Try Turmeric for a turbo-charged immune boost

Try Turmeric for a turbo-charged immune boost

Banish those cold and flu woes with The Good Vitamin Co’s tasty Turmeric Gummies Love it or hate it, winter is upon us. Whether you’re eagerly reaching for your hot chocolate and favourite blanky or dreading the inevitable drippy nose and sluggish feeling of “bleh” – the reality is our bodies are vulnerable during this seasonal transition.  Although we highly recommend stocking up on those creature comforts (because who doesn’t love the idea of binge watching your favourite series with a steaming cup of cocoa?), we’ve got just the supplement to ensure you’re on top form to stave off pesky ills and chills. The Good Vitamin Co’s Turmeric Gummies not only boast a powerful immune system boost, they’re also indispensable when it comes to supporting your liver, heart and joints the all-natural way! Trust Turmeric for Top Notch Health It turns out that turmeric is no flash in the pan health fad or trendy gourmet ingredient. On the contrary, the myriad health benefits of turmeric have been recognised and harnessed for centuries by those seeking to use the potent anti-inflammatory and immune boosting benefits of turmeric to provide optimal vitality.  Here’s a quick reminder of why you absolutely, positively, without a doubt need to stock up on Good Vitamin Co’s delectable turmeric gummies.  Each delicious nutritious lemon ginger flavoured turmeric gummy is a veritable powerhouse of succulent goodness: Toss those tissues: superb immune boosting support  No more annoying creaks and squeaks: supports joint and muscle health Happy heart, happy you: supports cardiovascular functioning No more aches and pains: powerful anti-inflammatory But let’s dig a little deeper and find out what exactly makes turmeric tick. The plant that packs a punch Found in the forest of some areas of Asia and India this flowering plant, called Curcuma Ionga, was reportedly first admired for its medicinal properties as far back as 2500BC in New Delhi. It’s not clear what these ancient cultures knew about the rich golden spice with the distinctive taste they derived from it, but they were definitely wise to the many benefits of turmeric.  Curious about Curcumin? The secret ingredient of Turmeric is actually called curcumin (after the Latin name of the plant). It’s the substance that not only gives turmeric its vivid hue, but also provides the many benefits of turmeric which are so efficient at supporting the boost of immunity. Each of our yummy chewy Good Vitamin Co Turmeric Gummies is loaded with all the curcumin you require for a daily dose of fabulous feel-good wellbeing.  Turmeric – standing the test of time It’s easy to get sucked into all the hype surrounding Turmeric – after all, it’s popping up everywhere and being touted as a cure-all. But did you know, there’s solid evidence this pretty miraculous multi-tasker has been a staple go-to health supplement for aeons? As an integral part of the ancient Indian natural healing practice of Ayurveda (which is still commonly practised today), turmeric played an important role. It was believed that the benefits of turmeric and especially its most active compound, curcumin, could bolster the body’s strength, relieve arthritis, get rid of worms, regulate menstrual cycles, dissolve gallstones, enhance digestion and even relieve gas and flatulence! Wow, talk about a marvellous multi-tasker.  Turmeric and your taste buds Sure, we know people have been turning to turmeric since time immemorial, but it turns out the unique flavour may not be everybody’s cup of tea. In terms of taste, turmeric can be rather overwhelming in its conventional spice form. Earthy, aromatic, somewhat bitter, almost musky and a little peppery, this is the spice that gives most curry powders their depth of flavour.  As an intrinsic flavour component in dishes across India and Asia, these days Turmeric powder is readily available on supermarket shelves across the globe. It might be just the thing to add a bit of zing and zest to your cooking (it’s even available as whole rhizomes in some health markets) – but it may not quite be everybody’s flavoursome friend!  Fortunately, at Good Vitamin Co we know there’s a far easier and more mouth-watering way of getting your daily dose of turmeric goodness. Our irresistible Good Vitamin turmeric gummies each contain 25mg turmeric (which is equal to a whopping 1000mg of fresh turmeric).  That’s why at Good Vitamin Co, we meticulously prepare great tasting turmeric gummies that not only pack an immune boosting punch (perfect for the upcoming winter) – these soft chew turmeric gummies also taste out of this world! On point for on-the-go goodness! Let’s face it – with our frenetic lives and jam-packed schedules, who has time to faff in the kitchen adding a multitude of different ingredients to dishes? Instead, why not pop our Good Vitamin Co Turmeric Supplements into your handbag, briefcase or sports tog bag for an instant dose of gummy goodness?  At Good Vitamin Co, we firmly believe that the whole family should have quick, convenient access to the multitude of health benefits in our targeted range of health and wellness supplements.  Our delightful Good Vitamin Co Turmeric Gummies contain the following triumphant trio of supercharged supplements: Turmeric: 25mg (equiv. Fresh 1000mg) (Contains Curcumin: 23.75mg) Black Pepper: 2mg Moringa: 1mg (equiv. Fresh 20mg) As if the benefits of turmeric aren’t enough to get you gleeful about our glorious gummies, we’ve added two more supporting acts: Moringa and Black Pepper. Our soft chew turmeric gummies contain the equivalent of 20mg of fresh Moringa, sourced from Moringa oleifera which is also called the miracle tree and is native to the Indian subcontinent. This is yet another plant to put some pep in your step.  Moringa is your best friend when it comes to building a robust immune health system. It contains a ton of vitamins and minerals. In fact, the leaves have a whopping seven times more vitamin C than oranges and fifteen times more potassium than bananas. It’s also loaded with protein, calcium, amino acids, and iron, which support your body to build muscle and heal effectively.  Our Good Vitamin Co Turmeric Gummies also contain black pepper which increases turmeric absorption.  The easy, fast, and tantalising way to get your daily dose of turmeric  While the health benefits of turmeric are undeniably vast, the levels of curcumin in your run of the mill turmeric powder are simply not substantial enough for you to reach the recommended intake by merely consuming the spice as an additive in your diet alone.  Remember, all the Good Vitamin Co supplements are completely natural. Although there’s no harm in enjoying a turmeric tea or spicy curry, we’d suggest you pop one of our Turmeric Gummies every day for a healthy, wholesome dose of curcumin, without any of the potentially unpleasant additives, harmful toxins or unpalatable taste.  Our Turmeric Gummies are 100% gluten, gelatine, egg, dairy, soy, artificial flavour & colourant and nut free. They’re also an excellent source of fibre, vegan-friendly and non-sugar coated.  What’s not to love? There’s no better time to treat your body to the terrific benefits of turmeric than NOW!

5 Reasons Your Kids Should Take Vegan Omega-3 Every Day

5 Reasons Your Kids Should Take Vegan Omega-3 Every Day

5 Reasons Your Kids Should Take Vegan Omega-3 Every Day Omega-3 fatty acids are a group of essential nutrients that play a crucial role in the overall health and development of children. While traditionally obtained from fish and fish oil, vegan omega-3 supplements have become increasingly popular as a sustainable and ethical alternative. In this blog, we will explore five compelling reasons why your kids should enjoy our kids' vegan omega-3 soft chews to ensure they receive the vital nutrients needed for their growth and well-being.  Checked out our Kids Vegan Omega 3 Soft Chews Yet? [SHOP NOW] Brain Development and Cognitive Function: Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid), are critical for the development and maintenance of the brain. In children, this nutrient plays a significant role in the early stages of cognitive development, including memory, attention, and problem-solving abilities. Research has shown that children with higher DHA levels tend to perform better in cognitive tests and exhibit improved reading and mathematical skills. The primary vegan source of DHA is microalgae, which is often used to create vegan omega-3 supplements. This makes it a suitable option for families following a plant-based diet. Providing your kids with a vegan omega-3 supplement can help support their brain development and overall cognitive function. Heart Health: Heart disease may not be a concern for most children, but the habits they develop in childhood significantly impact their cardiovascular health in adulthood. Omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA, have well-documented benefits for heart health. They may help reduce the risk of heart disease, lower blood pressure, and improve cholesterol profiles. Vegan omega-3 supplements derived from microalgae are a heart-healthy option for kids. They may help maintain optimal cardiovascular function and protect against future heart-related issues. Establishing good dietary habits early in life can have a profound impact on long-term health. Eye Health: DHA, one of the primary omega-3 fatty acids found in vegan supplements, is also essential for eye health. DHA makes up a significant portion of the retina, which contributes to visual acuity and the functioning of photoreceptor cells. Adequate DHA intake during childhood can help support the preservation of eye health and reduce the risk of conditions like macular degeneration and dry eye syndrome later in life. By providing your children with our kids vegan omega-3 soft chews, you can support them to receive the necessary nutrients for optimal eye development and long-term vision health. Immune System Support: The immune system is a complex network of cells and proteins that defend the body against infections and diseases. Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA, have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. A well-functioning immune system is crucial for children, as they are constantly exposed to various pathogens in their daily lives. Including vegan omega-3 supplements in your child's diet can help support their immune system, reducing the likelihood of frequent illnesses and ensuring they are better equipped to fight off infections when they do occur. Mood and Behavior Regulation: Omega-3 fatty acids may also play a role in mood regulation and behaviour in children. Research suggests that a deficiency in these essential nutrients can lead to mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety, as well as behavioural problems in children. By incorporating kids' vegan omega-3 soft chews into your child's diet, you can support emotional well-being and potentially reduce the risk of mood-related disorders. A balanced and healthy diet is vital for maintaining a positive outlook and behaviour in children, and omega-3 supplementation can be a valuable component of this diet. Choosing the Right Vegan Omega-3 Supplement: When selecting a vegan omega-3 supplement for your child, it's essential to consider a few factors: Source: Ensure that the supplement is derived from a reliable source of microalgae to provide sufficient DHA and EPA. Purity: Look for products that are free from contaminants, such as heavy metals and pollutants, to ensure your child's safety. Dosage: Consult with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate dosage for your child's age and specific needs. Taste and Form: Opt for supplements that are easy for children to consume, such as flavoured gummies or liquid forms. Certifications: Check if the product is certified by reputable organisations to guarantee its quality and safety. Kids' vegan omega-3 soft chews can be a valuable addition to your child's diet, ensuring they receive essential nutrients vital for their overall health and development. From brain function to heart health, eye care, immune system support, and mood regulation, the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids are undeniable. As more families adopt plant-based diets or seek ethical and sustainable options, vegan omega-3 supplements derived from microalgae provide a suitable alternative to traditional fish-based sources. By prioritising your child's health early in life, you can set them on a path towards a lifetime of well-being. SHOP OMEGA 3 SUPPLEMENTS NOW [SHOP]
