6 body supplements that are actually beneficial

It takes only five seconds in the supplements aisle at your local chemist to realise this is an oversaturated market. With shelves and shelves of coloured tablets promising glowing skin, relaxed muscles and a better sleep, it’s hard not to become overwhelmed with choice.

And with the impressive array of before and afters on Instagram showing thin hair evolving into thick, luscious locks after the work of ‘miracle’ supplements, these quick add-to-cart moments are getting increasingly harder to resist. 

But as with anything directly linked to our health, it’s crucial to be sure that you are purchasing from a trusted, reliable brand and not just falling for a placebo, perfectly-marketed product.

Going hand-in-hand with a balanced and nutritious diet, supplements can help stay on top of deficiencies, cope with sleeplessness or stress and give our immune system the support it needs to ward off the flu during a cold winter. 

For six supplements that your body will actually benefit from, here are our top picks.


Kynd Women’s Multivitamin + Skin

We say: Realistically, if taking any more than one supplement a day just isn’t sustainable for you, Kynd’s multivitamin is the easy, all-in-one alternative. Formulated specifically for women, it supports everything from energy levels to immunity, plus skin health and the formation of collagen.

Swisse Ultiboost Vitamin D

We say: Sufficient levels of vitamin D are closely linked to bone, teeth and brain health. And as we continue to move head first into what already looks like one chilly, wet winter, vitamin D is a welcome edition when it comes to boosting our immunity and keeping the flu at bay. The best bit? These affordable, 5-star rated supplements are only $13.

You say: “Super easy to swallow as are tiny, no lingering after taste and are a good every day Vitamin D supplement if you need a bit of a Vitamin D boost.” – kittykittyrawr

Nature’s Way Beauty Rosehip + Collagen Gummies

We say: In one of the only instances where eating pink lollies will be good for you, these delicious gummies are filling your body with some crucial nutritional gaps you may be missing. The goodness of rosehip paired with a hydrolysed collagen and a vitamin C rich botanical means glowing, brighter skin that is protected from free radical damage.

You say:  “I’ve definitely loved seeing my skin improve and feel more “tight”, so I’ll be repurchasing these gummies are soon as I find them at my local chemist. Overall, Nature’s Way Rosehip Collagen Gummies have been an awesome addition to my vitamin intake” – Ms Jelena

You say: “I love this sort of product! As I have gotten older I have discovered that the best beauty trick is to concentrate on having the best health from within. I found after around a week or so I felt my skin felt more hydrated and plumper.” – Lahlahlah

  1. I take a multivitamin, silica tablet for hair skin and nails and evening primrose oil for pms symptoms. Last time I had a blood test my vitamin d was ok and I wsn't deficient in anything, hopefully the multivitamin is helping.

  2. I do take supplements – I can't get by without my Vitamin D in a big dose too and I also love Carla Oates Glow but now I'm getting into her Body powders too for the extra protein (and deliciousness!). Organic flaxseed oil is also on my daily menu. (The D and flaxseed I take after seeing my doctor who has the same issue as I do medically)

  3. I prefer to keep supplements to a minimum as most of them are are synthetic. I used to take a daily vitamin D tablet but now I eat more fish, I've been able to raise my levels and reduce my need for the supplement.

  4. I guess I would take a supplement religiously if it was recommended by my doctor but other than that I’m a bit of a cynic. I have used the Rosehip + Collagen gummies and they were nice but did they do anything?

  5. My doctor put me on iron, calcium, Vitamin D & fish oil supplements. Now I've just found out that I'm so low in Vitamin B12 that I need injections! So, I take a variety of supplements regularly.

  6. This reminds me I probably need to get my levels checked. I've previously been low in iron (iron infusion ugh). Most of these don't matter if you take them when you don't need them (except to your wallet) but it is always worth checking what side effects there might be. I always remember at Uni our ethics lecturer telling us about a company that had run out of one type of vitamin so filled those bottles with multi-vitamins!

  7. Blackmore’s pregnancy vitamin was my favourite, but Swisse was my second favourite. Now that we’re in cold and flu season, my family is taking daily vitamin C as that’s the one supplement several of my previous GPs have agreed is actually worthwhile for otherwise health people. We’ve had a few mild bouts of the sniffles but have recovered well and so far none of us have been really unwell, so we’ll keep going with the vitamin C through winter.
