relax is a blend of 17 ingredients chosen for their relaxing and mood boosting effects.

The supplement is designed to be taken as an evening drink and comes as a naturally flavoured powder that is mixed with hot water to create a fortified hot chocolate-salted caramel drink. The drink combines adaptogens, which are used in traditional Chinese, and ayurvedic medicine to regulate the effects of stressors on the body, with nootropics (supplements which may improve certain aspects of cognitive function including mood and motivation) including 5-HTP, GABA, Choline and L-Theanine. Ayurvedic ingredients such as Bacopa Monnieri, which is believed to improve attention levels, have also been added.

Unable to shake off the fast-paced routine she developed in her City job, she achieves balance by winding down in yoga sessions, escaping on fitness retreats, and going for extended brunches that somehow seem to wind up in a hidden gem of a cocktail bar.
