The Best Specialty Dietary Supplements for Every Need

A supplement for every need: sleep, children, hair, joints, workouts, and men’s health.

Find the ideal specialty nutritional supplements for your actual needs — from a more restful sleep to workouts and male fertility.

For better sleep

ZzzQuil Sleep provides melatonin in a gummy form that you chew shortly before going to bed, with no capsule to swallow. It’s a good fit for nights after travelling, working a shift or having a particularly stressful day, when you have trouble falling asleep or wake up in the middle of the night.

For Better Sleep

  • Chewable gummies: no capsule to swallow
  • 60 gummies per pack
  • Also available in a pack of 30

A review that stood out to us:

They have helped me a lot during periods of insomnia. They make you feel pleasantly sleepy, and your sleep is deeper and better quality. You wake up feeling refreshed, without drowsiness.

For children's immune systems

Sambucol Kids is a syrup with vitamin C, in liquid form that is easy to give to children who cannot yet swallow tablets. Parents usually start giving it when their child begins daycare or school, during the season when viral infections are most common.

The 120 ml comes in a bottle you can take with you to grandma's or on vacation.

For Children’s Immune Support

Galenica Sambucol Kids + Vitamin C 120ml
  • Syrup for children: no pills or capsules
  • With vitamin C
  • 120 ml bottle
  • For the school and daycare months

A review we picked out:

I buy it throughout the winter to support my 4-year-old daughter’s immune system. We get through the viruses going around at daycare much more easily than when we don’t take it. It tastes good, and my daughter drinks it happily.

For hair loss

Priorin Extra is a supplement for hair loss and thinning, in capsules that you take daily. If you’re seeing more hair in your brush after pregnancy, menopause, or a period of intense stress, it’s one of the first options users try.

Allow at least two to three months of continuous use before judging the results: that’s how long most reviewers say it takes.

For Hair Loss

Priorin Extra 60 Capsules
  • For hair loss and thinning
  • Capsules for daily use
  • 60 capsules per pack
  • Can be combined with shampoo for the same concern

A review we selected:

Before I finished the pack of 60 tablets, my hair had already stopped falling out... it looked healthier and fuller... I continued with another pack of 30 capsules, combining it with the shampoo... if I ever have the same problem again, I would buy it again...

For joints

Solgar Meta-Flex combines glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM and hyaluronic acid in one tablet—four ingredients commonly found in separate joint supplements. That means one bottle instead of two or three.

The formula is shellfish-free, which is worth noting if you avoid shellfish in your diet. It’s suitable for people who exercise regularly and older adults experiencing discomfort in their knees, shoulders or lower back.

For the Joints

Solgar Meta-Flex Glucosamine Hyaluronic Acid Chondroitin MSM Shellfish Free 60 Tablets
  • Glucosamine and chondroitin in one tablet
  • With MSM and hyaluronic acid
  • Shellfish-free
  • 60 tablets per pack

Review we picked out:

Excellent product! I’ve been taking it intermittently for years for mild cartilage damage, on the advice of my orthopedist. You start to notice a difference after about two months, as with all vitamins, of course. After three months, I’m feeling great!

For energy before your workout

Dorian Yates Blood & Guts is a pre-workout powder that you mix with water and drink before heading to the gym, for weight training, CrossFit or martial arts. Many users start with half a serving to see how it suits them.

The 380 g watermelon-flavoured pack is also available in strawberry, cola, mango, bubble gum and blueberry flavours.

For Energy Before Your Workout

Dorian Yates Blood & Guts 380gr Watermelon
  • Pre-workout powder for a drink
  • 380 g package
  • Watermelon flavour
  • Available in 6 flavours

A review we found helpful:

I’ve tried 3–4 nitric oxide supplements, and I think this one is by far the best. With 1 scoop instead of 2 (I think 2 is excessive unless you’re a professional), your whole body starts tingling within 5 minutes due to the beta-alanine (it stops after a little while). You also perform better during your workout.

For men's sexual health

Elogis Forte Blue is a supplement for men's sex life, available in capsules. Users who review it report that it takes about one hour to work.

The pack of 10 offers better value per capsule than the smaller packs of 4 and 1, which are also available. If you take medication for blood pressure or heart conditions, ask your doctor first.

For men's sexual health

Elogis Pharma Forte Blue 10 Capsules
  • Supplement for men's sexual health
  • In capsules
  • 10 capsules per pack
  • Also available in packs of 4 and 1

Elogis Pharma Forte is a dietary supplement that contains zinc, which contributes to normal fertility and reproduction and helps maintain normal testosterone levels in the blood. It also contains the herbal extracts of Tribulus terrestris, Lepidium meyenii (maca), and ginseng, which promote sexual desire and performance.

For male fertility

ProFertil is a supplement for men trying to conceive, available in tablets for daily use. Changes can be seen in a semen analysis and take time: users who review it have a follow-up test after 3 to 4 months.

In addition to the 60-tablet pack, it is also available in 180 plant-based capsules for a longer period of use.

For Male Fertility

ProFertil ProFertil 60 Tablets
from 98,84 €
  • Supplement for male fertility
  • Tablets for daily use
  • 60 tablets per pack
  • Also available in 180 vegetarian capsules

Review we selected:

After 2 boxes, you can see a noticeable difference in density, as well as in motility and count according to the sperm analysis.

Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. If you’re taking medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a health condition, ask your doctor or pharmacist before starting a new supplement, and follow the dosage instructions on the packaging.
