VEGAN ESSENTIALS: WHY IS IT BENEFICIAL?

Adopting a vegan lifestyle is often more than a dietary choice. Plant-based diets are increasing in popularity, with over 5% of Australians now vegan or vegetarian.1 Rich in fibre, antioxidants, phytonutrients, and lower in saturated fat, they provide numerous health benefits and lower chronic disease risk. Although the vegan diet offers many positive effects, it can be lacking in certain nutrients. Whole Earth & Sea® Vegan Essentials provides nutrients often lacking in plant-based diets, supporting your vitality, cognitive function, immunity and overall wellbeing.

BENEFITS OF WHOLE EARTH & SEA® VEGAN ESSENTIALS
FILL NUTRITIONAL GAPS

Plant-based diets are associated with low intakes of omega-3 fats, vitamin D, iodine and vitamin B12. In vegans, vitamin B12 intake is typically less than a quarter of the recommended dietary amount, as sources are predominately animal-based. Vegan Essentials is a sustainable, high-quality supplement, specifically formulated to bridge these common nutritional gaps to help you thrive on a vegan or vegetarian diet.

POWER UP YOUR ENERGY
Feeling fatigued, sluggish and wondering how you’ll get through the day? You may be low in energy-dependent nutrients vitamin B12 and iodine. Vitamin B12 supports healthy red blood cell and energy production, while iodine is essential for healthy thyroid function and energy metabolism.4,5 Vegan Essentials delivers an active, bioavailable form of vitamin B12 and the recommended daily intake of iodine to help sustain your energy on those demanding, busy days.

BOOST IMMUNITY

Vitamin D deficiency is common, particularly when sun exposure and dietary intake is low. Since the main sources of vitamin D such as dairy, oily fish and eggs are avoided on a vegan diet, supplementation can help maintain healthy levels. Beyond supporting strong bones, vitamin D helps support healthy immune system function for defence against potential pathogens. Adequate vitamin B12 also keeps your defences up by maintaining white blood cell levels. Vegan Essentials provides vitamin D3 and B12 to maintain general health and wellbeing and healthy immune system function.

BANISH BRAIN FOG
If brain fog is slowing you down, low levels of key cognitive nutrients could be the cause. Vitamin B12 is essential for nervous system function and health and cognitive function.4 Iodine and omega-3 fatty acids support cognitive function and healthy brain function.5,8 Vegan Essentials combines these nutrients to help maintain your brain energy and mental function throughout the day.

PLANT-BASED OMEGA-3s
Marine microalgae are the main source of omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which accumulate in seafood. Algal oil offers a plant-based alternative to seafood, that raises blood levels of EPA and DHA as effectively as fish oil. Other plant omega-3 sources such as linseed, walnuts or chia, require conversion in the body and produce only limited amounts. EPA and DHA are essential for keeping your eyes, skin, brain and heart healthy, as vital components of cell membranes. Vegan Essentials contains non-GMO, sustainable algal oil-naturally low in contaminants, fish-free, with no unpleasant aftertaste typical of fish-based products.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
Plant-based lifestyles have a significantly smaller environmental footprint. Research shows that vegan diets deliver the greatest reductions in deforestation, pollution and water use, while cutting greenhouse gas emissions by up to 75% compared to high-meat diets. For essential nutrients like omega-3, vegan, algae-based supplements offer a more sustainable choice than fish oil, which can contribute to overfishing of wild-caught fish and pollutants associated with fish farming. Vegan Essentials contains sustainable, algae-derived omega-3 and organic vitamin D3, providing a supplement that supports overall wellness, for you and the planet
