Five supplements for autumn health

Dr. Jean-Michel Cohen has listed five supplements commonly associated with maintaining health during autumn: vitamin D, magnesium, omega-3, probiotics, and vitamin B12. These are often recommended to support immunity, energy, and digestion during seasonal changes.

Supplements should not replace a balanced diet

According to Cohen, these supplements can be useful depending on individual intake and profile, but they should not be considered a substitute for a balanced, varied, and sufficient diet. Health authorities agree that dietary supplements can complement certain intakes but do not replace a balanced diet, prescribed treatment, or medical advice.

No health guarantee from supplements

Cohen emphasizes that dietary supplements are not a health guarantee for autumn and should not be confused with a general proof of effectiveness for all adults. He recommends a personal routine involving these five supplements but cautions against stacking multiple capsules without considering individual needs.

Prefer separate intakes over multivitamins

Cohen prefers separate intakes of these supplements rather than multivitamin complexes, where dosages may be less controlled. He highlights the risk of accumulating multiple products containing the same vitamins or minerals without realizing it.

Read labels to avoid duplication

To avoid this, he advises reading labels carefully and checking for duplicates. For more information, a guide is available on Doctissimo.
