What are food supplements worth to combat winter fatigue?

In winter, food supplements are our best allies. In pharmacies, remedies anti-fatigue fill the shelves. Vitamins C, D, magnesium, natural products, royal jelly … Each customer has their own little preference. The vitamin C is advised for tone, magnesium against stress and a mixture of several vitamins would be useful to strengthen immunity.

Each year, Patrick Sitbon, doctor of pharmacy, sees more requests for these products but especially for natural products based on plant extracts. “We have a much more varied demand, much more extensive references. These are products that we recommend “, he explains. But according to the Health Security Agency, food supplements to fight fatigue would be an illusion. According to several studies, they are even ineffective. Alone light and outdoor sports combined with a balanced diet are good remedies against winter fatigue.
