Immunity Supplements

Immunity supplements provide essential nutrients that help support your body's ability to fend off infections, reduce inflammation, and recover from damage. Vitamin D, which we get from sunlight, is crucial for immune function, while magnesium helps support its absorption and helps lower inflammation. Vitamin C fuels your defences, vitamin A bolsters them, zinc helps fight off invaders, and omega-3 supports cell regrowth and reduces inflammation. Together, these nutrients keep you strong and resilient. As a British brand, we create potent vitamin D, magnesium and omega-3 supplements because it's hard to get enough from food alone, and our location doesn't quite cover it on this rainy island. 

Taking immunity supplements helps support your body in building a strong and resilient immune system. Think of it like layering up for a long trek: you'll be prepared to weather the inevitable downpours, endure baltic winds and unseasonable sun exposure as you reach the summit. In other words, it helps you defend against infections, recover more quickly from illness, and bounce back faster from injuries or weaknesses. 

Your body isn't a machine, and there's no single method for improving immunity. But here's what we know: Exercise you enjoy does two important things: raising your heart rate to improve circulation (doctors recommend 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week), and getting a sweat on helps flush out toxins. Drinking enough water moves nutrients around your body and helps get rid of the nasties. Then comes the impossible feat: reducing stress and getting enough sleep. Whether it's yoga, meditation, or rage rooms—whatever works for you—find ways to lower the cortisol running riot in your body and replenish it with real rest. Finally, if your diet or lifestyle is depleting your vitamins and minerals, or age is taking its toll, you might want to consider supplements. We know this great brand...

Vitamin D is supported by significant research, enough that the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) has approved several health claims. Without sufficient vitamin D, we may be at greater risk of autoimmunity and infection. Even the British government recommends a minimum daily dose.

Vitamin D contributes to:

• The normal function of the immune system
• The maintenance of normal muscle function
• The maintenance of normal bones
• The maintenance of normal teeth
• Normal blood calcium levels
• Normal absorption/utilisation of calcium and phosphorus
• Has a role in the process of cell division
  

Vitamin K contributes to:

• The maintenance of normal bones
• Normal blood clotting

Magnesium contributes to:

• A reduction of tiredness and fatigue
• Electrolyte balance
• Normal energy-yielding metabolism
• Normal functioning of the nervous system
• Normal muscle function (neurotransmission and muscle contraction, including heart muscle)
• Normal protein synthesis
• Normal psychological function
• The maintenance of normal bones
• The maintenance of normal teeth
• Plays a role in the process of cell division

There are no known side effects when taking Rise & Shine, Beam & Balance or Ready & Rested as directed. However, as with all supplements, exceeding the recommended dose can lead to potential health issues.

• Rise & Shine + Beam & Balance: Taking too much vitamin D can raise calcium levels in your blood, leading to nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, constipation, dizziness, fatigue, excessive thirst, poor appetite, and frequent urination. The upper limit is 4000 IU daily (8 Rise & Shine capsules or 3 sprays of Beam & Balance).
  
  
• Beam & Balance: Always check with your doctor before taking this supplement if you:
  • Are pregnant, breastfeeding, or about to have surgery
  • Have any health concerns or conditions

If you're on blood-thinning medication, avoid taking vitamin K2, which is included in Beam & Balance.

Ready & Rested: It’s possible to take too much magnesium. In the short term, this would lead to digestive discomfort, loose stools or diarrhoea. It's extremely rare, but magnesium can build up in the system over time, leading to more serious side effects. To stay on the safe side, stick to our recommended dosage, and if you have any concerns, check in with your GP or Health Practitioner.

All three supplements are suitable for children but with specific age recommendations.

Beam & Balance

Beam & Balance spray makes dosage simple: Spray inside the cheek or under the tongue for maximum absorption.

Recommended doses:

• Children (3-10 years): 1 spray a day
• Young people (11-17 years): up to 3 sprays a day
• Adults (18+ years): up to 3 sprays a day

Rise & Shine

Rise & Shine is formulated for those aged 12 and above.

Recommended dose:

• Ages 12+: 2 capsules a day

Ready & Rested

One capsule is safe for children aged 4 and above, but the size may be too large for younger children to swallow.

Recommended doses:

• Children (4-9 years): 1 capsule a day
• Children (9-14 years): Up to 2 capsules a day

Teens & adults (14+ years): Up to 3 capsules a day

Rise & Shine and Beam & Balance Unflavoured are suitable (and beneficial) during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, always check with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplements during pregnancy or breastfeeding. 

Magnesium is generally considered safe during pregnancy. However, we recommend limiting your intake of Ready & Rested to a maximum of 2 capsules (250mg) per day.

Omega-3 fats, vitamin D, and magnesium are absorbed quickly into the bloodstream, so you may notice some benefits early on. However, if you're correcting a deficiency, have a health condition, or experience high stress, poor sleep, an imbalanced diet, or excess alcohol, it may take longer to see meaningful improvements

Everyone’s different, and factors like diet, absorption rate, and overall nutrient levels will influence how quickly you feel a difference. Generally, we recommend reassessing after 1-3 months of consistent use 

Keep supplements out of reach of children. Never use if the safety seal is damaged or missing. Always supervise children taking any supplements.

Storage Instructions for immunity supplements:

Beam & Balance: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight (vitamin K2 is light-sensitive). No refrigeration needed.

Rise & Shine: Store in a cool, dry place. No refrigeration needed.

Ready & Rested: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. No refrigeration needed.

Good news: Our super-strength vitamin D Beam & Balance sprays (peppermint and unflavoured) are both suitable for vegans and vegetarians. The cholecalciferol that makes up vitamin D is 100% plant-origin, produced from algae with MCT from coconut oil. While many D3 supplements contain cholecalciferol from sheep's wool, ours never does. All ingredients in Ready & Rested magnesium, including the capsule shell, are suitable for vegans

Rise & Shine isn't suitable for vegetarians or vegans as it contains fish oil. Don't despair, though - we make a great vegan alternative, Vim & Vigour our high-strength omega-3 with the powerful antioxidant astaxanthin for added immune support. You can read up on astaxanthin, here.
