My Supplement Shelf: Pippa Campbell
First up is functional nutrition practitioner and nutrigenomics expert Pippa Campbell. Having previously struggled with IBS, hormonal imbalances, exhaustion and stress, Pippa now takes a 360° approach to her clients’ health, and is on a mission to discover why the body may be inflamed at a cellular level – something that can manifest as everything from eczema to mood disorders. Maintaining there’s no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to wellness, Pippa’s new-gen approach extends into the supplement sphere. Here’s what you’ll find on her shelf…
BEST CBD
Nutrigold CBD Oil, £44.51
“CBD has been a revelation in the health world – it can help with sleep and anxiety. As a supplement brand, Nutrigold is excellent quality and their CBD comes highly recommended.”
Available here
BEST FOR STRESS
Nutrigold Organic Ashwagandha, £21.55
“If you’re looking to beat stress, it could be worth trying adaptogenic herbs, which studies have shown can help with the body’s stress response. Nutrigold trumps again here, and their ashwagandha gets my vote.”
Available here
BEST FOR KIDS
Pure Encapsulations Colostrum 40%, £52.60
“Colostrum is naturally found in a mother’s milk and is great for immunity as it contains high levels of natural antibodies. This is a good supplement for infants as it comes in powder form.”
Available here
BEST FOR WINTER
Nutrigold Vegan D3, £10.50
"Vitamin D is a must for most people and it’s a good idea to get your levels tested, especially at the start of winter. This formula contains vitamin D3 with added vitamins A and K, which work well together.”
Available here
BEST FOR STAVING OFF COLDS
Allergy Research Group Humic Acid, £51.25
“When I feel a bug or sniffle coming on, or someone close to me is under the weather, I take humic acid, which is a potent natural anti-viral substance.”
Available here
BEST FOR IMMUNITY
Nutrigold Saccharomyces Boulardii, £20.20 (was £25.25)
“A yeast that functions like a probiotic in the body, this supplement can protect your body from pathogens and modulate different parts of the immune system.”
Available here
BEST FOR ENERGY
Higher Nature Co-Enzyme Q10, £12.95
“I take a supplement for optimal energy levels daily, but particularly like co-enzyme Q10 for a pre-workout boost. Several studies have suggested it can improve exercise performance and aerobic power.”
Available here
BEST FOR SLEEP
Nutri Advanced 5-HTP, £20.80
“I often recommend 5-HTP to my clients. It’s a naturally-occurring amino acid that supports the body’s production of serotonin, a hormone known for its role in wellbeing and ability to regulate the sleep-wake cycle.”
Available here
BEST FOR MOOD
Stabilium 200, £48.91
“Stabilium is naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids and research shows it can be helpful for coping with emotional stress, energy, memory and mood. It was even used by the ancient Romans to improve resilience to physical stress.”
Available here
BEST FOR WOMEN
Pure Encapsulations DIM Ultra, £50.50
“I have had my DNA tested, which revealed I struggle to metabolise oestrogen. I therefore take DIM to support oestrogen detoxification, which helps with PMT. Do not take this supplement without understanding your own detox pathways.”
Available here
BEST NATURAL PROBIOTIC
Live Kefir Company Coconut Kefir, From £19.98 For An 11 Day Supply
“I eat lots of pre- and probiotic foods so I don’t feel the need for an additional supplement. Throughout the week, I eat plenty of coconut kefir and apple cider vinegar, both of which are packed with beneficial bacteria and are good for the gut.”
Available here
BEST FOR DIGESTION
Metabolic Nutrition Kristazyme, £35.54
“When I eat out, I take a digestive enzyme to help my body digest heavier meals. Nutrigold is great for quality enzymes but I also love Metabolic Nutrition’s version – it’s vegan-friendly and formulated to optimise the breakdown of protein, fats and carbs.”
Available here
BEST FOR INFLAMMATION
Doctor’s Best Proteolytic Enzyme, £18.68
“As a keen gym-goer, I take an amino acid complex before working out, and a proteolytic enzyme after to reduce inflammation. Research shows proteolytic enzymes may help reduce muscle soreness and enhance recovery.”
Available here
BEST FOR DETOX
Designs For Health Phosphatidylcholine, £36.50
“This is a great supplement to support healthy liver function. DNA tests have revealed I struggle with bile issues and do not detox well, so this is a must.”
Available here
BEST FOR BUSY DAYS
Nature’s Answer Liquorice, £8.86
“Busy working mums can suffer with low cortisol levels, which can lead to fatigue, decreased appetite, dizziness and nausea. I take liquid liquorice in the morning to naturally raise my cortisol levels.”
Available here
BEST FOR WINTER HEALTH
Lipsomal Vitamin C, £34.99
“When it comes to immunity, liposomal vitamin C is far superior to vitamin C capsules. Liposomal technology enables vitamins to travel directly to your cells, making it more bioavailable and effective.”
