In the hustle bustle of life, it's easy to overlook ourselves. We do the bare minimum, and don't stop to think that our body might just need a tad more when it comes to love and care. Here are eight health supplements that are celebrity and LBB crew approved—giving your body the right fix it needs.
Alia Bhatt To LBB Crew Approved: Health Supplements That Actually Work
Celebrity Approved
Health Supplements By Wellwoman
Approved by Alia Bhatt, who takes her health supplements and vitamins very seriously, these supplements by Wellwoman are a wholesome blend of micronutrients, evening primrose oil and starflower oil that aids in supporting the nervous system, female health, energy levels, immunity, and maintaining skin, hair and nail health. It comes in a pack of 30 and is ideal for women who lead hectic lifestyles.
Man Matters Pure Shilajit, Ashwagandha Capsules
Approved by Ranveer Singh, who doesn't shy from revealing everything (literally.) He talked about eating date balls blended with shilajit and ashwagandha. Now while those are home-made, we'd suggest you get the most of these ingredients with these capsules by Man Matters. The capsules contain natural ingredients, including shilajit, gokshura, ashwagandha, safed musli and kesar—a total of 17 natural herbs that aid in boosting energy (now we know where he gets it from) and overall well-being.
Radiant Skin Gummies
Approved by IG Influencer Masoom Minawala, Nyumi's radiant skin gummies are a great way to give your skin the right kick of nutrients with a blend of Indian herbs and Western ingredients. They come in orange flavour and are packed with health-boosting ingredients, including vitamin C & E, hyaluronic acid (a miracle of an ingredient that helps the skin retain water, according to skin experts) and curcumin extract aka haldi, which has great antioxidants, anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties.
LBB Crew & User Approved
Beauty Sleep Gummies By Nyumi
The beauty sleep gummies by Nyumi come in an exotic blackberry flavour that claim to aid with a restful sleep while also restoring skin health while you sleep. It's packed with melatonin and other natural ingredients that aid in skin health. I've been having these for a month now, and safe to say they do what they claim! Restful sleep and healthier-looking skin, all the way.

What's Up Beauty Gummies
Tried and tested by LBB Crew member—Aakanksha, the What's Up Beauty Gummies claim to make your nails and hair stronger and help the skin too. They are packed with aloe vera and grapeseed extract that look after your skin, making it supple and radiant. She said that she saw immediate effects on her hair and nails first—meaning they do work! Both looked more shiny. She's waiting for the goodness of sea buckthorn and collagen to kick in, which they say show signs after three months of usage.

That Time Of The Month Power Gummies
INJA Beauty Collagen
Aakanksha, from our Content Team was sent the INJA Beauty Collagen to try out, and it's been about two months since she started. The tropical mango flavour is to ensure you get the goodness of mango all year round and not only during the summers. 'Oddly enough, I really don't like the taste, texture or anything to do with mangoes. So, we were really challenging the INJA product!' Luckily, she says, the flavour is subtle and hasn't been made extra sweet. Expect it to be light, refreshing and quite tangy. The brand honestly says that the product will not work immediately. They clearly say 30 days for the skin, hair and nails to start looking healthier. 'I can genuinely say that my nails are looking better. Most times, when I take supplements, the nails are the first to look healthier. This time too. And they are certainly less brittle.' With vitamin C, biotin, hyaluronic acid, glutathione, curcumin, evening primrose oil, selenium and vitamin D3, it's perfect for those above the age of about 30 years. "After consuming this for a fair bit of time, it's safe to say that it has made a difference to my skin but not remarkably so. All in all, it's a product you can try out if you're looking to add collagen to your life."

Fast & Up Liver Detox
After a hectic holiday season, I believe my liver needs a thorough detox. Fast & Up is a brand that came on everyone's radar during the pandemic with their orange-flavoured immunity boosting tablets. Staying close to their promise of a healthier body is their liver detox effervescent tablets that claim to help get rid of toxics that develop in the liver, while also improving the overall health of the organ. Being someone who has struggled with liver issues in the past, I'm excited to see how a supplement packed with 600 mg of milk thistle extract and 600 mg of N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) will work in eliminating toxins and maintaining its health. All you have to do is pop a pill in 250 ml of water and consume it any time during the day. Watch this space for an update!
Biotrex Nutraceuticals Beta Carotene Capsules
While on the lookout to up her immunity game, and with beta carotene being spotted on pretty much every health website now days, Muskan from the LBB crew, decided to give the Biotrex Nutraceuticals Beta Carotene Capsules a shot. We love that they are vegetarian and vegan friendly. The capsules claim to promote bone health, eyes and vision, immunity and healthy skin. 'It's been hardly 14-odd days of me having these religiously, I like that they're unflavoured and vegan friendly, I did my research and found out that carotene itself is the most prevalent carotenoid in the plant food chain, also known as pro-vitamin A, that aids body in fighting many diseases and disorders perfect for flu season! They are no physical changes yet (understandably so, it's too early to notice) but I do feel good about making the effort towards my health and immunity.'
