Explore our full lineup of Vitamin D3 products from Vegan Life Nutrition. 

What Vitamins Are Best for Vegans?

The best vegan vitamins are the ones made with natural, sustainable, and clean ingredients proven to support things like calcium absorption, immune system health, white blood cell health, bone strength, and energy.

Vitamin D3 made with natural, sustainable, and clean raw ingredients

Vegans rely on Vitamin D3 for things like immune support, healthy calcium absorption, and maintaining bone strength. Plant-based vitamin D3 is preferred for bioavailability over Vitamin D2. 

One of the top products in the D3 line is our Synergistically Vegan supplement. We call it our “superhero supplement” because it contains a mix of vitamin D3, vitamin K2, and calcium – all 100% vegan. Vitamin K2 redirects Calcium to the bones for a D3-facilitated absorption process, maximizing the efficiency of the calcium to the bones.

Each of our Vitamin D3 supplements is made with Vitashine, which is sourced from Lichen. 

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 can help support energy levels throughout your day, as well as healthy regulation of your nervous system and digestive system. 

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin, meaning it can easily dissolve into the bloodstream and benefit your body without losing nutrients to the digestive system.

Vitamin C

One of the most important things about vitamin C is that it helps the body absorb Iron. This is particularly important for vegans because plant-based foods don’t always have the highest percentage of bioavailability. 

Vegan Life Nutrition’s Pure Vitamin C works to:

• Regenerate antioxidants in the body
• Support a strong immune system
• Encourage white blood cell health

While there are some of the vitamins that we recommend vegans supplement, it’s important to check in with your doctor to ensure you’re maintaining healthy nutrition with your diet and supplementation. 

Do Vegans Need a Multivitamin? 

When it comes to a vegan lifestyle, it’s best to cover your bases. A good quality multivitamin can help bridge nutritional gaps in your diet without cluttering your cabinet. While Vegan Life Nutrition doesn’t have a designated Vegan Multivitamin, we do have our Prenatal & Postnatal Focus Bundles.

Prenatal Vitamins for All Moms

When searching for the best prenatal vitamins, what do you look for? The search can be overwhelming when you consider what vitamins and minerals need to be present, how these nutrients are sourced, and if you have any dietary restrictions. 

Vegan Life Nutrition has developed a Prenatal Focus Bundle built for moms of all lifestyles. While Vegan Life Nutrition addressed some nutritional gaps found in vegan diets, this product was created so that all women who are trying to conceive or are pregnant have a well-rounded prenatal vitamin that not only meets their own essential nutrient needs but also provides nutritional support for their baby. 

President and CEO of Vegan Life Nutrition’s parent company, The GHT Companies, Jim Rex, says, “We developed this product based on the guidance of fertility specialists to deliver a comprehensive prenatal and postnatal program.” 

Essential Vitamins Before and During Pregnancy

To take the guesswork out of your search for the best prenatal supplements, The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology(ACOG) has a list of which vitamins and minerals are necessary and recommended for prenatal supplements. The Prenatal Focus Bundle has over 20 vitamins and minerals, and here are some of the highlights: 

Folate

Folate is the natural form of folic acid and can be found in leafy green foods. You should consume 400 micrograms of folate every day before you are pregnant until 12 weeks into the pregnancy. 

Choline

Choline has numerous benefits for the baby, including its integral role in cell structure, DNA synthesis, and supporting a healthy nervous system. 

Calcium

Like most nutrients that you consume while pregnant, Calcium will go to your baby first, whether you supplement it or not. If you’re not replacing what you’re giving away, you could end up with symptoms of calcium deficiency. Calcium supports both your and your baby’s heart, muscles, nerves, bones/bone development, and hormones.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D works to regulate the amount of Calcium and phosphate in the body, which are needed to keep bones, teeth, and muscles healthy. It’s recommended that you consume at least 10 micrograms of vitamin D each day, especially if you are pregnant during winter months or aren’t able to spend time in the sun regularly. 

Learn more about the benefits of choline in your prenatal vitamins.

More Nutrients Than Other Prenatal Vitamins on the Market

You will be hard-pressed to find a more comprehensive prenatal supplement on the market. In the product development phase, Vegan Life Nutrition used the Recommended Daily Input (RDI) for each ingredient, ensuring that each dose provides the most nutrients possible to help you meet your nutritional needs every day.

Each Prenatal Bundle comes with a bottle of Prenatal Basic which includes the 20+ essential prenatal vitamins and minerals that you need every day before and during pregnancy, and a bottle of Prenatal Focus which provides an extra 550mgs of Choline per serving for optimal fetal care.

Here is a comprehensive list of all of the vitamins and minerals you will find in the Prenatal Focus Bundle: 

• Vitamin A/Beta Carotene
• Vitamin C/Ascorbic Acid
• Vitamin D/Cholecalciferol
• Vitamin E/d-Alpha Tocopherol
• Vitamin K/Menaquinone K2-MK7
• Thiamin/Thiamin Mononitrate
• Riboflavin/Riboflavin Sodium Phosphate
• Niacin/Niacinamide
• Vitamin B6/Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate

The Importance of Vitamin C

Why do we need Vitamin C each day? Think of your Vitamin C supplement as your immune system’s support staff. The vitamin is an antioxidant that works to fortify your immune system (which is important considering all the free radicals our systems are exposed to on a daily basis) and helps your body absorb and store iron. 

It also is an essential nutrient your body needs in order to form blood vessels, cartilage, muscle, and collagen in bones. This is why women who are pregnant and breastfeeding need to be particularly intentional about consuming the appropriate amount of Vitamin C. 

We don’t naturally produce Vitamin C in our bodies, so incorporating it into our diet and supplement routine is critical. You can find Vitamin C in foods like citrus fruits, berries, potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and spinach, but we recommend that you err on the side of caution and take our daily Vitamin C supplement to ensure you intake the RDA.

Supplements Can Help You Reach Your RDA

It’s difficult to rely on your diet alone to accommodate your nutritional needs for many reasons. 

Nutrient-Depleted Soil

Studies show that there has been a steady decline in food nutrient content over the last 70 years. This is likely due to industrialized agriculture and the resulting soil degradation. While there are still foods with high Vitamin C content, it’s hard to accurately measure if you’re reaching your RDA just from produce alone.

Life is Busy 

We don’t have time to stress about the percentages of certain vitamins and minerals in each meal we eat – especially when we’re on the go, going out to eat, or just living life without a food scale.

Implementing supplements into our daily routine takes seconds, and then we don’t have to worry if we are reaching our nutritional goals for the rest of the day. While it’s always important to maintain a healthy diet that serves our bodies well, adding a supplement is the next step in ensuring your systems have the nutrients they need to thrive.

Vegan Vitamin C Supplement From Vegan Life Nutrition

Pure Vitamin C is one of our most popular products for a very good reason. It provides a super dose of our specially-formulated Vitamin C that works to regenerate antioxidants in the body, promote a strong immune system, and support white blood cell health.

Each capsule contains 500mgs of Vitamin C which is 550% of the RDA. Our Vitamin C is 100% vegan, non-GMO, cruelty-free, gluten-free, and free of artificial colors.

For any retailer looking to maintain a diverse product lineup and improve their product margins, trustworthy vegan supplements are essential. You want your customers to find products they can depend on every time they step through your doors. At

We will be showcasing our product line to retailers at Expo West this year, represented by our Parent Company, The GHT Companies, at Booth #3472. 

Vegan Life Nutrition at Natural Products Expo West 2023

When you visit Natural Products Expo West 2023, you’ll want to be searching for vegan supplements that not only address your customers’ variety of health needs but also improve your product margins. 

When you visit The GHT Companies booth, you will have the opportunity to learn about our products, our people, and partnership opportunities.

Our Products: Vitashine – Vegan Vitamin D3 

Our vegan Vitamin D3 product line is unmatched, harnessing the cleanest and most highly-vetted ingredients on the market. The success of the products is due to our exclusive proprietary Vitamin D3 blend: Vitashine. 

Vitashine is a 100% vegan, all-natural source of Vitamin D3 that comes from lichen, whereas most Vitamin D3 products are made from Lanolin (sheep’s wool grease). 

We know your customers don’t only want vitamins and supplements that cater to their plant-based needs – they also need to be effective!

Vitamin D3 is more bioavailable than Vitamin D2 due to the fact that we naturally produce a small amount of Vitamin D3 on our own, and our bodies are more likely to accept and absorb a nutrient it’s already used to. That’s why we chose Vitamin D3 to be the star of the show, removing unnecessary ingredients and allowing customers to get the best bang for their buck.

The GHT Companies’ contract manufacturing company, Health Specialties Manufacturing, is the exclusive source for Vitashine in North America, and it’s just one of many raw ingredients that came from The GHT Companies’ network of founding scientists from across the globe.

Sample Our Vitamin D3+K2 Spray at Expo West

Vitamin D deficiency is common. It comes from a lack of exposure to sunlight and not getting enough of the essential vitamin from diet – either way, being deficient in vitamin D can lead to some serious health concerns. 

That’s why we developed products like our Vitamin D3+K2 Spray. 

Made with Vitashine, this power-packed, immune-boosting spray promotes immune health and bone strength, perfect for preparing for cold & flu season or even daily use. 

Its lite citrus flavor makes it delicious and easy for the whole family to take. Best of all, due to its liquid form, it’s more bioavailable than capsules and gummies – allowing you to get the most out of the supplement.

Why is Bioavailability Important in Supplements?

A supplement’s bioavailability is the percentage of nutrients and micronutrients that reach the bloodstream in order to be useful to our bodies, rather than passing through the GI system. However, not all supplements are created equally. You need to be intentional about choosing a highly bioavailable supplement to increase the chances that your body will take in the necessary nutrients and help you stay healthy – otherwise, you could be paying for and consuming vitamins that have little to no impact on your system. 

Factors that Inhibit Bioavailability

There are many factors that can keep your supplements from being beneficial to your health. This includes the quality of the food you are eating, the overall health of your Gastro-Intestinal tract, pregnancy status, and genetic makeup. 

Here are some additional factors to be mindful of:

Alcohol 

Alcohol can interfere with the absorption of vitamins A, D, E, K, most of the B vitamins, and the minerals magnesium and zinc. Alcohol increases the demand for nutrients while accelerating their loss from the body. This, in turn, impairs the supplement’s storage and utilization.

Caffeine

Caffeine can decrease the absorption of nutrients and increase the excretion of important vitamins and minerals. It also contains properties that can inhibit the absorption of B vitamins, calcium, iron, and magnesium.

Digestive Issues 

Crohn’s, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), celiac disease, and other digestive problems can significantly hinder the body’s ability to properly absorb and utilize nutrients.

Stress 

Excessive stress can increase cortisol levels in the body which can deplete the body of its nutrients and wreak havoc on the digestive system.

Factors that Enhance Bioavailability

Not all supplements are going to be naturally bioavailable, and that’s ok! There are other things you can look for and put into practice to increase the chances of higher bioavailability.

The Form

Liquid multivitamins have far more bioavailability potential than capsules or gummies due to the fact that liquids enter your bloodstream easier.  

Time of Day

Some supplements may have more benefits when taken at certain times during the day. Research on the specific nutrient can help you determine when to take your supplement(s) of choice.

Taking Your Supplements with Food

Since supplements generally aren’t well tolerated when taken on an empty stomach, most should be taken with a meal.  For example, vitamins A, D, and E, are fat-soluble supplements and should be taken with a meal containing fat to aid in their digestion. 

Supporting Ingredients

Some ingredients can increase the bioavailability of other nutrients. For instance, vitamin C can enhance the bioavailability of iron. Also, Vitamin D3 and K2 help facilitate calcium absorption into the bones for maximum bioavailability.

Proper Storage 

To help ensure the efficiency of your supplements, be sure to store them in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight. Make sure they’re tightly sealed to prevent moisture from getting in. If the structure of the supplement is compromised, it won’t be as effective.

What is Bioavailability?

When we talk about bioavailability, we mean the percentage of a substance that enters the bloodstream upon being ingested. You want the supplements you take to allow for easy and maximum absorption into the bloodstream while minimizing the percentage of nutrients flushed out through the digestive system. 

Many supplement brands will promote a high Daily Value (DV) of their vitamins, knowing fully well that the way they’ve either sourced or combined those nutrients don’t actually provide the best bioavailability. This is why reading the label on your vitamins and understanding the fine print is so important – especially when it comes to vegan, plant-based products. 

What Types of Vitamins Have the Best Bioavailability?

Bioavailable Ingredients

A prime example of the importance of bioavailability is the difference between Vitamin D3 and Vitamin D2.

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that promotes calcium absorption, regulates bone growth, and plays a role in immune function. Vitamin D deficiencies come from a lack of exposure to sunlight and can lead to some serious health concerns. Traditionally, Vitamin D2 comes from plants, and D3 supplements come from animals. However, here at Vegan Life Nutrition, we source our Vitamin D3 products from lichen. 

The other major difference between the two is that we produce Vitamin D3 naturally in our bodies, while we don’t produce Vitamin D2. Our bodies are more likely to accept something it’s already used to, which means that Vitamin D3 is more likely to have a stronger impact on our bodies. 

Supplement Forms with High Bioavailability 

The delivery method of supplements also plays a role in bioavailability. A liquid vitamin, such as one that comes in a spray, is ideal because liquid has a higher bioavailability percentage than traditional capsules or gummies. 

However, for those who don’t want liquid, we also offer our vegan D3 vitamins in gel capsules and gummy forms – perfect for people who don’t prefer liquid vitamins but still want the bioavailability of vitamin D3 over vitamin D2. 

How Do You Know if Your Supplements Are Bioavailable?

When assessing your vitamins, it’s essential to ask yourself the following questions to determine if your supplements are worth taking: 

• What’s the most absorbable form of a supplement?
• What’s the purest form of the nutrients I need with the least amount of filler?
• Do I take the supplement with or without food?
• Do I have to take the supplement apart from other supplements that might interact poorly or take it at certain times of the day?

At Vegan Life Nutrition, we choose to harness our powerful ingredients from natural plant sources. Our science team works with cutting-edge health and supplement technology to bring you plant-based formulations calibrated for maximum efficacy and absorption.

The post Bioavailability in Supplements: Are Your Vitamins Really Worth It? appeared first on Vegan Life Nutrition.

Without proper nutrition, people become more at risk of vitamin and mineral deficiencies that can lead to serious health problems. And even in other cases, a properly nourished person may still need additional vitamins and minerals for their individual health journey. Even if you’re not vegan or plant-based, evidence is showing that opting for vegan supplements can provide even greater benefits than synthetic and animal-product alternatives.

1. Vegan Supplements Are Animal-Friendly

You’ve made a life decision that’s better for your body, the planet, and all living beings in it. Looking at supplements from an ethical standpoint, you can see the benefits to the environment when you choose plant-based alternatives. 

Animals are spared from a vegan lifestyle, and one person’s commitment to living a plant-based lifestyle helps remove those beautiful beings from harsh conditions. Your decision about what you put into your body and your use of vegan supplements have a bigger footprint on the world’s energy.

2. Vegan Supplements Have Higher Rates of Bioavailability

Bioavailability is the percentage of a nutrient that is successfully absorbed and metabolized by our bodies upon consumption. 

Understanding a supplement’s bioavailability is crucial because while they may be packed with vitamins and minerals – if they don’t have a high percentage of bioavailability – those nutrients aren’t serving your body as well as you might think.  

When it comes to the supplements we take, natural, plant-based supplements are more easily absorbed than their synthetic counterparts. This is because your body distinguishes between natural and synthetic nutrients. 

By including bioavailable forms of vitamins and minerals in a dietary supplement, the body reaps more of the rewards – a better bang for your buck. 

Learn how women can benefit from vegan vitamins. 

3. Our Vegan Supplements Are Naturally Sourced From the Earth

If you abide by a vegan lifestyle, you understand the benefits of natural plant-based products. Rather than using chemicals to try and mimic essential vitamins and minerals from the earth, vegan supplements rely on condensing real, natural, plant-sourced materials that our bodies already know how to absorb and process effectively.

All-natural plant-based and vegan supplements are free from preservatives, GMOs, artificial sugars, synthetic chemicals, etc. This makes them better for consumption over long periods of time – which is not the case for supplements with synthetic ingredients and chemicals. 

Vegan Life Nutrition

How do we keep our vegan products just as innovative as they are effective? With processes that are held to the highest standards, we bridge the gap between the most cutting-edge nutritional science and your good personal health.

The post Three Benefits of Vegan Supplements appeared first on Vegan Life Nutrition.

What is Choline and Why is it Important During Pregnancy?

According to Healthline, “Choline is an organic, water-soluble compound. It is neither a vitamin nor a mineral. It impacts liver function, healthy brain development, muscle movement, your nervous system, and metabolism.” 

During the gestational period, choline works to support the development of your baby’s brain and spinal cord and plays a role in brain development – including memory and thinking. 

Choline is found mainly in liver, egg yolks, and red meat. However, there are some vegan sources like legumes, tofu, green vegetables, potatoes, nuts, seeds, grains, and fruit. These don’t contain nearly as high a percentage of choline as animal products do. This is why a vegan choline supplement is so important. 

Benefits of Vegan Prenatal Vitamins with Choline

Choline is an important part of an effective prenatal vitamin due to its numerous benefits for the baby: 

Cell Structure

Choline is necessary for the production of fats that support the structural integrity of cell membranes. 

DNA Synthesis

Vitamins, such as B12 and folate, alongside choline, assist with the process of DNA synthesis.

A Healthy Nervous System

Choline is required to make acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter. It’s involved in memory, muscle movement, regulating heartbeat, and other basic functions.

Learn more about what vitamins and minerals to look for in a vegan prenatal vitamin.

Prenatal Focus Bundle from Vegan Life Nutrition

Why are Daily Vitamins Essential for Women?

Since a woman’s body changes as she ages, it makes sense that her nutritional needs shift throughout the different stages of her life as well. For example, teenagers going through puberty experience different deficiencies than women who are pregnant or going through menopause. 

There are some vitamins and minerals that we believe vegan women in particular should focus on in adulthood. A daily mix of essential supplements is an important pillar of healthy, vegan nutrition alongside a balanced and varied diet. 

What Are the Best Vegan Vitamins for Women?

As we mentioned above, different women need different vitamins at varying times in their life, but both us and WebMD agree that these four essential vegan vitamins for women:  

Vitamin C 

Vitamin C is vital to vegans in particular due to its ability to boost iron absorption. Non-heme iron – or iron found in plant foods – has a lower absorption rate than iron found in animal products. Vitamin C can assist in supporting the immune system and cellular repair. 

Shop here for Vegan Life Nutrition’s Pure Vitamin C, a capsule tablet that holds 500mgs of Vitamin C per serving. A daily serving can assist in boosting immunity, encouraging improved white blood cell health, and regeneration of antioxidants.  

Prenatal and Postnatal Supplements for Vegan Women

For vegan moms and moms-to-be, we believe plant-based prenatal and postnatal vitamins are absolutely essential to incorporate into your daily routine For this reason, we have built the Prenatal Focus Bundle and the Postnatal Focus Bundle with the intent to provide all of the essential nutrients that mom and baby need before, during, and after pregnancy. 

These bundles have 20+ vitamins and minerals per serving and include the following benefits for mom and baby. 

• Provide essential vitamins for mother and baby *
• Maintain healthy digestion *
• Promote healthy cell division and development *
• Support the fetal brain, spinal cord, heart, muscle, bone, nerve, and skin development *
• Support placenta growth *
• Promote red blood cell development *
• Replenishes essential nutrients for postpartum mothers and babies during breastfeeding*
• Promotes healthy development for breastfeeding babies*
• Supports recovery following childbirth*

You can learn more about these incredible bundles here.

B12

Vitamin B12 is not produced by plants because it’s manufactured by microorganisms. Vegans should either supplement B12 or heavily focus on B12 fortified foods like plant milk and tofu. B12 is necessary for the development of red blood cells and maintaining a healthy nervous system. 

We recommend our Vitamin B12 Chewable Tablets to ensure you get a daily dose of 500mcgs. In addition to the benefits noted above, you may see an increase in your energy levels and support for your digestive system. 

Vitamin D3

Those with limited sun exposure should pay special attention to Vitamin D3. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to several health issues because your body will source the necessary Vitamin D from your bones and muscles. 

Supplementing Vitamin D3 is an easy way to make sure you are getting enough of this essential nutrient instead of relying on diet or sunlight alone (especially during winter months). Vegan Life Nutrition’s Vitamin D3 Supplements are sourced from Lichen and are easily absorbed into the body since plant-based D3 is preferred for bioavailability over other forms of Vitamin D – D2 for example.
