Now, here\u2019s the thing about summer. It\u2019s the perfect time to go travelling and exploring new things. But traveller\u2019s diarrhoea is a real thing. You\u2019re exposed to \u201cbad\u201d bacteria everywhere \u2013 your food, transportation, accommodation, the people you come into contact with, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, why not fight bad bacteria with good bacteria? Sounds feasible, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, according to studies, live cultures can indeed help prevent and treat travellers\u2019 diarrhoea<\/strong>. More specifically, these strains have been shown to be effective – Lactobacillus acidophilus<\/em>, Lactobacillus rhamnosus<\/em>, Bifidobacterium bifidum<\/em>, and Saccharomyces boulardii <\/em>(1, 2).<\/p>\n\n\n The first 3 strains mentioned above are all included in our very own 50 Billion CFU Adult Live Cultures and Fibre<\/strong><\/a>! But we didn\u2019t stop at 3 strains. We added seven more for a total of 10 patented Lactobacillus<\/em> and Bifidobacterium<\/em> strains! We also added 2 types of prebiotics within each capsule, too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For optimal protection, we recommend you start supplementing with live cultures at least a week before your summer travels<\/strong>. This will allow the good bacteria to start populating in your gut and make it less likely for bad bacteria to overcome them later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our live cultures also do not need refrigeration, which makes them perfect for travelling!<\/strong> Just try not to expose them to heat as the microbes can easily die in hot conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Our Women\u2019s Live Cultures & Fibre<\/strong><\/a> is perfect for ladies who also require feminine health support. This supplement has a strength of 6 Billion CFU, and contains 4 strains of live cultures, 2 types of fibre, cranberry powder, and d-mannose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Our Kids\u2019 Live Cultures & Fibre<\/strong><\/a> is sugar-free and gentle enough for kids\u2019 sensitive tummies. It has a strength of 6 Billion CFU, and contains 2 strains of live cultures and 2 types of fibre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Declining natural collagen production can lead to wrinkles and fine lines on your face when you reach your 20s. But you know what else can speed up wrinkle formation? The summer sun! Too much sun exposure can dry and damage your skin<\/strong>, making you look years older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But the sun\u2019s not the only culprit \u2013 saltwater, chlorine, smoking, and alcohol <\/strong>can all contribute to making your skin look very wrinkled. You may not see the ageing effect right away, but if you don\u2019t do anything about it, will definitely start making an appearance soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fortunately, Collagen Peptides<\/strong> can help! Peptides are the bioavailable form of collagen<\/strong>, meaning the body no longer needs to break them down in order to use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Collagen provides structural support for sun-kissed skin, repairs damaged tissue, restores your hair and nails to good health, and more! It truly is one of the best supplements for summer to take care of skin health and beyond. Here\u2019s a more comprehensive list of collagen\u2019s amazing health benefits<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not sure how much collagen you should take for best results? Check out this infographic:<\/p>\n\n\n Summer colours may not be as vibrant as autumn’s but they\u2019re lovely all the same, especially the different shades of green! Omega-3 is a supplement that can help you appreciate all the beautiful sights and colours of summer<\/strong>. Without this essential nutrient, we won\u2019t be able to see the world around us clearly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You see, Omega-3 is crucial to eye development and maintenance<\/strong>. It can help <\/strong>alleviate dry eye symptoms<\/a>, a condition that can worsen with increased exposure to sunlight, salt in seawater, chlorine in pools, and dust particles in the air. Moreover, it can also help ease the discomfort of wearing contact <\/strong>lenses for extended periods (3). \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, you can get Omega-3 fish oil naturally from different kinds of fatty fish. But if you\u2019re not a fan of eating fish, then supplementing with our Ultra Pure Omega-3 Fish Oil<\/strong><\/a> is the next best thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s the great thing about Omega-3 though \u2013 its benefits aren\u2019t limited to eye health<\/strong>. It\u2019s one of the most powerful anti-inflammatories, so its benefits are wide-ranging! Here\u2019s an infographic on the 24 ways Omega-3 can help improve your life:<\/p>\n\n\n Free radicals are getting a lot of bad rap nowadays. But did you know they\u2019re actually a natural byproduct of metabolism<\/strong> and other chemical processes in the body? As long as there are enough antioxidants to neutralize them, they\u2019re not something to worry about (4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, external factors such as cigarette smoking, pollutants, and toxic chemicals<\/strong> can cause free radical formation to go into overdrive. Plus, during the summer season, there\u2019s also a really sunny culprit\u2026 the sun\u2019s ultraviolet rays<\/strong> (5)! Too much sun exposure for extended periods can even put you at risk of skin cancer (6).<\/p>\n\n\n\n To prevent free radicals from ruining your summer fun, take precautions to avoid excessive UV exposure<\/strong>. This means applying sunscreen<\/strong> every time you head out into the sun and eating plenty of antioxidant-rich foods<\/strong> like fruits and vegetables. For well-rounded protection, take an antioxidant supplement<\/strong> such as Glutathione.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Why glutathione? Well, it\u2019s the body\u2019s master antioxidant<\/strong>. It not only fights free radicals, but it can also regenerate other antioxidants, like vitamins C and E! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Trying out new flavours and exploring food cultures in different places is a great way to spend summer. But you\u2019ll probably be so immersed in your gastronomic adventures that you may not realize you\u2019re missing some key nutrients in your diet<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s where a high-quality multivitamin comes in \u2013 it can help you get all the essential nutrients your body needs <\/strong>even when you\u2019re in Dora-the-explorer mode. But there are so many multivitamin brands out there, which one\u2019s right for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, a comprehensive multivitamin like our Adult Multivitamin<\/strong> and Women\u2019s Prenatal Multivitamin<\/strong> are both excellent choices!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both products contain 25 essential vitamins and minerals<\/strong>, including the bioactive forms of Vitamins B6, B12, and B9 (5-MTHF Activated Folate). Also, both include natural antioxidants and energy and immunity-boosters<\/strong> to protect you against summer pathogens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That said, the main difference between these two products are the dosages. Our Women\u2019s Prenatal Multivitamin is formulated to support women\u2019s nutrition and any possible pregnancy<\/strong> (planned or otherwise). This is important because neural tube defects in a developing fetus occur within the first month of pregnancy, a time when many women are blissfully unaware they\u2019re even pregnant! Taking a prenatal vitamin helps cover all the bases \u2013 your nutrition and a future offspring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just because you\u2019re getting on in years doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t enjoy summer anymore! Sure, aching joints may limit movement and prevent you from indulging in everything summer has to offer. It\u2019s tough when even the mildest, senior-friendly activities can still cause joint pain and discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n But don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ve formulated our Intelligent Labs Glucosamine Complex<\/a><\/strong> to help relieve joint pain and arthritis. Our supplement features 1500mg of Glucosamine, a natural chemical derived from shellfish. Studies show that glucosamine helps relieve knee pain and preserve joint structure in osteoarthritis patients<\/strong> (7).<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Intelligent](\"https:\/\/eu.intelligentlabs.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/the-truth-about-yogurt-live-cultures-05-9-300x300.jpg\")
