To help you stay energised, hydrated and glowing all summer.
Summer is a time for movement, sunshine, and spontaneity. But with longer days and higher temperatures comes extra demand on your body—from dehydration and nutrient depletion to increased joint stress and seasonal allergies. The right supplements can make all the difference in helping you feel your best while you make the most of the season. Here’s what to consider adding to your summer wellness routine—and why.
1. Collagen
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body - and it's essential for supporting healthy skin, hair, nails, and joints. During summer, your collagen stores are under extra pressure. The sun's UV rays break down collagen in the skin, contributing to dryness, fine lines, and a dull complexion.
Supplementing with collagen may help:
-
Improve skin elasticity and hydration, giving you that healthy summer glow.
-
Strengthen your hair and nails, which can become brittle from sun and saltwater exposure.
-
Protect your joints and promote faster recovery from increased physical activity like hiking, running, or long walks on the beach.
Why take it in the summer?
Because you're likely sweating more, moving more, and spending more time in the sun- all things that can deplete your collagen levels. A daily collagen supplement helps counteract that and keeps your body resilient.

2. Vitamin C
You’ve probably reached for Vitamin C during cold season, but it’s just as important - if not more so- in summer. As a powerful antioxidant, it can help protect your skin from oxidative stress caused by sun exposure. It is also known to play a role in collagen production, so pairing it with a collagen supplement enhances the benefits of both.
Vitamin C can play a role in:
-
Helping you stay hydrated.
-
Supporting your immune system - a plus when you're traveling or always on the move.
-
Helping maintain steady energy levels through long summer days.
Why take it in summer?
Because you lose more vitamin C through sweat and physical exertion. It’s also your skin’s best friend during months of more UV exposure than usual.

3. Multi-Vitamins
Summer can throw your usual healthy habits out the window. With BBQs, travel, late nights, and irregular meals, it’s easy to miss out on essential nutrients - especially B vitamins, magnesium, and zinc, which get depleted more quickly in hot weather.
A high-quality multivitamin may help:
-
Fill nutritional gaps caused by a less consistent diet.
-
Replenish key nutrients lost through sweating.
-
Support overall energy levels, immunity, and recovery.
Why take it in summer?
Because it’s a convenient way to help you feel your best. A multivitamin can help ensure you're not running on empty when life gets busy.

4. Quercetin
If you suffer from hay fever or seasonal allergies, summer can be a bit of a battle. Quercetin is a natural plant compound that may support the body’s response to histamine and inflammation. It’s thought to help stabilise the cells that release histamine, which could play a role in managing allergy symptoms.
Quercetin may help:
-
Reduce sneezing, itchy eyes, and runny nose from pollen or grass.
-
Minimise inflammation in the respiratory system.
-
Support your immune response without the drowsy side effects of antihistamines.
Why take it in summer?
Because it works proactively to reduce your body’s allergic response, helping you enjoy more time outdoors without the usual discomfort. For best results, start taking it in early summer- before hay fever season hits its peak - so your system is already supported when allergens are at their highest.

5. Joint Complex
Summer often means more activity - bike rides, gardening, hiking trips, even impromptu dance sessions at outdoor festivals. All of that movement is great, but it can put extra stress on your joints, especially if you’re not used to it after a more sedentary winter.
Macánta Nutrition Joint Complex with UC-II® Collagen may help:
-
Support cartilage health and long-term joint function.
-
Reduce inflammation and ease stiffness.
-
Promote faster recovery from increased movement and activity.
Why take it in summer?
Because it helps you move more freely and comfortably—so you can say yes to that last-minute walk, swim, or outdoor adventure without worrying about the aches afterward.
