We can no longer ignore it: nutritional supplements are necessary for good health. In this blog we will take you through the reasons why this is evident and we will give you tips for good basic supplementation. Finally, you will get to know our free and personal supplement advice!
No matter how well you think you are doing, today it turns out to be quite difficult to get enough nutrients, also: vitamins and minerals. Even if you stick to the recommended amounts of fruit and vegetables, it remains a task. We explain why that is on the basis of three developments.
These developments are worrying because they concern health. A vitamin deficiency can creep in slowly, but when it is in it can have nasty consequences. Such a consequence is, for example, that our body receives fewer components that it needs to protect us against chronic diseases.
Now that you know why it’s almost impossible to get enough nutrients from fruits and vegetables, we’ll help you on your way to supplementing these deficiencies in a natural and healthy way. There are roughly two vitamins and a mineral that almost everyone lacks because they are no longer sufficient in our fruit and vegetables. These are: vitamin C, vitamin D, and magnesium. To remedy the imbalance of omega 6 and omega 3, omega 3 has also been added to the basic supplement. Below we explain them.
An important antioxidant that protects your body against harmful radicals from the outside. Radicals are aggressive substances that can damage your cells. Think, for example, of (cigarette) smoke and stress. Antioxidants render these substances harmless and help you stay healthy. If you get enough vitamins, your body can better absorb iron from food and you support the immune system. This antioxidant also contributes to the formation of collagen, which is important for blood vessels and smooth veins. It is also an important vitamin for the bones and the production and construction of cartilage (in the joints).
Many people know that vitamin D is important for maintaining strong bones. But did you know that vitamin D also plays a role in maintaining strong and flexible muscles and also contributes to your resistance? Enough reason to make sure you make or get enough of it! There are two types of vitamin D: vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. Both species occur in nature and can therefore be called natural. Yet vitamin D3 is known as the “natural form” of vitamin D because it is made in the body. Goldea’s Vitamin D3 is of 100% vegetable origin.
The fatty acids EPA and DHA together make a positive contribution to the normal functioning of the heart. In addition, DHA plays a role in the functioning of the brain and contributes to the maintenance of normal vision. Most people know omega 3 from fish oil. But did you know that fish themselves do not produce omega 3? They get omega 3 from the algae they eat. So the fish is actually an intermediary. The Vegan Omega 3 from Goldea Health is made on the basis of these algae and is therefore 100% vegetable!
An essential mineral involved in over 600 enzyme-driven biological reactions that take place in the body. Magnesium contributes, among other things, to the reduction of fatigue and to mental resilience and energy. In addition, magnesium is also important for the muscles. Our Power 5 Magnesium supplement contains 5 biological forms of magnesium. We have combined the five organic forms of magnesium bisglycinate, citrate, malate, gluconate and taurate in one supplement because of their specific applications. Biologically bound forms of magnesium are better absorbed by the body.
We have bundled these four supplements in the Daily Essential Pack for convenience!
Before you purchase supplements, it is important to look at which ones can supplement your deficiencies. This is important so that you do not just start taking something that your body does not have a shortage of, for example.
