Probiotic
A lot of us have poor diets and stressful lifestyles that negatively impact on our gut bacteria (our microbiome) – and this can affect our general health and even our mood, says gut health expert Eve Kalinik. ‘A probiotic supplement can boost your gut health, but it’s no substitute for a healthy and diverse wholefood diet – you need that too! Look for a supplement containing at least one billion CFUs (live and active microorganisms), and check the product’s website to ensure that any claims are backed up by independent clinical trials.’
Zinc
This mineral is one that many of us don’t get enough of – especially if we’re trying to cut back on meat, says nutritional therapist Judy Watson. ‘Supplements support cognitive function, helping with anxiety and concentration – and taking 15-20mg a day will also boost your immune health and speed up post-surgical healing.’
