Advice on Choosing Plant-Based Nutrition Products to Suit Your Lifestyle
Whether you choose to eat a diet rich in plants for your health or as part of a vegan lifestyle, we know that the supplements you take should be compatible with your preferences and allow you to optimize your wellbeing without compromising on your values.
This brief buying guide answers some common questions about vegan and plant-derived supplement products, giving you all the essential information you need before you buy.
Are Vegan and Plant-Based Supplements the Most Effective Option?
There are countless misconceptions about plant-based nutrition, and debates around the efficacy of plant-based and lab-manufactured vegan products are complex. In reality, the origin of a gluten-free vegan supplement is only as influential as how the active ingredient is extracted and formulated!
Nutrition supplements can be synthetic, plant-based, or a combination of both. The priority is to deliver optimal bioavailability, which makes the valuable ingredients easier for our bodies to absorb. The trick is in the extraction process and environmentally friendly production techniques.
Understanding the Importance of Bioavailability and Ingredient Concentrations
Not all plant-based and synthetic supplements are equal. There is a balance between respecting the environment, sourcing natural ingredients, and designing vegan supplements that deliver the results you want to see and feel.
Our Joint Support supplement is a great example, containing calcium fructoborate, which has incredible applications for joint, mobility, and bone support - a profoundly important mineral complex, but also one that is present in plants in only tiny amounts.
Isolating that mineral solely from nature would be harmful to the environment. Instead, we’ve designed a nature-inspired supplement that incorporates fast-acting ingredients that work within just seven days, with further cumulative benefits over time. This nutrition supplement offers excellent bioavailability and bioactivity.
All of this simply means you can add a vegan supplement to your nutrition that offers compelling advantages and health benefits from a single source, with clinically validated efficacy based on over two decades of research–while aligning with eco-conscious values.
Which Supplements Are Designed to Support a Vegan Diet?
All of our vegan supplements are suitable for people who follow a vegan diet, using powerful nutritional compounds found in some of nature's diverse fruits, nuts, vegetables, and grains. You can read a complete list of the ingredients in all of our plant-based products on each page, with specific doses and concentration levels.
From cholesterol-fighting oat beta-glucans to advanced antioxidants extracted from cherries, organic beet root powder, and beet-extracted betalains, we are proud to stock a comprehensive array of fully plant-based nutrition supplements.
How Can I Check if a Plant-Based Supplement Product is Organic-Certified?
The main thing to look for is an official USDA third-party certification label. This verifies that a nutrition product sold as organic has achieved the standards set by the US Department of Agriculture.
However, organic certification isn’t the only indicator of quality! Our sports nutrition and wellbeing products are produced within GMP-certified facilities, which indicates that the premises meet all the requisite FDA standards.
We believe that the ideal vegan supplements are produced with the utmost care and incorporate the finest natural compounds, free of genetically modified plants and chemicals–which is why our nutritional ranges are also GMO-free.
What Are the Nutritional Benefits of Plant Extracts?
Many vegan ingredients sourced from plants, vegetables, herbs, and roots were the original basis of modern medicine and are packed with vital vitamin and mineral compounds our bodies need to thrive. Choosing a vegan supplement from our broad range of items ensures you can augment your dietary intake of those key nutrients whether you'd like to feel more mobile, improve your circulation, heighten your endurance, or take better control of your cholesterol levels!
As with shopping in any market, our advice is to look for the best quality nutrition products and ingredients possible, ensuring you save yourself from the disappointment of a supplement that doesn't quite live up to its promises.
