Vancouver winters are long —months of grey skies, endless drizzle, and barely any sun. For many, that means Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) sneaks in: low mood, low energy, and zero motivation.
The good news? You don’t have to just wait for spring. With the right supplements, you can fight back, feel better, and stay on top of your game all season long.
Without sun, your body takes a hit—Vitamin D plummets, serotonin drops, and your immune system weakens. Add in low motivation to exercise or eat clean, and SAD steamrolls your health.
Best Supplement Fixes for SAD:
Vitamin D3 – The #1 winter essential in Vancouver. Supports mood, energy, hormones, and immunity.
Omega-3s – Shown to reduce depressive symptoms, support brain health, and fight inflammation.
Magnesium Glycinate – Calms the nervous system, improves sleep, and helps balance stress.
B-Complex – Crucial for energy production and neurotransmitter support.
Adaptogens (Rhodiola, Ashwagandha) – Help your body adapt to stress and keep energy stable.
(Bonus) Light Therapy – Sure, not a supplement, but pairing one with the right stack amplifies results. And make sure to check out our partner https://northernlighttechnologies.com/en-ca/ for some of Canada's best selection of long lasting SAD lights.
SAD might be common in Vancouver, but it doesn’t have to crush your winter. The right supplement stack keeps your energy up, your mood stable, and your immune system strong—so you can power through the rain, not just survive it.
