My Top 5 Favorite Summer Supplements (And What They Actually Do)
Let’s be honest—no supplement can fix a poor diet or high stress.
But the right ones? They can fill the gaps, calm inflammation, and support your gut, skin, and energy—especially when summer throws you out of rhythm.
Between the heat, travel, extra alcohol, schedule shifts, and hydration needs, summer puts unique pressure on your body. This is when smart supplementation can really help.
Here are my go-to supplements that I personally use and recommend to clients all summer long—plus how to use them for best results.

1. Electrolytes (Not Just for Athletes)
Why you need them:
Sweating more in summer means you’re losing sodium, potassium, and magnesium—all of which help you hydrate, regulate blood pressure, and support energy.
What I use:
- NUUN Tablets (no sugar, clean ingredients) (Click Here to Purchase)
- A pinch of sea salt + lemon in your morning water
Best time to take:
First thing in the morning or after being outside in the heat.
2. Magnesium Glycinate or Citrate
Why you need it:
Most people are deficient in magnesium—and stress, poor sleep, and irregular digestion only make it worse. It’s especially helpful for summer constipation and sleep issues.
What I use:
- Designs for Health Magnesium Buffered Chelate
- Pure Encapsulations Magnesium Glycinate
- Magnesium Citrate for occasional constipation

Best time to take:
Evening, 1–2 hours before bed for sleep, or during the day for regularity.
3. Collagen or Bone Broth Protein
Why you need it:
Collagen supports your gut lining, skin elasticity, joints, and metabolism. Bone broth proteins are also rich in glycine, which supports liver detox and reduces inflammation.
What I use:
- Pure Paleo Protein (Designs for Health)
- Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides
- Kettle & Fire Bone Broth (great for sipping or soups)

Best time to take:
In smoothies, coffee, or a midday snack.
4. Digestive Enzymes
Why you need them:
Summer meals often include grilled meats, raw veggies, and new foods. Enzymes help break down protein, fat, and fiber so you can absorb nutrients and reduce bloating.
What I use:
- Digestzyme-V (Designs for Health)
- Biotics Intenzyme Forte

Best time to take:
Before or during meals, especially when eating on the go or heavier meals.
5. Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Why you need them:
Omega-3s help calm inflammation, support skin health, balance hormones, and promote mental clarity—key during a season of sun, stress, and social stimulation.
What I use:
- OmegAvail TG1000 (Designs for Health)
- Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega

Best time to take:
With meals that contain fat, once or twice daily.
