September marks the much-feared return to routine: the alarm clock rings early again, schools reopen, commitments overlap and work resumes at full speed. But after the holidays, the body often still needs some rest, while the mind becomes active and stress increases. It is precisely at this crucial moment that autumn tiredness makes itself felt and could affect energy, concentration and quality of sleep.
What can we do? In some cases, the right supplements are essential and help us better manage the return. Remember, however, that a good supplement, recommended by an expert for your specific situation, must always be combined with a balanced diet, constant hydration and a bit of daily movement.
Let’s see the areas in which they can help us this season.
Energy
As we return to the September routine, many feel a decline in physical and mental energy. Some nutrients and active ingredients can support energy metabolism and promote daily vitality. Among these:
It is important to underline that these active ingredients are often formulated together in synergistic combinations, where the different nutrients enhance each other for a more complete and effective effect than taking the individual ingredients. An example is MetaTonic® by Metagenics, a supplement designed to activate natural energy and support the ability to concentrate and cognitive efficiency. Contains group B vitamins, magnesium and taurine, useful for combating tiredness and improving mental performance.
Concentration and memory
After the holidays, the mind needs to get back into rhythm. Some nutrients can promote attention and cognitive performance:
Ideal for students and professionals, there is MetaStudent® which supports cognitive functions during periods of intense study or work and reduces mental and physical tiredness.
Sleep quality
Stress and thoughts in the evening can compromise good rest, making it difficult to fall asleep or causing awakenings at night. Some nutrients and active ingredients can promote deeper and more regenerating sleep:
In situations where it is more difficult to “switch off” and relax in the evening, it may be useful to integrate these active ingredients with specific formulations such as MetaRelax® Notte, by Metagenics, designed to support mental relaxation and promote sleep.
It is also essential to create a regular evening routine and reduce electronic stimuli and blue lights at least an hour before going to sleep.
Stress management
The return brings with it mental tension and emotional load but some nutrients can help modulate the stress response:
For example, Metagenics offers B-Dyn® which, thanks to the main B vitamins, inositol, PABA and choline, supports the nervous system, promotes psychological function and reduces tiredness and fatigue.
Don’t forget that you can also help yourself with breathing techniques, meditation or yoga.
Immune system
The change of season and returning to crowded environments can make the body more vulnerable. However, some nutrients help us support our body’s natural defenses:
A complete supplement is ImmuDefense Forte, formulated to support defenses and the immune system, thanks to the presence of vitamins C and D, green tea extract and beta-glucans.
Warning
Supplements should not be taken without evaluating the overall picture of your health. In case of pathologies, taking medications or particular conditions, it is always advisable to consult a doctor or qualified professional before use.
