Back-to-School, Back-to-You: Simple Supplement Routines for Autumn 2025

back to school supplement routine for autumn

As summer winds down and schedules pick up, it’s the perfect moment to rediscover your wellbeing routine. This autumn, we’ll show you how a few simple supplements and smart habits can support your energy, mood, and glow – even through the busy back-to-school season.

Why Autumn Is a Key Time for Wellness

  • With reduced sunlight in Ireland, vitamin D levels often drop, affecting immunity.

  • The colder season and shifting schedules can leave you feeling stressed and fatigued.

  • Evening darkness and shorter days may throw off your sleep patterns and mindset.

1. Vitamin D3 – Ireland’s “Sunshine Vitamin”

What it does: Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

Here in Ireland: Health bodies advise supplementation from autumn through spring when sun exposure is low.

How to use it: Try taking our Vitamin D3 Spray or Vitamin D3 Capsules with a meal each morning.

2. Vitamin C Through Collagen

Why it matters: Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for skin, cartilage, and bones. It also supports the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

A subtle boost: Our Marine Collagen Sachets with Vitamin C mix easily into your morning smoothie – a simple way to glow from within.

3. Magnesium for Calm Energy

Science-backed support: Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.

Smart tip: Take our Magnesium Citrate Capsules in the evening to support rest, calm, and steady energy.

4. The Immune Multitaskers: B12, Folic Acid, Zinc

Why they’re vital:

  • Vitamin B12 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

  • Folic acid supports normal red blood cell formation.

  • Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system.

How to take them: One formula with our Immune Support Bundle covers all three – smart, simple, seamless.

5. Cozy Habits to Complement Your Supplements

  • Evening ritual: Wind down with a warm drink, journaling, or a screen-free routine to support restful sleep.

  • Autumn nutrition: Think warming soups with vitamin C-rich veggies like squash and leafy greens.

  • Sunlight exposure: Step outside during daylight hours – even on cloudy days – to support natural vitamin D synthesis.

Final Thought

Autumn is an invitation to reset. A consistent supplement routine – Vitamin D3, Vitamin C collagen, Magnesium, and immune support – alongside calm, seasonal habits, empowers you to feel grounded, energised, and radiant.
