Living on a plant-based diet for the past 4 years has improved our lives immensely. We’ve experienced so much more energy, focus, drive and vitality since we swapped out all animal products and most processed foods in exchange for a whole plant based diet. It is hard to overstate the positive impact this diet and this way of life has had on our overall happiness and success. But it is not only this diet that has changed our lives for the better, it is our consciousness towards what we put into our bodies and our focus on giving our bodies the nutrients we really need to thrive.

We were thriving for 3 years on a plant-based diet before we noticed a small decline in our energy and our focus. We had always been conscious of what we were eating and we tried our best to eat a variety of plant based foods. But travelling full time and spending time in countries with very little plant based options made it difficult for us to cover all the nutrients we needed through food alone. This is when we started researching into supplementation and we learnt that with the right products, made by the right companies, we could take a daily supplement that would ensure all our nutrient needs were being met. If you travel a lot like us, or you have a really busy schedule, or you just want to make sure you’re operating at 100%. Supplementing can help you stay healthy and at the top of your game (if you use the right products and supplement with the nutrients you actually need)

Why do we take vitamin B12, D3 and omega 3's EPA and DHA?

It is important to note that apart from vitamin B12 most people including those who eat high animal protein diets, are not getting enough of these nutrients which look after our brains and other vital systems in our bodies. A daily supplement with these 3 nutrients for anybody can enhance so many areas of life including:

Supporting our energy levels

B12 is essential for energy production and for maintaining a healthy nervous system. Up to 92% of vegans are not getting enough B12. A B12 deficiency can lead to serious and irreversible conditions.

Enhancing our ability to focus

Omega-3 has been extensively researched, and several studies have found benefits for both memory and "mental flexibility". Some preliminary research suggests that B12 might also help with cognition.

Improving our mood

Omega-3 acids have been shown to be promising natural treatments for mood disorders. More than 30 clinical trials have been undertaken on those with depression, and they have found that Omega-3 is generally beneficial.

Vital for immunity

B12, Vitamin D and Omega-3 are essential for the proper maintenance of your immune system, helping your body defend against viruses.

Increasing our lifespan

Vitamin D3 (which is the type we use) has been found to reduce mortality rates and therefore increase lifespan. Vitamin D2 on the other hand, which is what most supplement brands use, didn't have the same benefit.

Protecting our brain

Several studies found that the Omega-3 fatty acids EPA & DHA help preserve our brain size as we age. From the age of 20, our brains begin to shrink, so it's important to get enough Omega-3.

Supporting healthy joints

Omega-3 has been found in several studies to help reduce joint pain. This was supported in a 12 month, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

Promoting our eye health

Several studies have found that supplementing with Omega-3 can help alleviate symptoms of dry eye. One study focused on people that use a computer for longer than 3 hours a day, and found that after daily supplementation, they experienced less dry eye.

Supporting healthy bones

Adequate intake of Vitamin D is essential for maintaining healthy bones, as it helps with calcium and phosphorous absorption.
