Korean celebrities are often the faces of health supplements, but not many share the kind of supplements that they take in their daily life. Although there is no need to consume exactly the same kind of health supplements our favourite celebrities do, a look into their daily must-haves can help us in deciding what supplements we should take (if any) too!
Orthomol Immun Multivitamin & Mineral

Orthomol's Immun Multivitamin & Mineral is a favourite amongst Korean celebrities. Celebrities are often herded from one venue to another, and don't always get the recommended amount of rest or nutrition. As a result, their health tends to suffer and they look to health supplements to boost their immune system.
During the pandemic, it's always a good idea to ensure that our immune system runs smoothly so if you believe that your lifestyle adversely impacts your immune system, consider investing in some multivitamins to help it.

Some of us may deal with water retention on a day-to-day basis. This results in bloating not just on our face but on the rest of our bodies as well. Seungkwan is a celebrity known to have faced bloating especially in his earlier years. He has come up with many different methods that help reduce bloating, and this is one product that he was excited to share with everyone.
Positive Hotel's Mediterranean Green Mint contains green tea, green apple, calamansi, lime, peppermint, ginger, and oats. Mix it in a bottle of water and drink it at the start of your day, or before a workout session.

Traditional Medicinals Organic Throat Coat

Used by: Soloist Lee Hi
We've all been there: some mornings we wake up with no voice in our throats. Whether it's from a flu or a dry mouth, our vocal chords feel like sandpaper and our voice comes out raspy (and not in the good way).
For a singer like Lee Hi, having issues with her voice is definitely distressing. As such, she swears by this tea, and says that she uses it before recording a song, when she's overseas, and when she's on tour.
On days where you have an important (video) presentation and can't afford to have a grating voice, drink a cup of this and you'll feel the tea coat your throat to and return your natural voice!

Yuhan Vitamin C 1000mg

Used by Red Velvet's Joy
Vitamin C is useful for a variety of things, from boosting our immune system to protecting us from diseases and even improving the condition of our skin. In fact, that is one of the reasons why Joy started taking vitamin C supplements regularly.
With COVID-19 comes the mandatory wearing of masks and for some people, constantly having a mask on has lead to maskne. Joy herself dealt with maskne and took these vitamin C tablets to improve her overall health and the condition of her skin.

Used by: Seventeen's Seungkwan
As we enter Phase 3 Heightened Alert and are allowed to dine-in again, many of us have made plans with friends that we've not seen in awhile. During meals with friends, it is highly likely that we will overeat — after all, who knows when we'll be able to meet up again?
That's why it'll be good to carry a packet of Esther Formula's Dr. Esther Green Coffee Bean Green Cut with you to your meal gatherings. If you feel too full after eating, pour a packet of this into a bottle of water and drink; it should help to ease the fullness that you're feeling.

An-Gook Health Low Molecular Collagen Bifidus Lactobacillus

Used by: Mamamoo's Solar and Moonbyul
Collagen is a naturally occurring protein found in our skin and joints. As we age, collagen starts to breakdown, causing our skin to sag and our joints to weaken. Taking collagen can improve your skin elasticity and increase your bone density.
Naturally, collagen is found in fish skin and chicken. But for busy idols like Solar and Moonbyul, they may not always have the luxury of time for a proper meal. Hence, they can turn to collagen supplements to ensure that they have enough collagen daily.
An-Gook Health's collagen supplements contain low molecular collagen that is said to be easily absorbed by the body. Furthermore, this product comes with lactobacillus bifidus, a probiotic that improves gut health.

Used by: Soloist Lee Hi
Not to be confused with their Immun Multivitamin & Mineral, Orthomol's Vital F is recommended by Lee Hi for days when you need that extra kick of energy.
Working from home can get very draining, and for those who may have to complete household chores, take care of young children or elderly parents on top of their work, days can get extremely long and tiring. When this happens, consider taking one serving of Orthomol's Vital F to give you that boost.
