Vitamins You Should Take To Every Festival

Last Updated: 24/08/2023

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 staying hydrated while dancing, restoring certain nutrients can help to ensure your festival experience is a good one.

Electrolytes

Warmer weather and all-day dancing means it’s easy for you to get dehydrated quickly. Sipping water can help, but when we sweat we lose electrolytes too, not just water. Electrolytes are minerals – like sodium and magnesium – that help your body get the most out of the water you drink.

Fortunately, there’s a quick and convenient way for you to top up on electrolytes while on the go. Hydrate is our electrolyte-powered drink powder with magnesium, vitamin C to reduce tiredness, and all 8 B vitamins for overall wellbeing.

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

At a festival you’re constantly rushing to different artists and catching up with friends, so most meals and snacks happen on-the-go. 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

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.
