The key vitamin for vegans: vitamin B12 - in high doses with us
As a vegan, you will probably know that vitamin B12 is only found in sufficient quantities in foods of animal origin. Strictly speaking, this vitamin is not produced by plants at all.
If you are now thinking that there are algae with a significant B12 content, you are of course right. In fact, the vitamin is not produced by the algae themselves, but by microorganisms that live on the plant or in the soil.
Most vegans supplement with vitamin B12 because it plays a key role in the formation of red blood cells.
for the formation of red blood cells
for the function of the nervous system
in energy metabolism
in cell division
in the breakdown process of homocysteine - a high homocysteine level can be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease
VEGAN ESSENTIALS contains 500 µg of high-dose methylcobalamin per capsule , the bioactive form of B12 - directly available and particularly easy to utilize.
This means that our vitamin B12 is produced in a natural fermentation process. This initially produces B12 in the form of cyanocobalamin. But we go one step further and convert it enzymatically into the significantly more bioavailable methylcobalamin so that your body doesn't have to do this for you first, but can use it directly.
The other B vitamins for your daily needs
We have now explained that vitamin B12 supplementation is particularly important for vegans and vegetarians. But there are other vitamins that can fall by the wayside in a purely plant-based diet - first and foremost the group of other B vitamins ...
In our body's energy metabolism, it is essentially the B vitamins that are involved in the utilization of food. They have to be constantly supplied to the body as they are all water-soluble and can therefore hardly be stored. To ensure that they are not missing at a crucial point in your metabolism, we have combined all the relevant B's in VEGAN ESSENTIALS.
Thiamine (vitamin B1) for your energy metabolism
Thiamine helps you to convert carbohydrates into energy and also supports the heart and nervous system.* If you do a lot of sport or physically strenuous work, your need for vitamin B1 may be increased. This also applies if you consume a lot of cereals.
Riboflavin (vitamin B2) for your blood cells and more
Riboflavin also plays a major role for energy and nerves. But this vitamin is even more versatile. It also contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and supports cell protection, vision, skin and mucous membranes.* Vegans are often undersupplied, as sources rich in vitamin B2 such as dairy products are not available.
Niacin (vitamin B3) for nerves & psyche
Vitamin B3 occurs in nature in two forms: as directly available niacin and as tryptophan, which must first be converted into niacin in the body. To produce 1 mg of niacin, around 60 mg of tryptophan is required, which is already present in lower quantities in plant protein sources.
A pronounced niacin deficiency can lead to irritability, tiredness and skin problems.
Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) - the all-rounder of the metabolism
This vitamin has several of your metabolic functions under control:1. protein metabolism,*2. glycogen metabolism,* in which glucose is converted into glycogen, which helps to maintain normal blood sugar levels, among other things3. homocysteine metabolism,* which in turn is important for cell health
Biotin, your "beauty all-rounder"
Biotin is often rightly referred to as the "beauty vitamin", as it is known for its positive effects on skin, hair and nails.* So when it comes to beauty, we benefit threefold!Plant-based foods do contain biotin, but often in smaller quantities.
Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) - your wake-up vitamin
With pantothenic acid, the fatigue monster inside you can be tackled!The vitamin supports mental performance, helps to reduce fatigue and plays a key role in energy metabolism.
So with B vitamins, you're well supplied. But what else is important?
Your eye vitamin A as vegan retinyl palmitate
It is the crucial vitamin for the eyes and vision: vitamin A.*Fruit and vegetables contain a range of provitamin A carotenoids, which can be converted into vitamin A in the body to varying degrees. Nevertheless , vegetarians and vegans should always keep an eye on maintaining an adequate vitamin A status.
In the form of retinyl palmitate, as contained in our vegan capsules, vitamin A is already bioactive and therefore particularly highly bioavailable.
Good for your blood: iron
As an important component of red blood cells (haemoglobin), iron is essential for transporting oxygen in the blood, but also for cell formation, a functioning immune system and cognitive performance*.
But not all iron is the same ...
As vegans, we have to face the fact that plant-based iron (so-called "non-heme iron") is simply less easily absorbed than bivalent "heme iron" of animal origin.
With the iron bisglycinate in our capsules, you can easily ensure your supply. This is a vegan form of iron with the highest bioavailability. And as it is well known that twice is better, the vitamin B2 contained in the capsules also contributes to normal iron metabolism*.
Your plus in zinc, because phytates can inhibit absorption
Zinc is a trace element that contributes to many important tasks in the body:
to the normal function of the immune system*
to protect the cells from "oxidative stress "*
to a normal metabolism of macronutrients*
to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails*
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 50% of all people are deficient in zinc. A vegetarian and vegan diet can also contribute to a zinc deficiency, as many plant-based foods contain phytic acid, which makes it more difficult to absorb zinc.
VEGAN ESSENTIALS helps you to reliably cover your daily zinc requirement - in the form of organic zinc bisglycinate, the zinc compound with the highest bioavailability.
Your additional trio of minerals: selenium, iodine and calcium
Let's start with selenium, the all-rounder of minerals or, more precisely, trace elements. This is of great importance for cell protection against oxidative stress, for the immune system, for the thyroid gland and also for the growth of hair and fingernails*.
Our vegan capsules contain pure sodium selenite, which can be easily absorbed and, unlike organic selenium, does not accumulate in the body to increase selenium levels.
The second element in the group is iodine for healthy thyroid function,* which can also be absorbed by eating algae as well as fish. But do you know exactly how much of it is in which algae? You certainly don't want to risk a long-term overdose of iodine. Our capsules provide you with a safe, controlled amount.
Our trio is completed by calcium, the building block for healthy growth and a stable physique. And that doesn't just apply to children!
A functioning musculoskeletal system basically requires two things:robust bones and good muscles.
Many women and men have problems with their bones or joints at some point and suffer from osteoporosis or osteoarthritis, for example.1
VEGAN ESSENTIALS helps you to reliably cover your daily requirement of valuable calcium without dairy products.

Acheter des vitamines à haute dose : Quels sont les avantages ?
Alimentation vs. préparation de vitamines
Les vitamines sont importantes, voire vitales, pour les fonctions corporelles les plus diverses et devraient donc être apportées quotidiennement en quantité suffisante par une alimentation équilibrée. Cependant, de nombreuses personnes ont du mal à couvrir l'ensemble de leurs besoins, que ce soit par manque de temps pour cuisiner régulièrement des produits frais et sains ou en raison de la prise permanente de médicaments. Dans ce cas, les préparations vitaminées, généralement disponibles sous forme de gélules, de comprimés ou de poudre, peuvent apporter une compensation. Les vitamines destinées à soutenir le système immunitaire, comme la vitamine C, D3, le zinc ou les multivitamines combinées, sont particulièrement appréciées en automne/hiver.
Pourquoi acheter des vitamines hautement dosées ?
Les compléments alimentaires contenant des vitamines hautement dosées sont particulièrement utiles lorsque, par exemple, les contraintes physiques, psychiques ou environnementales sont particulièrement élevées. En outre, les femmes et les hommes de plus de 50 ans ont des besoins accrus en nutriments, mais l'apport calorique ne doit pas augmenter. La vitamine B12 à haute dose est particulièrement recommandée dans le cadre d'une alimentation purement végétalienne, car cette vitamine est contenue presque exclusivement dans les aliments d'origine animale. Un autre avantage des dosages élevés réside souvent dans le fait que l'on doit prendre le produit en question moins souvent dans la journée.
Qu'est-ce que l'effet "time released" ?
Une libération prolongée dans l'organisme, appelée "effet time-released", comme pour VITAMIN C 1000 mg et VITAMIN C 1000 mg Complex + Acerola, garantit un approvisionnement tout au long de la journée. Grâce à cette formule unique pour une libération à plusieurs heures d'intervalle, tu n'as besoin que de ce seul comprimé par jour.
