Vitamins
Vitamins: multivitamins, vitamin D, C and B
A varied diet provides most of the vitamins you need, but some periods or lifestyles make things harder: winter, busy weeks, a vegetarian diet or intensive training. Vitamin supplements can then complement your diet, without replacing it.
Vitamin D is the most sought-after in winter: in Luxembourg, from October to March, the sun is too low for the skin to make enough of it. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, and vitamin K, often combined with it (D3 + K2), contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. You will find Olimp Gold-Vit D3+K2, Body Attack Vitamin D3+K2 Depot, Inlead D3 + K2 + Magnesium and QNT Care Vitamin D3. As for multivitamins: Optimum Nutrition Opti-Men and Opti-Women, ESN Vitamin Stack and Athlete Stack, Body Attack Daily Stack and Physalis Multivit A-Z. Vitamin C and vitamins B12 and B6 contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Follow the stated daily dose and take into account any other supplements you use. Everything about vitamin D in winter: read our vitamin D guide. For magnesium, see our minerals range.
Frequently asked questions
Should I take vitamin D in winter?
In Luxembourg, from October to March, the skin makes very little. A supplement can help cover your needs; if in doubt, a blood test at your doctor's tells you where you stand.
Why combine vitamin D3 and K2?
They are two fat-soluble vitamins often combined: vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, as does vitamin K.
Is a multivitamin useful?
It can complement an unbalanced diet or a busy period. It does not replace a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
