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.

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.  

Try a sample of our Vitamin D3+K2 Spray when you visit our booth at Expo West!

Vitamins for Vegans and Non-Vegans Alike 

There are great benefits to integrating plant-based supplements into your regular self-care routine. No matter what your diet looks like, you are likely experiencing some nutritional gaps that can easily be mended with daily vegan supplements. 

Essential Nutrients

Even though fruits and vegetables contain a number of vital nutrients, it can be difficult to obtain essential vitamins like B12 and D3 through diet alone. Vegan supplements can help you to achieve those daily nutritional goals. 

Bioavailability

Our team works with cutting-edge health and supplement technology to bring you plant-based formulations calibrated for maximum efficacy and absorption. 

Learn more about the importance of bioavailability. 

Immune Health

In order to build and maintain a strong immune system, you must have healthy levels of certain vitamins and nutrients in your body. Vegan supplements, such as those sourced from organic Lichen, work to boost the body’s first line of defense and support your health during cold and flu season.

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

The Prenatal Focus Bundle includes a bottle of Prenatal & Postnatal Basic as well as a bottle of Prenatal Focus for the extra 550 mgs of choline per serving. This bundle provides essential vitamins and minerals to women who are pregnant or trying to conceive.

Within each bottle, you’ll find the nutrients to support: 

• Healthy digestion *
• Promote healthy cell division and development *
• Support the fetal brain, spinal cord, heart, muscle, bone, nerve, and skin development *
• Support placenta growth *

Here at Vegan Life Nutrition, we know that living a vegan lifestyle is important to you and you don’t want to compromise that when you’re pregnant. We have gathered some tips for you to consider as you go through pregnancy as a vegan mom.

Find a Doctor with Vegan Experience

Whether you are choosing to go with a doctor, midwife, doula, etc, to assist you through your pregnancy, we highly recommend you connect with someone who has helped vegan moms before. They will be prepared to answer your questions and keep you informed on how you can maintain a healthy and nutritious vegan lifestyle throughout your pregnancy. They will also be able to determine how you need to adjust your vitamin and nutrient intake while pregnant. 

Listen to Your Body

The cool thing about being a human is that we have instincts. We can tell when we are hungry, thirsty, and need a nap. Our body will also often give us signals when we are lacking vital nutrients that keep us functional. When you are pregnant, it’s very important to listen to what your body is telling you in order to protect yourself and your baby. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s likely that you need extra support. 

Here are some indicators that you may be low on nutrients during pregnancy: 

• Dizziness
• Headache
• Abnormal sensitivity to cold
• Fatigue

These could be indications of deficiencies in Iron, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, and several others. If any of these present consistently during your pregnancy, consult your doctor. 

Monitor Your Nutrients

You can avoid major deficiencies with your nutrients by keeping an eye on your nutritional levels and adjusting your diet and supplement intake. During any pregnancy, but specifically a vegan pregnancy, it’s vital to make sure you are getting enough iron, calcium, iron, potassium, iodine, and vitamin B12. You can learn more about how to build your diet from this article from What To Expect.

This summer, Vegan Life Nutrition is excited to help provide the vitamins and supplements necessary for a healthy pregnancy with our upcoming 100% vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free Prenatal and Postnatal vitamins.

What Does “Certified Gluten-Free” Supplements Mean?

Through the process of rigorous internal testing and testing from the GFCO, Vegan Life products are now guaranteed gluten-free. The GFCO has a more thorough gluten testing process for products and facilities than the FDA due to their passion for consumer safety and partnership with the Gluten Intolerance Group of North America (GIG). If a product is certified through the GFCO to be gluten-free, you can depend on the accuracy of the certification. 

We have always had 100% vegan, cruelty free, non-GMO gluten-free supplements, but now, with the seal from the GFCO, you can take our supplements with utmost confidence that our products are nowhere near gluten, even during production.

Why Do We Provide Gluten-Free Supplements?

Vegan Life Nutrition is all about raw, natural ingredients that make a positive impact on your health and life. You can find supplements ranging from your daily vitamins to circulatory support and more, and we believe that a gluten intolerance shouldn’t hold you back from getting the daily nutritional support you need. 

What Is the Benefit Of Taking Gluten-Free Supplements?

It is extremely challenging for people to get the optimal essential vitamins they need on a daily basis from food alone, especially for those with vegan and plant-based diets. Sometimes our systems need a little extra support to keep us happy and healthy. 

That is why Vegan Life Nutrition was founded: to make sure people with dietary restrictions and preferences have access to the support their bodies deserve.

A breast cancer “thriver”

Denise Peise is from North Carolina and works as an artisan and author. Despite having faced breast cancer on three separate occasions, Denise has won each battle. She continues to live a life focused on improving her physical and mental health. She does this by practicing yoga, creating visual and written works and expressing passion for living a plant-based lifestyle. 

Denise defines herself not as a breast cancer survivor but as a thriver. This mentality comes from the idea that those living with the disease should not let it take over and affect their quality of life. Instead, those who define themselves as breast cancer thrivers and warriors are allowing themselves to live each day to the fullest. 

Thriving on a vegan diet

Denise began living a vegan lifestyle almost 13 years ago after she was first diagnosed with breast cancer and had been a vegetarian before then. Throughout the entirety of her three cancer battles, Denise made it her mission to live a clean lifestyle through proper exercise, plant-based nutrition, and her passion for art. She believes that incorporating these things into her life has helped her physically and mentally fight through the challenges she has faced. 

A change in diet was something that Denise felt would especially benefit her diagnosis. She says, “I learned through my diligence that I could benefit more along the lines of 10% or more by changing my lifestyle, especially my diet. To me, it was a no-brainer.” 

Denise completely changed her diet: She cut out processed foods and started cooking meals from scratch using only natural ingredients. She says that when she informed her doctors of her plan to not take the traditional harsh route of intense chemotherapy treatment, they expressed concern and seemed to have little faith in her. But, Denise persisted and remained true to her beliefs. “Turns out, over a decade later, I am still here and doing extremely well.” 

A creative outlet

Denise also credits her passion for art and yoga for helping her remain positive throughout her treatments.  Being able to create art has given her a creative outlet where she can express herself artistically and helped her relax under stressful conditions. Practicing yoga has allowed her to feel healthier on a physical level and has also given her a more grounded mindset. To those who are battling cancer as well, Denise recommends finding a place where you feel safe to be yourself and can do things you truly enjoy doing. She says that it’s important to find what makes you happy.

The post Breast Cancer Thriver: Denise appeared first on Vegan Life Nutrition.

One of the foremost reasons why many people choose to be vegan is their love of animals. We believe that animals deserve to live in peace just as humans do. For many of us, this is where our vegan journey begins, and for our friend Michelle, it serves as the sole purpose for her vegan transition. 

Michelle started her vegan journey in 2017 and in a similar way as many of our other Vegan Life Nutrition friends; as a vegetarian! It wasn’t until she became more informed about the seriousness of animal cruelty that she decided to switch to a vegan lifestyle. She also found her voice and became a vocal member of the vegan community. 

Using her voice to educate

While living a vegetarian lifestyle, she quickly came to the realization that she wasn’t doing enough to inspire change and put a stop to harmful acts against animals. She began watching different documentaries about veganism, including What the health and Game Changers, which is what inspired her to cut out all animal products from her life. 

For Michelle, watching these documentaries opened a new door to an unknown world and allowed her to develop a new appreciation for the vegan community.  Michelle maintains an Instagram account @vegout_withme_ and her posts are not only creative and original but educate others about veganism, ethical decisions, and nutritious vegan meals. She is definitely someone that inspires others!

Any dish can be “veganized” and tasty

Michelle says that she feels amazing! She has lots of energy and keeps her body nourished with food that is grown from the Earth.  When Michelle is not working as a pediatric speech-language pathologist in her hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina, she enjoys hiking, working out, running, yoga, cooking vegan food, painting and spending time with her dog. 

A common misperception that Michelle believes should be cleared up about being vegan is the idea that “vegans are depriving themselves from good food.” She wants everyone, especially those considering switching to a vegan diet, to know just how delicious vegan food actually is. If you don’t believe her, try out some of her favorite types of vegan dishes: Thai and Ethiopian. She also says that eating a vegan diet isn’t as hard as it seems and that pretty much all non-vegan recipes can be veganized. 

Family Support

Like many other life changes, having the support of your loved ones is key to positivity and success. Michelle shared with us that her boyfriend, sister, and stepmom have all embraced the vegan lifestyle.  She’s educating her dad, mom and brother about the benefits of making that switch.

Just like many of the others who have shared their vegan journey with us, Michelle says that going vegan is the best decision she’s ever made. Her only regret is not doing it sooner.

The post Inspiring voice: Michelle appeared first on Vegan Life Nutrition.

Luis Cerna is a Washington native, and his vegan journey started behind bars in federal prison for drug-related offenses. As strange as it may sound, he says his incarceration taught him to reflect and grow his mental, physical, and spiritual health. The years of incarceration weren’t the only battle he endured. For someone who is serving a prison sentence, the surging stress levels can leave little to be positive for, and that takes a toll on your physical and mental health.

A vegan journey that’s more than diet

Luis took it upon himself to not let his sentence determine the rest of his life. He made significant lifestyle changes in a very vulnerable state and implemented greater changes when he regained freedom. He turned to veganism at the beginning of 2020. This was a New Year’s health resolution that stuck. He experienced health benefits like increased energy but found that veganism had a much greater impact on his life. He spends most of his days exercising, meditating, reading and enjoying time with his 11-year-old daughter, who he credits as his motivation for his change. 

Luis is thankful to spend more time with his family, and although they are not vegan, they are very supportive of his lifestyle change and even eat and prepare vegan dishes when he comes to visit. His absolute favorite dish is vegan fish tacos, and his go-to snack is cucumber with lemon and cayenne pepper. A simple and easy snack that we just can’t wait to try! He says that the hardest part about veganism is that, contrary to popular belief, there are actually very limited healthy vegan options available in dining restaurants. He tries to cook as much as he possibly can.

Luis says that “being vegan feels great,” especially when people ask him where he gets his high level of energy from.  He says it’s awesome knowing that his lifestyle change not only makes him feel amazing both physically and mentally but also helps give back to this planet. His biggest takeaway from his vegan journey so far is that “being vegan is  a way to give back to this planet and to yourself.”

A vegan journey through workouts, nutrition and supplements

A few common misconceptions about veganism that Luis would like to share with others are that you are unable to grow muscle mass on a vegan diet and that being vegan is expensive. In terms of growing muscle mass, Luis has been able to build muscle through daily workouts, proper nutrition and protein supplements. Luis began his vegan journey confined in prison, which is not the easiest place to begin your journey. Although Senate Bill 1138, passed in September of 2018, requires “licensed California health care facilities and state prisons to make available plant-based meal options containing no animal products or by-products,” living a vegan lifestyle in prison comes with challenges. However, for Luis, the vegan options available to him during his time of incarceration were sufficient. 

Luis’ vegan journey proves that anyone can be vegan and get the proper nutrients despite facing challenging circumstances.

The post Breaking an Unhealthy Sentence: Luis Cerna’s Vegan Journey appeared first on Vegan Life Nutrition.

At Vegan Life Nutrition, we believe that maintaining a healthy lifestyle is more than just making sure your body gets the proper nutrients it needs through dieting and

We would like you to meet Julie Harper, the ultimate plant-based athlete from Delaware who believes in taking her goals seriously, whether they be fitness goals, nutritional goals, or personal goals. 

Fitness Journey 

Julie works as a personal trainer and gym manager and switched to being completely vegan two years ago to help aid with recovery and decrease inflammation. She  inspires her clients to reach their goals by helping them overcome hurdles. Julie especially understands how challenging losing weight and gaining muscle can be, as she herself wasn’t always in fit shape. Through changing her diet and establishing a consistent workout regime, she lost almost 100 pounds and started taking her health and wellness journey seriously.  Not only does Julie work in the fitness industry, she also spends her free time training for and tackling obstacle courses such as the Spartan Race, which is the most popular obstacle course in the world and Julie has competed in 50 times. 

Vegan Lifestyle

Although Julie’s vegan journey began as a temporary solution to help her recover from workouts and a curiosity, she quickly grew to love the change in her lifestyle and has continued on her vegan journey for two years. She says that compared to the way her life was before, there is a 180° difference. “I sleep better, I feel better-I recover faster from workouts and I one hundred percent believe that it protects me from any injuries.” Overall, being vegan has allowed Julie to hit new fitness goals and has contributed to a more fulfilled health and wellness journey. 

Julie’s approach to helping others become vegan is to encourage them to try it for themselves so see how their body reacts to the changes. She fully believes that veganism has changed her body and her mind in the most positive way and that once you implement a vegan diet into your life, there is no way you can go back from it. She says the reason for this is that “when people start to feel better, they want to continue to do better for themselves.” Julie and her significant other Jason became vegan together to see if it would improve their lives or make them feel better. She says that it definitely led to drastic positive changes in both of their lives and that at 41 years old, she feels better than she ever did at 20.

Eating the Rainbow

One common misconception that Julie would like to clear up about vegans is that their only source of protein is tofu, therefore; they must eat tofu every single day. She says that this is absolutely not true. In fact, because Jason is intolerant to soy, they were able to both broaden their horizons and try new foods that they would’ve never would have thought of. In order to ensure that they are getting a full balanced diet, they “truly eat the rainbow.” Beans are a necessity throughout her diet and her favorite plant-based meal is a 4 bean chili.
