Frequently Asked Questions
-
These 5 micronutrients are not easy to obtain from a diet alone. Getting a sufficient amount of Vitamin D, K2, Zinc, Magnesium, and Omega-3s for your body can be challenging. Additionally, these 5 ingredients have been extensively studied and showed well-established health benefits.
-
We still favour a 'food-first' approach whenever possible and encourage everyone to eat a healthy, varied diet. Magnesium and Zinc can be found in food sources, but can be more difficult to obtain in sufficient amounts. While we don't cover 100% of the daily requirement for these minerals, our carefully selected amounts are designed to fill common nutrient gaps.
-
We understand that taking multiple capsules can be a hassle, but we had to separate the Essentials into 4 capsules. The Omega-3 needed to be split into two doses to provide an effective amount in a vegan capsule shell. We wanted to ensure proper doses of D3, K2, Zinc, and Magnesium. Separating the Magnesium gives you the flexibility to take it at a different time of the day, such as in the evening for a more relaxing effect.
-
The Essentials were specifically formulated to supplement micronutrients that are commonly lacking in modern diets, even in those considered healthy and varied. While a healthy diet is important, it can be difficult to consistently consume enough of these essential micronutrients. The Essentials provide a convenient way to ensure you are meeting your daily needs.
-
Yes, the Essentials are 100% vegan, featuring plant-based sources of Vitamin D3 and K2. The Omega 3 is sourced from algae oil, encapsulated in bioavailability-enhancing vegan Licaps® with an ideal 2:1 ratio of DHA and EPA (polyunsaturated fatty acids).
