Supplements I take
Naturally food is my first port of call for all my nutritional needs but especially when I am a bit run down, too busy to be cooking fresh foods every day or travelling, supplementation is a huge security.
VEGAN DHA
VeganDHA is a highly concentrated (75%) omega-3 food supplement (250 mg DHA + 750 mcg Astaxanthin) which contribute to the maintenance of a normal vision and a normal brain function with a daily intake of at least 250 mg DHA. While algae sourced Omega 3 supplements typically contain good levels of DHA and minimal levels of EPA, studies have suggested a diet high in algae sourced DHA can also lead to increased EPA levels in the body, due to retro conversion of DHA to EPA.
SEA CALCIUM
Calcium is a mineral necessary for bone and teeth. It also plays a role in muscle function, nerve signalling and heart health. Many people seem unaware of the many vegan sources of calcium. Sea Calcium is formulated with calcium found in sea plants, lithothamnion calcareum, which is harvested from the pristine seas off the west coast of Ireland. This particular form of calcium is easily absorbed by the body and contains a number of other beneficial trace minerals and magnesium, which also aids bone health. I take tablets per day.
B12 BOOST
Liquid B12 has a superior absorption and four sprays deliver an impressive 1,200ΞΌg of vitamin B12 and tastes delicious. Vitamin B12 supports psychological functions and energy release and one of the tricker nutrients to get into a Vegan diet so supplementing is important. B12 has been shown to help form healthy red blood cells, contribute to a healthy heart, aid concentration and memory and combat tiredness and fatigue.
IRON
I chose Iron Oral Spray as being a liquid it quickly absorbs and also unlike other liquids it doesnβt need to be dissolved in juice or liquid to take so itβs very convenient to have in your bag or on your desk. Iron contributes to the the normal function of the immune system, cognitive function and helps with the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
