Festival Survival Guide

Heading to a festival like Untold? Check out the best supplements and tips to stay energized and healthy. Always remember that health goes first so let`s see what products are a must for the festival season.

With the right supplements and health hacks, every beat, bass drop, and sunrise set can be enjoyed because of the fact that you can increase your energy, immunity, and your mood.

Magnesium & Electrolytes

Dancing for hours = sore muscles and potential leg cramps. Magnesium is for muscle recovery and is for sleep quality and this is important if you’re camping or sharing space with loud neighbors.

If you sweat nonstop, water is not enough. A quality electrolyte supplement has in it sodium, potassium, and also magnesium. The supplement replenishes them. Your energy levels stay up alongside preventing headaches and fatigue.
Look toward sugar-free powders or tablets. These are dissolvable within your water bottle now. Suggested products: Magnesium Chelate from GymBeam or Magnesium from Walmark, Electrolytes from FutuNatura or Litorsal

Immunity boosters like Vitamin C + Zinc and B12

Festivals mean close contact, germy  hands and less sleep. This combo boosts your body and keeps your immune system strong. Pro tip: Take a dose daily before, during but also after the festival. Vitamin C + Zinc are great combo and offer support for those intense days. In addition add some B vitamins such as B12 for sustainable energy without that crash feeling provided by energy drinks. They also support your nervous system in stressful or intense days.
Tips: B12 can be found as tablets to dissolve in water.

Suggested products: B12 from GymBeam, dissolving B12 tablets from DM, Vitamin complex OptiMen and OptiWoman, Vitamin C from FutuNatura or GymBeam

Charcoal and simeticone

Now, these two elements combined are extermly usefull. Activated charcoal helps to reduce some hangover symptoms and simeticone is an over-the-counter medication used to relieve symptoms of excess gas in the stomach and intestines, such as bloating and abdominal discomfort. Ask for it at the pharmacy. Suggested product: Kebene extra

Pro Tips & Festival Hacks

• Hydrate proactively – Don’t wait to feel thirsty. Sip water and electrolytes throughout the day.

• Eat something green daily – Bring spirulina tablets or green superfood powders if fresh food is scarce.

• Use a sleep mask and earplugs – Your brain needs rest.

• Stay regular – Bring probiotics or digestive enzymes to keep your gut happy after questionable food.

• Set reminders – Festival days blur together. Use your phone to nudge you when it’s time to take your supplements or drink water

Where to Buy Festival-Friendly Supplements

We suggest to purchase everything in advance, most of the supplements can be orderd online. If you are already at the festival check the local supplement stores or pharmacies for these products!

Last but not least

Balance the Party with self-care. That`s the most important advice. Festivals are unforgettable, but the better you take care of your body, the more you’ll enjoy the experience. Think of supplements as your festival armor—keeping your mind clear, your body energized, and your immune system strong. So load your playlist, pack your wellness kit, and dance like you’ve got all the energy in the world. Because with the right prep—you do.
