Vitamins You Should Take To Every Festival

With festival season fast approaching, lots of us want to look and feel our best this summer. Believe it or not, vitamins play a huge part in this. From securing sleep in a tent to rehydration after alcohol, restoring certain nutrients can help to ensure your festival experience is a good one.

Recharge Energy Vitamin Water

Waking up thirsty and tired is a common symptom of a hangover, especially if you’re out in the sun all day.

Instead of reaching for another beer, try our Recharge Vitamin Water. This Pomegranate & Lime bestseller is a sweet, fizzy drink that contains zero calories and zero sugar. It’s enriched with vitamin B12 to fight fatigue (1) and vitamin C to maintain immune function. (2) Each can also contains magnesium, an important mineral that helps to restore the electrolytes lost through sweating when you’re dancing. 3

5-HTP

5-HTP is a naturally occurring amino acid that helps to produce serotonin. Otherwise known as ‘the happy hormone,’ serotonin impacts our sleep, mood and appetite.

Taking a 5-HTP supplement before you go to sleep can help to increase natural serotonin production, helping you to feel well-rested the morning after.

Digestion

With meal times out of the window, we’re usually grabbing a burger or chips on-the-go at a festival. Eating quickly whilst walking doesn’t give the stomach enough time to breakdown large food particles. This means the digestion and absorption of food can be disrupted, causing indigestion or nausea.

The foods we eat at a festival can also result in gut health problems. A lack of fibre slows down the digestive process, causing bloating and gas.

Myvitamins Digestion Capsules are an expert blend of healthy gut bacteria, with 15 billion live cultures in each serving. We’ve also added chloride which produces hydrochloric acid in the stomach to help speed up digestion. 4

For a high-fibre snack enriched with live cultures and chloride, try our Chocolate Orange Bio Bites.

Pre-Workout Shots

For those in need of a quick energy boost at a festival, our Sour Berry Pre-Workout Shots are a great option. Originally designed for high-intensity exercise, these tasty drinks are formulated with caffeine, B vitamins and amino acids AAKG and citrulline.

Multivitamin Gummies

It’s true that prevention is better than cure. If you find yourself feeling exhausted after a festival or other social events, vitamins can help. Taking a daily multivitamin all year round will help to fill in any nutritional gaps in your diet whilst protecting your immune system before the fun begins.

Our Multivitamin Gummies are a fruity source of over 10 essential daily nutrients. We now sell a vegan-friendly version too.
