With our food lacking in minerals and vitamins, and the stress of everyday life sapping us of important nutrients, we need to top-up to keep our bodies working well. From science-backed ingredients to decades of natural knowledge, here are a few brands of health supplements and vitamins for kids (like yummy Vitamin C) – as well as some of the best probiotics in Singapore!
Health supplements for optimal wellness
Vitus Vitamin C – a plant-based powder
We all know vitamin C as a trusty ally in helping to ward off the common cold, but its benefits go beyond just immune support. This powerhouse nutrient can be a game-changer for your overall health. Regular intake of vitamin C is said to help combat fatigue, enhance metabolism, boost collagen production for healthier skin, alleviate muscle and joint discomfort, improve iron absorption, and protect cells from harmful free radicals.
While you can find vitamin C in foods like citrus fruits, strawberries, kiwi, broccoli, bell peppers, tomatoes and even potatoes, keeping track of whether you’re hitting your daily recommended intake can be tricky. Thankfully, a quality supplement can bridge the gap.
Vitus Vitamin C is a natural, plant-based powder that’s as delicious as it is effective. Sourced entirely from wholefoods, without any synthetic ingredients, this vegan-friendly powder packs the vitamin C punch of six to eight oranges in one serving. Featuring three of the richest sources of vitamin C – acerola berry, camu camu and kakadu plum – this supplement can be added to your daily routine simply by mixing it with water, stirring it into smoothies, or sprinkling over yoghurt or muesli for a convenient, tasty boost for your immune system.
Vitus Vitamin C is available on Redmart, Lazada and curaxia.com.sg.

Imagine there was a Vitamin C gummy for our kiddos made entirely from real food, free from added sugar and containing nothing nasty? New Zealand brand MadeFrom’s range of health supplements ticks all of these boxes and more!

Akesi’s plant-based gut health supplements – the best probiotics in Singapore!
If you’re wanting fewer pills in your family’s wellbeing toolkit, look no further than the Akesi Bio-Fermented drinks. It’s well-known as being one of the best probiotics in Singapore!
Taking an Akesi Bio-Fermented drink daily is an easy way to repopulate different strains of healthy bacteria directly to the gut. The drinks effectively combine beneficial bacterial and yeast species like Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus and Saccharomyces. They also contain essential nutrients from plants including anthocyanins, curcuminoids and polyphenols. Many people lack these due to having not enough plant diversity in their dietary choices. The Akesi Bio-Fermented range is enjoyable to consume, too. They’re a sugar-free and nutritionally low-calorie alternative to juice, soda and cultured milk drinks.
Akesi carries a strong track record of customers reporting better health outcomes after taking these probiotics in Singapore. Nutritionists and doctors are endorsing Akesi and also buying the plant-based Bio-Fermented drinks for their own families. The range comes in family-friendly one-month supply bottles for $58. If you’re travelling, you can opt for 100ml supply bottles that last a week. Special bundle and subscription prices are also available.
Proteus Nutrition’s terrific turmeric extract
Founded by a group of medical and nutrition professionals as a response to the lack of science-backed health supplements available in the market today, Proteus creates a range of products. These encompass sleep supplements, multivitamins for adults and delicious dessert protein shakes, amongst others – that are safe, effective, and affordable.
Their latest star product is LPS-Curcumin, a phytochemical extracted from turmeric. Used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine, it’s been reported to offer a large number of benefits; these include reduced risk of certain cancers, fat loss and inflammation reduction. While curcumin isn’t absorbed into the body when we eat turmeric, researchers have been able to overcome this obstacle by developing formulations that coat microscopic curcumin particles with lecithin, to increase its absorption rate.
LPS-Curcumin is $60 per tub of 60 capsules, to be taken twice daily.
