3 Must-Have Supplements to Pack for Vacation

Is travel in your future? Don’t forget to throw these must-have supplements in your suitcase to feel your best before, during, and after your adventures!

Ashwagandha: To Reduce Stress*^

Traveling is fun and exciting, but also full of stressors you can’t always control—think flight delays, lost luggage, or disappointing weather, just to name a few. Ashwagandha—a popular, time-tested adaptogen—has the incredible ability to both relax and rejuvenate you to help your mind and body respond better in stressful situations. Take this supplement while traveling to let minor inconveniences roll off your back, so you can go with the flow and enjoy your trip—no matter what comes your way.*

For best results: You’ll get the most out of an ashwagandha product that concentrates its key compounds, called with anolides, to seven times the level of ordinary ashwagandha products. That means small amounts of the product will deliver big results.

Probiotics: To Ease Occasional Digestive Discomfort

Travel is all about trying new things, but when it’s foods and beverages you’re being adventurous with, a probiotic is a must for comfortable digestion! Foods you don’t normally indulge in can cause uncomfortable bloating, occasional diarrhea or constipation, and overall indigestion—no one’s favorite symptoms (especially when you’re away from home). Thankfully, you can try exciting new foods and keep your system on track with a daily probiotic that supports complete digestive health. Well studied probiotics like Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and Bifidobacterium bifidum are perfect for anyone looking for digestive support, including individuals with diet sensitivities.*

For best results: You’ll want a probiotic that’s shelf-stable (aka—no refrigeration required), so you can take it on the go. Also look for a supplement that delivers 20 billion CFU for optimal digestive support.*

Melatonin: For a Good Night’s Sleep

Jet lag, noisy Airbnb neighbors, late nights out—there’s no end to what may disrupt your normal sleep patterns when you’re out of town. Enter melatonin. Highly regarded for its powerful ability to support healthy sleep and circadian rhythms, melatonin is necessary for every traveler who truly wants to get the most out of their vacay! A nightly dose can help you fall asleep and stay asleep—plus you’ll wake up feeling refreshed and ready for adventure.*

For best results: Take melatonin 1-2 hours before bedtime. Melatonin comes in a variety of dosages and forms so you can find the one that’s right for you. (A sustained-release formula is especially perfect for travelers looking for a consistent level of melatonin overnight, every night, to support deep, sound sleep.*)
