THE all-in-one SOLUTION
5 powerful micronutrients - numerous health benefits
MEET THE KEY INGREDIENTS
A solid foundation: 5 vegan micronutrients
Vitashine™ Vitamin D3
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin found in few foods, but can be synthesised from cholesterol and sunlight. Around 40% of Europeans are deficient based on recent large observational data.
Vitamin K2 MK-7
Vitamin K2 MK-7 is a highly bioavailable form of Vitamin K2 that plays a key role in directing calcium to the bones & teeth, and away from arteries & soft tissues. It supports bone and cardiovascular health.
Zinc Picolinate
Zinc Picolinate is a highly absorbable form of Zinc that supports immune function, wound healing, and various other biological processes. It's an essential mineral for overall health and well-being.
Magnesium Bisglycinate
Magnesium Bisglycinate is highly bioavailable and supports over 300 metabolic reactions. Magnesium deficiency is common for up to 25% of EU adults. It is essential for normal muscle, nerve function and overall health.
Algae life’s®OMEGA
life's®OMEGA provides a vegan and sustainable algae-derived source of Omega-3 with an ideal 2:1 ratio of EPA and DHA, essential for heart, brain, and eye health. Studies also suggest anti-inflammatory properties.
Synergetic power for optimal health
All the ingredients of the Essentials work perfectly together to support overall health. Vitamin D requires cofactors such as Vitamin K2, Zinc, Magnesium and Omega-3 for proper function. Vitamin K2 helps to direct calcium to bones and teeth, while Zinc supports immune function and Vitamin D receptor activation. Magnesium and Omega-3 are essential to convert D3 into its active form.
Power up your Omega-3s naturally
Our innovative and vegan Omega-3 is sourced from algae, instead of the common fish oil. Licaps® capsules maximise delivery of EPA and DHA fatty acids, providing anti-inflammatory benefits for optimal muscle and brain function, whilst conserving the marine ecosystem.
Vitamin D: The missing link for optimal health
Vitamin D deficiency is now a widespread disease due to lack of sun exposure or dietary intake. This deficiency is associated with weakened bones, depression, a poorly functioning immune system and an increased risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer, asthma and cognitive disorders.
