In today’s world of endless wellness options and overflowing supplement shelves, choosing the right supplements for your body can feel overwhelming. Do you need more vitamin D? Should you be taking magnesium? What about probiotics, collagen, or a daily greens blend?
The reality is this: there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to your health. Your body is unique - and your supplement routine should reflect that.
At Barefoot Nutrition, we believe in nourishing your body from the roots up. Just like a strong, healthy tree relies on a solid foundation, true wellbeing begins with core support. Our clean, science-led supplement range is designed to help you thrive naturally, effectively, and in a way that suits your individual needs.
Here’s how to choose the right supplements for your health, and how we can support your journey.
Step 1: Identify Your Health Priorities
Before introducing any new supplements into your daily routine, start by asking yourself: What does my body need right now?
Common goals include:
- Boosting energy and concentration
- Strengthening the immune system
- Supporting digestion and gut health
- Managing stress or improving sleep
- Aiding recovery, joints, or skin
- Filling in dietary or nutritional gaps
Barefoot Nutrition offers carefully formulated options across all these areas, making it easier to personalise your supplement plan.
Step 2: Start with the Foundations
Whatever your goals, building a strong nutritional foundation is essential. These are the core supplements that benefit most people, particularly when diet and lifestyle aren’t always ideal.
Daily Multivitamin
A well-balanced blend of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support overall health, energy, and immune resilience.
Why our Optimum Multivitamin is different: It's bioavailable, highly absorbable, and free from unnecessary additives or synthetic fillers.
Vitamin D
In the UK, many people are deficient in vitamin D, especially during the autumn and winter months.
Why it matters: Our Vitamin D3 Complete supports immune function, bone strength, mood regulation, and inflammation control. It is the only one on the market to have all the essential cofactors to maximise Vitamin D3 absorption and effectiveness! Magnesium (activates Vitamin D), boron (supports Vitamin D metabolism), K2 (directs calcium to bones instead of arteries), and zinc (enhances immune function and absorption).
Step 3: Address Specific Needs
Once your base is covered, it’s time to tailor your supplements to your individual needs and lifestyle.
Need more energy and mental clarity?
B12
Try our B12 Complete to support brain function, stress resilience, and cellular energy - without relying on caffeine. It has bioactive B12, AND it is formulated with key cofactors, direct cofactor bioactive folic acid (methyl folate) and indirect cofactor bioactive biotin (D-Biotin), both essential for optimal B12 absorption.
They are directly dependent on each other for completion of the B12-Homocysteine-Methionine cycle, which helps to remove harmful excess homocysteine from the body (excess homocysteine is linked to various health issues such as heart disease, stroke, and cognitive decline).
In the absence of these cofactors, symptoms of B12 deficiency, such as fatigue and anaemia, can still occur, even in the presence of normal levels of B12.
Struggling with sleep or stress?
Magnesium
Our Magnesium Glycinate is one of the most absorbable and gentle forms of magnesium, ideal for calming the nervous system and supporting muscle repair.
Some take Magnesium with ashwagandha - an adaptogenic herb – which helps the body manage stress and regulate cortisol.
Digestive issues or bloating?
Probiotic
Try our Advanced Live Culture Formula. It is one of the most potent and complete pro-biotic supplements available, helping to restore healthy gut bacteria, support digestion, and enhance immune health.
Living an active lifestyle or dealing with joint pain?
Omega 3
Our Omega 3 Ultimate can help! It is ideal for active lifestyles or those dealing with joint pain. Rich in EPA and DHA, it helps reduce inflammation from exercise, supports faster muscle recovery, and promotes joint flexibility.
For those with stiffness or arthritis, it can ease discomfort by lubricating joints and protecting cartilage. This makes staying active easier and less painful.
Looking to support heart health, cellular energy and overall vitality?
Advanced Co Q10 (Kaneka Ubiquinol) is the one for you. As the active, more absorbable form of CoQ10, it helps improve energy production in cells, especially important for the heart and muscles. Ideal for those over 40, it can boost stamina, reduce oxidative stress, support cardiovascular wellness, and it’s beneficial for people taking statins as these medications can deplete natural CoQ10 levels, leading to fatigue or muscle pain. Ubiquinol also supports healthy blood pressure, brain function, and antioxidant protection.
Pregnant and looking for a supplement to support you?
Barefoot Mums Pregnancy Support Formula delivers pure, bioavailable nutrients tailored for each stage of pregnancy - from conception through breastfeeding. It includes methylated folate (not synthetic folic acid), gentle iron, DHA from algae, and active B12 - supporting baby’s development and mum’s energy naturally. Made with food-based ingredients (ensuring better absorption and fewer side effects), and it is free from fillers, synthetic additives, and unnecessary bulking agents, meaning it’s clean, effective, and easy to digest.
Step 4: Choose Clean, Transparent Products
Not all supplements are created equal. Many supermarket or high-street brands contain synthetic ingredients, poor-quality fillers, and minimal therapeutic value.
At Barefoot Nutrition, we prioritise clean, honest, and science-backed supplements:
- No artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives
- Clinically effective dosages
- Gluten-free, dairy-free, and non-GMO
- Eco-conscious packaging and production methods
Every label tells you exactly what’s inside - because transparency is essential for your health.
Step 5: Keep It Simple and Sustainable
The best supplement routine is one that fits easily into your lifestyle. You don’t need to take a dozen different capsules every day, just the ones that align with your needs and goals.
That’s why Barefoot Nutrition offers multi-functional formulas that are simple, powerful, and easy to maintain long-term.
Tip: Start slowly. Introduce one or two supplements at a time and notice how your body responds. Look out for subtle shifts like improved energy, better digestion, or more restful sleep.
Step 6: Speak with a Health Professional
If you’re managing an ongoing condition, taking prescription medications, or unsure where to start, consult a qualified healthcare practitioner or functional nutritionist. They can help you personalise your supplement routine and ensure everything works together safely.
Support Your Life, Don’t Replace It
Supplements are not quick fixes, they’re tools to support a healthy lifestyle - one that includes whole foods, regular movement, good hydration, sleep, and stress management.
When used correctly, high-quality supplements can help you feel stronger, more balanced, and better supported from the inside out.
