Essential Supplements to Take on Your Holiday Trip
Summer is the time of travel, and during trips, our diet and physical activity often deviate from the usual rhythm and routine. Depending on the destination, the food can also be completely different and there is a risk of getting stomach problems. To ensure that your long-awaited vacation is not spoiled by unexpected health problems, we recommend thinking through which supplements to take with you. Here is a list of essential supplements that we definitely recommend packing in your suitcase.
1. Probiotics
The most common health concern that occurs when traveling is digestive problems. Foreign food can be completely unfamiliar, causing bloating and stomach pain in the first few days. In some countries, it is also not advisable to drink the local water, as it may be contaminated and can lead to even more serious digestive issues.
Be sure to take probiotics with you on your trip, because they:
- help support gut health
- have a good effect on immunity
- help digestion, reduce bloating and discomfort
Probiotics should contain a variety of bacterial strains, including Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. The NutriDream probioticsis ideal choice, as it contains five different strains of lactic acid bacteria and thus helps relieve stomach problems.
2. Magnesium
Long flights, unfamiliar beds, and a disrupted routine can lead to muscle tension and difficulty sleeping.
Magnesium:
- Promotes relaxation and better sleep
- Helps with muscle recovery and reduces cramps
- Supports overall energy production
The best choice is magnesium in citrate form, as it absorbs fast. Such magnesium is NutriDream's magnesium and it also includes Vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, reduces fatigue and tiredness, and helps maintain normal energy metabolism.

3. Supplement for better sleep
When traveling, the sleep cycle is often disrupted, especially when the destination is a country in a completely different time zone. In order not to lose any part of the vacation days due to the time difference, we recommend following a stricter sleep routine and taking a sleep-enhancing food supplement with you.
GoodNightSleep supplement, developed in collaboration with the Institute of Pharmacy of the University of Tartu,facilitate sleep and improve sleep quality while having a short-term insomnia. GoodNightSleep is a melatonin-free sleep-promoting supplement consisting of plant extracts of natural origin and it may help when it is difficult to fall asleep due to jet lag. The valerian, lemon balm and hops contained in GoodNightSleep promote sleep, and together with heather and motherwort, they have a calming effect on the central nervous system. Vitamin B12 contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and helps to reduce fatigue and exhaustion.
