This is Why You Need To Shop The Healthspan Sale in Town This Year

In partnership with Healthspan

January. Doesn't it just have a way of arriving with a sense of expectation and a long to-do list? New Year, New Me. New routines, fresh intentions and an overwhelming pressure to feel energised and motivated. But real life, especially in the middle of a Guernsey winter, often calls for something gentler. That’s why we’re leaning into small, supportive choices that help us feel well, without overhauling everything at once.

Winter already naturally asks more of us. Fewer daylight hours, wilder weather and busy work and family schedules can all take their toll, which is why we all feel like we need to do something about our health. We want energy. We want to feel good about ourselves. And sometimes, we can slip into a punish rather than nourish mindset. Which ultimately doesn't end well and mentally makes us feel worse.

 So, if you're anything like us right now, you are looking to take small, practical steps, rather than feeling the pressure to do everything at once. 

That's why the in-store sale at the Healthspan shop in town feels particularly well-timed. (Finally, a sale that won't have us feeling the need to declutter in a couple of months' time!) Honestly, it’s a great time to stock up on your favourites, explore new products and prioritise your wellbeing in a way that not only feels accessible but also comes with the added bonus of supporting a local retailer and saving money!

 

 

Supplements are not a quick fix or a replacement for good nutrition and health, but in addition to a good lifestyle choices, they can help. Many people choose supplements as a simple way to support their overall health through the colder months - or at more stressful, busier times of life. The fact is that we do need to supplement more in Winter, as well as through various life stages and body changes from pregnancy to aging*. For example, Vitamin D is commonly highlighted in public health messaging during autumn and winter when daylight hours are lower.

If you’re already using supplements, then the sale is the perfect time to stock up on your fave bits for less. And if you’re new to supplementation, or looking to try something different, the sale is a good time to get started. And if you're feeling a little overwhelmed by choice, or don't know where to start, going into the shop in town rather than attempting to buy online, is a great way to educate yourself with a little expert guidance. In the Town store (opposite Town Church if you've never been), the staff are trained to help you with any questions that you might have. Multivitamins or Omega-3? Collagen or Creatine? Allow the experts in-store to explain the products to you, so that you can determine which will benefit you the most and save time and money by avoiding impulse-buying into random wellness trends that won't serve you individually. We’ve all been there.

Plus, we've got a special offer from the local Healthspan team:

7 Things We're Buying In The Healthspan In-Store January Sale

 

If you need a little more inspiration, this is what we'll be picking up in town this weekend.  

1. Vitamin D3

Vitamin D is one of the most talked-about winter supplements, and for good reason. It isn't the first time we have talked about it either. During the colder months when sunlight exposure is lower, including locally in Guernsey, which is why medical experts and nutritionists often recommend we take it. We spotted 15% off this Vitamin D3 and K2 supplement, this Elite D3 option and as well as 10% off this Over 50s formula.

 

2. Multivitamins

If you want one easy, all-round option, a multivitamin is a great place to start. It’s a simple wellbeing foundation for anyone who wants a little extra support during busy seasons to ensure you boday can get what it needs. Healthspan have a few 'Multivitality' options, dependent on individual needs, such as 50 plus and 70 plus, but have a look to see which is right for you.

 

3. A Probiotic

The gut is the second brain. And often when it's out of whack, lots of other niggles can pop up. This is why many people choose probiotics as a way to support digestion and overall balance, especially when routines have been disrupted over the festive season. There is up to 15% off a variety of Probiotic products in the sale. Again, ask in-store for the best choice for your needs. 

 

4. Omega 3

An added supplement for brain health is a big plus for us - especially with the foggy mornings that come early in the year. Omega 3 is said to support much more than just your brain and it can be hard to get it all from diet - especially if like us, with the best will in the world, oily fish doesn’t always feature in your weekly meals. We spotted Opti-Omega 3 with 15% off.

5. Magnesium Glycinate

There's a lot of talk about magnesium - and there are many different kinds, but if you're looking to reduce fatigue, support sleep and that funny sleepy foot feeling we get from time to time, then it's magnesiumn glycinate that is a staple many people add into their evening routine. We have covered the different types of magnesium previously, so we know which works for us, but again check what is needed for you. We did spot Healthspan's Magnesium Glycinate with 20% off which we'll be stocking up on.

 

6. Creatine

A big trending piece right now and seemingly with good reason, Creatine is the supplement du jour for EVERYONE. With research coming out right, left and centre about how it helps women as they age, athletes and supports every day health for everyone, it is no longer the body building communities best kept secret. Healthspan have a whopping 20% off this version, which has us looking for give it a try. We'll report back. Let us know if you do too!

 

7. Collagen

We like to try different ways of supplementing with collagen, especially as our routines and seasons change. Stef recently fell off the collagen wagon after giving up coffee, meaning she natyurally stopped the habit stack of adding it there, so has been investigating pill forms to supplement for joinht & beauty benefits. There are quite a few options in the sale from Super Strength Marine Collagen to the platinum version, each with 15% and 20% off respectively.

Oh and we spotted pet supplements too to give your pets a boost this winter!

Hopefully, we'll see you in Church Square over the next couple of weeks, so say hi.
