Preparing for the Colder Season: Supporting Your Body and Mind

As the nights draw in and the air turns crisp, October marks the true beginning of autumn and a reminder that winter is just around the corner. For many of us, this change in season brings a shift in routines — warmer clothes, cosier evenings, and of course, a greater focus on looking after our health.

At Eladon, we often see more customers reaching for Elagen in the winter months. And it’s no surprise — this time of year is when people start to think more carefully about resilience, energy, and staying well through the colder days.

Why does winter affect us so much?

Less sunlight – shorter days can affect mood and energy levels.

Colder weather – we spend more time indoors, often in close contact with others.

Seasonal demands – from busy work schedules to festive preparations, winter can be a draining time physically and mentally.

Immune-supporting tips for the colder months

While there’s no magic fix, there are lots of simple, everyday ways to give your body the best support possible:

Prioritise sleep – Quality rest helps your body recharge and respond to daily stresses.

Eat the rainbow – A varied diet rich in fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins helps nourish the immune system.

Stay active – Even when it’s chilly, a brisk walk or short workout can boost circulation and energy.

Manage stress – Relaxation practices such as deep breathing, journaling, or even a warm bath (our new Relax collection helps here!) can calm the mind.

Consider supplements – Many of our customers like to add support with Elagen (standardised Siberian Ginseng extract) through winter, appreciating its traditional use as an adaptogen to help the body handle change and demand.

 

Why Elagen is a winter favourite

Elagen has been part of our family business since 1991, and it remains one of our bestsellers — especially during autumn and winter. Customers tell us they like to take it at this time of year for:

Seasonal support – helping them feel prepared for the months ahead.

Tradition and trust – with decades of loyal customers relying on it each winter.

Consistency – a natural addition to their daily wellness routines.

 

Small steps, big difference

Supporting your body through the colder season doesn’t have to be complicated. Often it’s the little choices each day — nourishing food, movement, supplements, and moments of calm — that make the difference between just getting through winter and feeling steady and resilient.

As a small, family-run business, we’re always here to help the best we can. If you’ve used Elagen during the winter before, we’d love to hear your experiences — your reviews and recommendations really help others discover what works for them.

Stay warm, stay well, and here’s to a strong season ahead.
