Vitamins from Food or Vitamins from Food Supplements?

Maybe you'll be a little bit surprised, but vitamins from food are better than vitamins from dietary supplements.

However, when establishing whether or not we should be taking vitamin supplements, we have to consider the following:

  • How varied is our diet?
  • Do we eat a lot of processed food?
  • What is the quality of food that's available to us?
  • Do our meals meet our daily needs for essential nutrients?
  • What kind of lifestyle do we have?

A lot of produce available to us lacks micronutrients and does not help our organism function optimally. Experts recommend that we opt for fresh produce and plan our meals carefully, but that can be quite difficult because of our incresingly hectic lifestyles. Some studies also say that even fresh fruit and vegetables can lack nutrients due to environmental factors.

All our immunity-boosting products combine all the necessary vitamins in a way that enables them to work togethe perfectly!

For example, we combined all-natural extracts of tumeric and black pepper, which enables better bio-availability.
