Protect Yourself This Winter: The Power of Nutrition and Supplementation


When the days get shorter and the air turns crisp, our bodies work harder to stay balanced, energised, and resilient. Winter is a season that often tests our immune system, energy levels, and mood. Between fewer daylight hours, cold weather, and the inevitable wave of seasonal bugs, it’s the perfect time to focus on protecting your health - from the inside out. 

At Barefoot Nutrition, we believe that good health starts with good nourishment. Alongside whole foods, hydration, movement, and rest, smart supplementation can give your body the extra support it needs to thrive through winter. Here’s how to strengthen your defences naturally.

1. Vitamin D3 Complete — Your Sunshine in a Capsule

During the darker months, our exposure to sunlight dramatically drops, and so does our body’s ability to produce vitamin D. This vital nutrient supports immune function, bone health, and even mood regulation.

D3 Complete combines paleo-friendly vitamin D3 with K2 and magnesium to ensure proper absorption and balance. Together, they keep calcium in the bones (where it belongs) and support a healthy cardiovascular system.

Low vitamin D levels are linked to tiredness, low mood, and increased susceptibility to colds and flu.

2. Magnesium Glycinate — The Calming Mineral

Magnesium is nature’s relaxant, helping regulate over 300 enzyme reactions in the body. In winter, it becomes even more valuable, especially if you’re feeling stressed, stiff, or struggling with sleep.

Magnesium Glycinate is highly absorbable, gentle on the stomach, and helps reduce fatigue, support muscle and nerve function, and promote restorative rest (essential for immune resilience and mental balance).

3. Advanced Live Culture — Gut Health, Immune Strength

Did you know around 70% of your immune system lives in your gut? A healthy microbiome is your first line of defence against viruses, inflammation, and fatigue.

Our Advanced Live Culture is a high-quality, multi-strain probiotic including Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium for optimal gut health support, supporting digestive comfort and immune balance. 

When your gut flora thrives, your whole body benefits, from better nutrient absorption to clearer skin and steadier energy.

4. Omega 3 Ultimate — Fighting Inflammation, Supporting Mood

Colder weather and darker days can leave joints stiff and mood a little lower. Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, are key to managing inflammation, supporting cardiovascular health, and promoting brain function.

Omega 3 Ultimate is sustainably sourced, ultra-pure, and highly bioavailable. It helps to:

  • Ease joint discomfort
  • Support heart and eye health
  • Maintain a positive mood and focus through winter

5. Advanced CoQ10 Ubiquinol — Cellular Energy from Within

As energy dips in winter, supporting your mitochondria (the powerhouses of your cells) can make a huge difference. Our Advanced CoQ10 Ubiquinol fuels energy production at a cellular level and supports heart and muscle health.

We use Kaneka Ubiquinol®, the most trusted, naturally fermented form. This means your body can use it immediately - no conversion needed. Perfect for those managing fatigue, staying active, or looking to maintain vitality as natural CoQ10 levels decline with age.

6. B12 Complete — Beat the Winter Slump

Feeling sluggish or foggy? B12 is essential for energy, focus, and nerve function - yet many people are deficient, especially those following a plant-based diet.

Our B12 Complete not only comes with bioactive B12, but also has the two main co-factors for optimal absorption and effectiveness: bioactive folic acid (methyl folate) and bioactive biotin (D-Biotin).  It supports red blood cell production, energy metabolism, and mental clarity, helping you power through darker days.

7. Optimum Multivitamin — Your Daily Nutritional Safety Net

Even with the best diet, it’s not always easy to get everything your body needs. Winter meals are often heavier and less varied, and that’s where our Optimum Multivitamin comes in.

It’s a complete blend of bioavailable vitamins, minerals, and trace elements that:

  • Support energy production and metabolism
  • Strengthen immunity and stress response
  • Nourish hair, skin, and nails
  • Boost cognitive function and mood

Building Your Winter Wellness Routine

You don’t need every supplement, just the right ones for you. A few well-chosen additions, combined with nourishing foods, hydration, regular exercise and rest, can transform how you feel this winter.
