Best Gummies – Nutriburst Triple Immunity Gummies
Boosting your immune system feels as important as ever and there is no better way to do this than with a delicious gummy. This power packed supplement is anchored by three essential nutrients; Vitamin C, D3 and Zinc to help you feeling healthy and strong.
Best At-Home Health Test – Glycanage
With three decades of rigorous scientific research, the at-home GlycanAge test measures your current health and gives you a biological age based on IgG glycans which reflect both genetics and lifestyle factors that can affect the way we age. It was super easy to do, totally painless and even easier to send in. Results came back quickly and I had a full debrief with one of their experts. The insights it gave me were incredible. I have started implementing all the changes that their experts have suggested and would love to do a follow up test in a few months to see how I fare.
Best Supplement Brand – Heights
Consisting of two brilliant supplements, Heights offers customers Vitals, a high-impact formula of 20 fundamental nutrients for the body and mind, and Biotic, a vegan probiotic formula proven to boost gut health. The reason we love Heights so much as a supplement brand is that it is ultimately rooted in science and has studies to back up the claims they make, plus the reviews from customers are brilliant – with nearly all 5-stars across the board.
Best Immunity Supplement – Sisterly
Placing quality at the forefront of its formulation, Sisterly has created a women-focused supplement that will support your immunity all year round. The Elevator was developed by Dr. Daniel Jones PhD BSc, an award winning scientist, who has a particular interest in female health and has developed a number of award winning nutritional formulations.
Best CBD Supplement – Mindful Extracts
It is now widely known that CBD can have a great effect on calming the body and mind. Whether you are new to CBD or a seasoned user, Mindful Extracts have the perfect product for you. Their oils are easy to use and highly effective, plus we love their pretty pastel packaging as well.
Best Vegan supplement – Oskia
We have long been a huge fan of the brand Oskia for all their skincare, and now also love them for their Vegan MSM Bio-Plus Supplement that supports skin from the inside out (and has the added benefit of supporting the immune system too). Clinically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles by boosting collagen and elastin production, the supplement also acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory.
Best 40+ Wellness Product – The Better Menopause
Considering most of the research over the past few years has pointed to good health starting in your gut, it is no surprise that a good menopause also begins there too. The Better Menopause have created an expert-led biotic supplement that is proven to support women’s hormones and help ease unwanted symptoms of the menopause. Genius.
Best for Kids Health – Better You
Not only do BetterYou offer amazing, high-quality vitamin sprays but they also have an array of kids’ Magnesium products too – from bath flakes to lotions. These have been transformative in helping my children deal with growing pains.
Best Newcomer – Raise and Replenish
This brand has burst onto the scene and got off to an outstanding start with stockists like Daylesford and Harvey Nichols and for good reason, not only their plant-based blends delicious but they’re packed full of goodness too and scored incredibly well on Zoe. I now can’t finish the day without my Catch Some Zen “Hot Chocolate”.
Best Protein Powder – HERMOSA
I’ve taken the trialling and testing of protein powders seriously for this year’s Wellness Awards, getting creative in the kitchen with the various ways I can up my protein intake with a scoop of powder, from yoghurt-based cheesecakes to post-workout cookies and the taste that always comes out on top is HERMOSA. I opt for the vegan blend in chocolate for its exceptional flavour, the smooth consistency is great for the paired back water approach and lends itself well to protein-packed concoctions that branch outside of shakes. Rich in amino acids, HERMOSA steer clear of artificial sweeteners with an ingredient list you can trust.
Best Wellness Destination – AIRE Ancient Baths London
AIRE Ancient Baths is a mecca for relaxation and rejuvenation, it’s hard to believe it’s right in the heart of London, hidden in the basement of an 18th-century townhouse. The heavenly underground bath temple draws inspiration from the traditional thermal baths used by the ancient Romans and Greeks. Time warps inside the ragged walls of the spa, lit by candle to add to the ambience. Encouraged to leave your phone in the locker, this immersive experience is a mini detox for the mind, body and soul. The next best thing to a holiday, a self-care day spent at AIRE Ancient Baths allows you to fully disconnect and unwind.
Best Fitness Studio – Barry’s
Pioneering the boutique fitness movement, Barry’s iconic workout has stood the test of time, with classes still packed with fitness buffs seeking that euphoric endorphin fix that can’t be replicated elsewhere. Once the lights go down and the music turns up, a sense of energy ignites in the Red Room, giving you a buzz even on the days you’re feeling depleted and that’s the magic of this group class. Spilt between the tread and the floor, this cardio-strength mash-up delivers stellar results for both mind and body!
Best Dental Care Brand – Polished London
On a mission to redefine the future of oral beauty, Polished London is one of the only brands on the market that reframe from using nasties such as parabens, sodium lauryl sulphate and triclosan swapping in ingredients which are safer, including natural oils, xylitol, hydroxyapatite, essential vitamins and minerals.
