The year is 2018 (almost 2019 but I refuse to believe it). We all know we shouldn’t drink excessively but we usually do anyway, we spend almost every waking moment staring at our phones and computer screens, our hair is all fried from curling wands, and there are more vitamins on the shelves than Fast and Furious franchise movies. It is all a bit overwhelming. 

But what you may NOT realize is that the store brand multivitamin you’re throwing back every morning may not be enough (gasp!! sry.)

I hate to break it to you, but we all need a little help, particularly in the vitamin department. Good news, my friends – I learned a few secrets from the Swisse Wellness team at Wanderlust Festival 108 that are about to blow your mind and hopefully make up for a few of your bad habits.

If you don’t know Swisse Wellness, get to know them.

People in my sorority used to use that phrase when introducing new people, and I don’t know if I love or hate myself for using it here. But anyway… Earlier this month, I discovered Swisse Wellness at their #DestinationHappiness installation at the Wanderlust 108 Festival in Tampa. Not only did I get to spend the day meditating and doing yoga in the sunshine, but I also learned SO MUCH from the Swisse team (cute Australian accents and all) about the importance of specific vitamins and how they support us!

At #DestinationHappiness, they had a little bit of everything going on from massage chairs to acro yoga, to a “Dream Dome” where you could zone out to a five-minute meditation. In my honest opinion, everyone would hate work way less if offices had a dream dome. Just saying.

Real quick – Swisse is an Australian based vitamin and supplement company on a mission to help people live healthier and happier lives (samesies!) and prides themselves on the quality of their ingredients. As a 40+ year old company, Swisse has been creating products formulated with premium quality ingredients based on traditional evidence and scientific research for nearly four decades, available in 8 countries around the world. Credibility noted.

You’re extra, so your vitamins should be too

Ok maybe not in the same way… But sometimes certain aspects of your health might need an extra boost depending on your hobbies (drinking/not sleeping/bleaching your hair) and #goals (flat tummy, sweet dreams, Rapunzel status). Let’s break it down, shall we?

If you suck at sleeping…

People complaining about not getting enough sleep is a classic office breakroom woe that I typically cannot contribute to. But this isn’t about me, it’s about you! It’s a common misconception in America that melatonin supplements are safe to take to help aid sleep, but in reality, overuse of melatonin supplements can be harmful to restful sleep patterns! Instead of using melatonin in their sleep supplements, Swisse uses a premium quality formula containing magnesium and herbs.

In the Swisse Ultiboost Sleep supplement, the magic ingredient is the calming valerian root which helps relieve nervous tension and restlessness, therefore supporting the body’s natural production of melatonin. The other ingredients in Swisse Ultiboost Sleep are magnesium, hops and licorice root among other herbs that help to promote higher quality sleep.

Even though I’m a champion sleeper, I decided to give Swisse Ultiboost Sleep a try. I fell asleep quickly, had lovely dreams and woke up feeling much more rested than usual! If calming the F down and falling asleep is an issue for you, I can’t recommend this product enough – especialllllly over melatonin supplements!

If you like to drink but hangovers ruin your life, and have stomach issues…

Remember in college when like, no one got hungover? Good times. I know that drinking is a part of most people’s everyday lives and so are the deathly self-sabotage we call “hangovers past the age of 25.” To terminate this bad habit, services such as addiction treatment Merseyside can be contacted.

I also know that almost everyone complains about some sort of stomach issue whether it’s bloating, discomfort, constipation, etc.

I’m guilty of all of the above, so Swisse Ultiboost Liver Detox has become my bff since I started taking it. Your trusty old liver may have done you wrong after the company Christmas party, but it’s crucial for eliminating toxins from the body so you need to make nice. The Swisse Liver Detox supplement contains milk thistle to aid in the detoxification process, as well as turmeric and artichoke to provide relief from occasional indigestion and bloating! If I would have known that artichoke helps to relieve stomach issues, I would have been ordering way more spinach and artichoke dip all this time.

Since taking Swisse Ultiboost Liver Detox, my stomach has felt much more calm overall (impressive if you’ve ever seen the way I eat) and less bloated and uncomfortable which is usually a huge issue for me.

If your hair needs some help…

You’re soooo vain, you probably think this blog is about you. Just kidding, but it is. We’ve all seen the endless hair, skin and nails vitamins out there because duh, we all want to have better hair, skin and nails. I personally have very dry hair thanks to the natural curls, decades of blonde highlights, and overuse of heat tools, and I know I’m not alone in this.

The Swisse Ultiboost Hair Skin Nails Liquid is made with blood orange extract from Sicily (insert Lil Wayne quote about Sicilians with long hair) making it truly one of a kind. It also contains silica and vitamin C to promote collagen production, , which is KEY to hair growth, nail strength and radiant skin.

This supplement comes in a liquid form (that tastes like tart orange) and a pill supplement form. Pro tip: brush your teeth AFTER taking a shot of this in the morning and never before. Just trust me. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now and since hair growth is hard to judge in that time span, I’ll have to report back after a few more weeks. However, I will say that my skin is looking brighter!

K, what else?

These three products are just a few of my favorites within the Swisse Wellness supplement and vitamin line that target some common #millenialproblems. OF COURSE, they do make a multi-vitamin for women and for men that you should absolutely be taking regardless of what other upgrades you decide to go with from this list. Swisse Wellness has an incredibly extensive line of products, so I highly suggest poking around on their website to see what might be best for you!

I’d love to hear if you’ve tried any of Swisse’s products, or if you have any questions! Leave them in the comment section below.
