With our food often lacking in minerals and vitamins, and the stress of everyday life depleting important nutrients, it’s worth topping up to keep our bodies working well. From science-backed ingredients to decades of natural know-how, brands like Elite Supplements are making it easier to stay on track. Here are a few Vitamin C and gut health supplement brands to try – as well as some of the best probiotics in Singapore!
Health supplements for optimal wellness
Elite Supplements
Nearly 80% of Singapore residents engage in regular physical activity – one of the highest rates in Asia. Yet fewer than one in four adults can correctly identify what makes up a balanced meal. It’s the gap that inspired Australia’s #1 health and fitness supplement retailer to open its first international flagship to Singapore – offering not just premium products, but expert nutritional guidance and a community for everyone, from elite athletes to casual gym-goers, looking to feel and perform their best (both in the gym and beyond).
The flagship at Funan marks the brand’s debut in Asia. With over 120 outlets and more than 1.1 million customers, Elite Supplements has made its mark back home, earning spots on the Australian Financial Review’s Fast 100 list in 2023 and 2024 as one of the fastest growing companies in the health and wellness space.
Inside the Funan store, the range runs from protein powders and pre-workouts to vitamins and recovery blends. Staff are trained by certified nutrition professionals to offer guidance, and for those who prefer to shop online, Elite’s new Singapore e-commerce platform offers 24/7 access, with delivery and click-and-collect options. When your supplements are just a click away, staying consistent gets a whole lot easier.

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 health 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.
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. This gut health supplement effectively combines 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.
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.
