Frequently Asked Questions

What does Vitamin C do?

Vitamin C has a range of functions, including support for your immune system and maintaining normal skin health. It is also a powerful antioxidant that can protect your cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals, especially in times of stress or illness. Vitamin C also plays an important role in the production and absorption of other vital micronutrients too. It helps your body absorb iron, contributing to anaemia prevention, and is involved in regenerating the reduced form of Vitamin E – another micronutrient with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, water-soluble Vitamin C contributes to the formation of collagen, a protein plays an vital role in building and supporting many tissues: from bones and cartilage to skin, hair, eyes, gums and blood vessels.

Signs that you may not be getting enough Vitamin C include: fatigue and weakness, dry skin and hair, irritability, slow wound healing, getting ill frequently, bruising easily, bleeding gums and anaemia.

What does Vitamin A do?

Vitamin A, otherwise known as retinol, has antioxidant properties similar to Vitamin C that helps protect cells against oxidative stress and damage caused by environmental toxins. It also serves several other important functions in your body, contributing to:

– Normal iron metabolism

– Maintenance of normal skin and mucous membranes

– Maintenance of normal vision

– Normal function of the immune system

– The process of cell specialisation/differentiation

Good dietary sources of Vitamin A include cheese, eggs, oily fish, liver, milk and yoghurt.

What is Vitamin C?

Vitamin C, otherwise known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble Vitamin that is found naturally in citrus and other fruits and vegetables, such as oranges, strawberries, and broccoli. Since our bodies cannot make or store Vitamin C, it is important that we obtain enough of it through our diets and by taking supplements. Not only is it an essential micronutrient, Vitamin C is also a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress caused by illness, inflammation, and environmental toxins such as pollution and ultraviolet (UV) light.

What does Vitamin B do?

There are 7 different B Vitamins that we offer here at Get A Drip: B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), B6 (Pyridoxine), Biotin (B7), and B12 (Cobalamin – we offer three different forms). We do not currently offer Folate (Vitamin B9).

Each of these B Vitamins are essential micronutrients that play a vital role in helping you maintain good health and wellbeing. They are essential for your overall bodily function, helping support areas such as: energy levels, normal nerve function, eyesight, muscle health, brain function, digestion, immunity, cardiovascular health, cell health and division, hormonal balance, red blood cell formation, skin, and much more.

The richest sources of B Vitamins are animal-based: meat (especially organ meats), fish, poultry, seafood, eggs, and dairy products. This is why people who eat a primarily plant-based diet are more susceptible to Vitamin B deficiencies. Other risk factors include the use of certain medications, and pre-existing health conditions such as digestive issues or excessive alcohol use.

Signs you may not be getting enough B Vitamins include: fatigue, low energy, getting ill often, cracks on and around the lips, anaemia, irritability or depression, numbness or tingling in the hands or feet, nausea, constipation or diarrhoea, and poor skin health. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, please see your GP and have some diagnostic blood tests done.

How do I support my immune system?

Your immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, organs, and the substances they make that helps the body fight infections and other diseases. It is your body’s defence system against against viruses, bacteria, parasites and other pathogens that can cause you harm. Here are some ways to support your immune health:

– Eat a healthy and balanced diet to help prevent Vitamin deficiencies, which can negatively impact normal immune function. Many micronutrients contribute to your immune health, including Vitamin C, Selenium, Amino Acids, Zinc, Vitamin D, and B Vitamins: which is why it is important to eat a varied diet and take supplements if needed, in order to maintain optimal levels of these Vitamins and minerals.

– Take care of your gut health

– Avoid excessive alcohol consumption and smoke inhalation

– Practice good hygiene habits, such as proper hand washing

– Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight

– Get enough good quality sleep

– Minimise stress in your daily life

– Make sure to go to your GP for regular check-ups, and to seek their attention if you don’t feel like your usual self

Look after your immune system and it will look after you!

What is Vitamin D good for?

Vitamin D is vital for your overall good health and wellbeing. It helps maintain your immune system and support strong bones, teeth and muscles, reducing your risk of osteoporosis. It aids the absorption and storage of calcium in your skeletal tissue, while regulating the cells which build and maintain your bones. There are two forms of Vitamin D most commonly found in your diet and supplements: Vitamin D2 and Vitamin D3. Both are good for the same processes within your body. The difference is that Vitamin D3 is only found in animal-based sources, while D2 mainly comes from plant-based sources and fortified foods such as breakfast cereals.

Being in deficient in Vitamin D can put your health at risk. Signs you may be low in Vitamin D include: getting ill often, hair loss, joint and back pain, muscle weakness, tiredness and fatigue, low mood, impaired wound healing, poor sleep, and brain fog.

How do I recover from the flu?

The best way to treat the flu is simply to obtain lots of rest and get plenty of fluids. Fluids are important to replace hydration and electrolytes lost via sweating due to fever, and your body needs rest so that it can use your energy for fighting off the infection effectively. Dehydration will make you feel much worse than you do already, so it is best to stay hydrated to prevent this. Fluids such as isotonic energy drinks and bone broth can be especially helpful for replenishing hydration and electrolytes, as are intravenous (IV) drips.

You can take over-the-counter (OTC) medications such as paracetamol and ibuprofen to help relieve any aches and pains and bring your temperature down. Avoid smoking and make sure you eat healthy foods, particularly those rich in Vitamin C, B Vitamins, and minerals such as zinc and selenium, to help support your immune system.

How can I avoid getting the flu?

To reduce your chance of catching the flu, the NHS emphasises the importance of practicing good hygiene by washing your hands regularly with warm water and soap. Try to avoid touching your mouth, eyes and nose, as this is the flu virus can spread easily from surfaces as well as via air droplets. Regularly disinfect and sanitise common household surfaces, too.

Eating a healthy and balanced diet is crucial for maintaining your immune system. Vitamin C, B Vitamins, and minerals such as zinc and selenium, are particularly key in helping support normal immune function. Getting enough sleep is also important for keeping your immune system fighting fit.

The flu vaccine is a safe and effective vaccine. It’s offered every year on the NHS to help protect people at risk of getting seriously ill from flu. Risk groups include: adults over 50 years of age, those who are pregnant, asthmatic individuals, and front-line workers.

How can I support my immune system?

Eating a healthy and balanced diet is crucial for maintaining your immune system. Vitamin C, B Vitamins, and minerals such as zinc and selenium, are particularly key in helping support normal immune function. Getting enough sleep is also important for keeping your immune system fighting fit.

Avoid smoking and passive smoke inhalation. This will aid in protecting your mucus membranes, nasal passages, mouth, throat, and lungs. Practice sensible alcohol consumption and avoid binge drinking also.

Make sure you get enough rest and sleep to keep your immune system healthy, and stay well-hydrated too.

Where do we get Vitamin D from?

Vitamin D can be obtained by spending time in the sun, eating the right foods, and taking Vitamin D supplements such as oral capsules or intramuscular (IM) Booster Shot Injections.

Good dietary sources of Vitamin D include oily fish, red meat, fortified cereals, mushrooms and egg yolks.

What is Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) good for?

Vitamin B2, otherwise known as Riboflavin, contributes to normal: energy-yielding metabolism, nervous system function, normal skin and mucous membrane maintenance, red blood cell maintenance, skin health, vision, metabolism of iron, protection of cells from oxidative stress, and reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
