The early bird gets the good health worm
Gearing up for great health early on is your first and best defence when it comes to living a long and happy life of wellness and healthy contentment. It was the famous and gorgeous Italian actress Sophia Loren who once said: “There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.” This timeless sentiment perfectly complements our holistic outlook on living your best and healthiest life. Although there may not be an actual “fountain of youth” (wouldn’t that be great though?), you can certainly adopt a few very simple and practical steps early on to give your body and mind the best shot at attaining that vitality, joie de vivre and va-va-va voom that the stunning Sophia alluded to. That hackneyed adage of “prevention is better than cure” really does apply when it comes to pre-empting and protecting your health, and you’re never too young to start taking steps to combat the diseases, disorders and conditions associated with ageing. In fact, it’s been proven time and again that even while in utero babies benefit significantly from the healthy routines of their mothers. Factors such as Mom taking antenatal supplements which contain essential pregnancy vitamins and minerals (especially vitally important ones such as folic acid which prevent spina bifida and are a component of our Good Multi Vitamin Supplements and getting sufficient exercise, being well hydrated and abstaining from harmful substances – can kick start Baby’s road to optimum development and vitality. Realistically speaking we can’t and don’t always get all the essential nutrients from our food. Which is why the Good Vitamin Co range of versatile, targeted supplements for all ages is the perfect safety net – providing all the right goodies your body (whether it’s still growing or already grown up) needs to perform optimally in an increasingly challenging and demanding world. Don’t delay – seize the day! By choosing to incorporate the Good Vitamin range of digestive health supplements, skin health supplements, eye health supplements, and bone health supplements into your lifestyle – you’re future-proofing your health and wellbeing – from the inside out! The steps we take now to safeguard our health and wellbeing can have far reaching consequences further down the line. If you’re in your 20s or 30s chances are you’re reaping the many rewards of being in the so-called “prime of your life”. But now is definitely not the time to rest on your laurels. Issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis, cancer, and strokes are probably very far from your mind. However, as Dr. Erin D. Michos, Associate Professor of Medicine within the Division of Cardiology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine says: “There’s no doubt that how you live the first half of your life not only impacts your current state, but it also affects how healthy you’ll be in the second half of your life.” Recent research shows that some disorders related to older age are impacting younger adults, while others are greatly affected by what you do in your 20s and 30s. We’re noticing a dramatic rise in risk factors like high blood pressure and high cholesterol in younger adults, partly due to the epidemic of sedentary lifestyles, combined with poor dietary habits. The Good News It’s vital to know that these risk factors are largely preventable. If you’re in your 20s and 30s and willing to make lifestyle changes now, you can significantly lower your risk of developing these health issues later down the line. How can you reduce your risk? The best time to start practising healthy routines? Now, now, and NOW! Juggling the demands of studying, career, marriage, and parenting (depending on what stage you find yourself in – and, let’s face it, these days it’s highly likely you’ll be trying to keep most, if not all, of those balls in the air) can take its toll. Often, we relegate self-care right to the bottom of the list, to fit in all the other “must do’s”. But it’s absolutely non-negotiable that you make the time NOW to do the things that will have a major impact on your health later in life. “If you’re able to reach middle age with low cholesterol, ideal blood pressure, an optimal weight, not smoking and not diabetic, you’ll be less likely to ever develop these conditions we’re talking about,” Michos says. “Whether you live free of chronic diseases after the age of 50 really depends on the actions you take now.” The Super Seven Steps to create a healthier future: Superfoods to the rescue! Consume a healthy diet packed with wholesome, fresh produce and vitality-boosting nutrition. Be BP Savvy: Keep your blood pressure in check. Step it up! Increase your daily activity. It’s a no-brainer - quit smoking. Keep those sweet tooth cravings at bay! Reduce your blood sugar. Don’t pile on the pounds. Stay within a healthy weight. Happy heart, happy you! Control your cholesterol. Digestive health supplements for the win! Our digestive health supplements Good Probiotics Supplement protect your gut health with healthy digestive enzymes, providing balance for unsettled tummies and keeping your bad gut bacteria in check.

Skin Health Supplements to keep your skin silky & supple When it comes to drinking from that elusive fountain of youth, you’ll be thrilled to know we’ve got your skin, hair and nails covered too. Our skin health supplements such as the Good Collagen Supplements and Good Biotin Supplements provide all the support you need for strong nails, luxurious hair and glowing skin. Add our delectable Good Ageless Vitamin E soft chew Supplements to the mix and you’ll have a clear and radiant complexion in no time. Eye like it! Eye health supplements to combat digital fatigue We all know the perils of extended screen time. Fortunately the Good Vitamin Co delectable Good Lutein eye health Supplements not only support the absorption of those potentially harmful blue light rays, they can also circumvent permanent damage to your eyes – which is good news as we grow older and our eyesight can start to deteriorate. Enriched with Vitamins B1, E and A these eye health supplements are just the ticket to defend your eyes against free radical attack. Protecting your bone health is a no-brainer It’s a well-known fact that as we age our bodies start breaking down bone faster than we can make new bone to replace this process of “degeneration”. This can unfortunately lead to issues arising such as lack of mobility, stiffness, arthritis and general aches and pains. By ensuring you get sufficient calcium in your diet from a young age (and continuing into your 20s and 30s) is of critical importance to safeguarding your body’s ability to continue maintaining healthy bones and “bank” sufficient bone matter replacement. Our adults’ bone health supplement Good Vita D contains vitamin D, the cheerily named and vitally important sunshine vitamin – which perfectly supports the absorption of any calcium you are consuming through food. Vitamin D also supports your immune system and muscle strength and balances your mood. Start as you mean to go on Other handy health tips to incorporate into your routine would be to use a pedometer to keep records of your activity levels, to try and track your calories with a food diary and also to always ensure you go for regular medical check-ups, such as blood pressure, cervical smears and prostate exams. All of these self-care steps have profound and long-lasting ripple effects. By choosing to fit in daily exercise, take important supplements and prepare healthy meals you’re influencing those around you positively – whether it be friends, family, or the next generation.

With Good Vitamin Co’s range of supplements, you can put your best foot forward by staying one savvy step ahead of the ageing process Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? We all wish we could look objectively into that mirror and be delighted with what we see, but the truth is that with every passing year, we notice another one or two tell-tale signs of ageing. Whether it’s a laugh wrinkle or an extra “character freckle” – life has a way of adding a patina of almost imperceptible signs, subtly reminding us that nobody is immune to the inevitable march of time. But fortunately, there’s absolutely no reason for despair and every reason to celebrate, welcome and, indeed, delight in this amazingly empowering and inspiring journey! With the sensationally effective and unbelievably convenient and versatile range of Good Vitamin Co skincare supplements (such as the confidence boosting and mouth-wateringly yummy Collagen gummies https://www.thegoodvitaminco.co.nz/collections/skin-care-health-supplements-soft-chews-gummies/products/good-collagen-supplements) and Good Biotin Supplements https://www.thegoodvitaminco.co.nz/collections/skin-care-health-supplements-soft-chews-gummies/products/biotin-supplements-soft-chews-gummies (which will totally convince you of all the benefits of taking biotin supplements), you’ll be getting all the nutrients your body needs to maintain supple skin, strong nails and lustrous hair. What’s the skinny on skin ageing? If you’re in your 40s chances are you’ll be giving some due consideration to the most effective ways to not only maintain your youthful looks, but also stave off the most detrimental effects of ageing when it comes to your appearance. The places on our body where we begin to notice signs of ageing are the face, hair and nails. Good Vitamin Co has specially formulated collagen supplements with these target areas in mind. But before we delve into the many benefits of taking biotin supplements and remembering to savour your delectable daily Good Vitamin Co collagen gummies, let’s investigate the real reasons why our skin ages. There are many factors which cause our skin to age – some of these we can influence, while others are beyond our control. Over time we all undergo the natural ageing process, which means we’ll get those pesky lines on our face, and it will inevitably lose some of its youthful fullness. We may also find our skin becomes drier and thinner. Your genetic makeup has a lot to answer for when it comes to how fast and how apparent this process takes place. In other words, some of us “don’t age a day”, while others may endure a little more “wear and tear” as the years progress. The medical term for this form of ageing is “intrinsic ageing”. However, the other type of ageing that plays a huge role in how ageing affects our skin is referred to as “extrinsic ageing”. This is where our lifestyle choices and environmental circumstances may cause our skin to age prematurely. This is also, however, where you can step in and make a considerable positive impact by taking some pre-emptive measures to slow down the consequences and outcome of this type of ageing. By incorporating Good Vitamin Co’s skincare supplements into your daily regime, you’ll give yourself a superpowered head start on combating the issues which crop up as the candles on our birthday cakes mount up. Collagen Come Hither By now you’ve probably had to have been stranded on a desert island to have escaped the buzz surrounding collagen. Collagen supplements have revolutionised the health and beauty industry – taking the world of anti-ageing by storm and creating a following amongst scores of people across the globe eager to reap the many benefits of this wonder supplement. Collagen truly is nature’s answer to getting your glow on. The benefits of our scrumptious ripe peach flavoured collagen gummies are infinite, with special emphasis on taking care of your skin, nail, joint, hair, muscle and gut health. Good Collagen https://www.thegoodvitaminco.co.nz/collections/skin-care-health-supplements-soft-chews-gummies/products/good-collagen-supplements is made from marine collagen peptides rich in type 1 and type 3 collagen - key components in targeting the signs of ageing. Marine collagen is derived from fish collagen peptides. This collagen has the most bioavailable and potent source of collagen, making it easily absorbed by the body. Biotin for the win Biotin (Vitamin B7) is vitamin which is present in foods such as milk, bananas, and eggs. It plays an essential role in the enzymes responsible for breaking down substances in the body such as carbohydrates and fats. A lack of biotin can lead to thinning of the hair, and nails that break easily. Biotin is nature’s secret weapon when it comes to sporting supple, clear skin, luscious locks of hair and injecting vitality and strength into brittle nails that break at the drop of a hat. It’s not always practical to get sufficient biotin from your diet alone. That’s why the many benefits of taking biotin supplements such as our yummylicious summer strawberry flavoured Good Biotin https://www.thegoodvitaminco.co.nz/collections/skin-care-health-supplements-soft-chews-gummies/products/biotin-supplements-soft-chews-gummies soft chew gummies make this a sensationally convenient and tasty option for your daily dose of biotin goodness. Give us an “E” for Excellent Vitamin E When it comes to anti-ageing superheroes, Vitamin E most definitely wears the cape and saves the day! Vitamin E is a fabulously powerful antioxidant that shields cells from the damaging effects of free radicals. Premature ageing can be exacerbated by these radicals, which include the toll that daily stress, UV radiation from the sun (which as we know in New Zealand packs a hefty punch) and cigarette smoke. Vitamin E can assist in slowing down the process of cell degeneration which in turn keeps the skin appearing more youthful for longer and the visible signs of ageing at bay. Not only your skin will be thanking you – Vitamin E also contributes towards general cardiovascular wellness, so your heart will be happy and healthy too. Our Good Ageless Vitamin E Supplements https://www.thegoodvitaminco.co.nz/collections/skin-care-health-supplements-soft-chews-gummies/products/good-ageless-vitamin-e-supplements provide exactly what your body needs for a delightful and effective daily dose of Vitamin E. And that’s not all! When it comes to skincare supplements and general anti-ageing supplements Good Vitamin Co has you covered. Apart from the myriad of unbelievably useful advantages of our always popular products such as the Good Collagen, Good Biotin and Good Ageless Vitamin E supplements we also recommend you add these bad boys (uhm, we mean good guys) to your arsenal when it comes to giving Father Time a run for his money. Our Good Apple Cider Vinegar Supplements have all the amazing benefits of Apple Cider Vinegar with none of the unpleasant taste. In fact, they’re so irresistibly moreish you’ll be looking forward to your daily dose! With the additional antioxidant perks from grape seed and fig, as well as Vitamin B for superior, silky and oh so satiny skin – these temptingly tasty apple flavoured supplements are yet another must-have when it comes to supporting your weight management goals and detoxing. Make the most of what you see in the mirror None of us can turn back time, let alone stave off the inevitable and somewhat daunting process of ageing, or even alter what we see in the mirror. But we can definitely give ourselves the very best chance at ageing gracefully, imbued with health, wellbeing and vitality by adding Good Vitamin Co’s essential supplements to our regime. Because as one famous cosmetic brand says, “you’re worth it”. And we couldn’t agree more!

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) 5mg Breaks down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats to produce energy, and allows oxygen to be used by the body. Riboflavin is also used for the development and function of the skin, lining of the digestive tract, blood cells and other vital organs. Vitamin B3 (Niacin) 20mg Lowers cholesterol, eases arthritis, balances blood fat levels, supports skin health and boosts brain function. Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) 5mg Plays a role in the breakdown of fats and carbohydrates for energy, and is critical to the manufacture of red blood cells, as well as reproductive and stress-related hormones produced in the adrenal glands. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride) 5mg Is important for normal brain development and for keeping the nervous system and immune system healthy. Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) 5mcg Assists the body to make red blood cells, keep the nervous system healthy, release energy from food and use folate. Biotin 100mcg Breaks down fats, carbohydrates, and proteins from food in your body to convert them to energy. It’s also used in gene regulation and communication between cells. Biotin assists with hair loss, brittle nails, nerve damage, blood sugar control and many other conditions. Calcium (Calcium Carbonate) 130mg Required to build and maintain strong bones, and is essential for your heart, muscles, and nerves to function properly. Calcium may also protect against cancer, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Phosphorus (Potassium Phosphate) 20mg Filters out waste in the kidneys, plays an essential role in how the body stores and uses energy, and reduces muscle pain after a workout. Phosphorus is a mineral found in your bones. Along with Calcium, it’s needed to build strong healthy bones and keep other parts of your body healthy. Potassium (Potassium Phosphate) 75.6mg A type of electrolyte which supports nerve function, muscle contraction and heartbeat regulation. It also moves nutrients into cells and waste products out of cells. Magnesium (Magnesium Oxide) 100mg This nutrient reduces stress and supports relaxation and sleep. Magnesium plays many other crucial roles in the body, such as supporting muscle and nerve function and energy production. Zinc (Zinc Gluconate) 5mg The “Z” in our star-studded adult multi vitamins and supplements “alphabet” line-up. This nifty nutrient supports your immune system and metabolism function. Zinc is also important for wound healing and your sense of taste and smell. Selenium (Sodium Selenite) 5mcg A mineral that protects our body against damage by acting as an antioxidant. Selenium regulates blood pressure and keeps our immune system healthy. Manganese (Manganese Chloride) 0.5mg. Manganese supports the formation of connective tissue, bones, blood clotting factors, and reproductive hormones. It also plays a role in fat and carbohydrate metabolism, Calcium absorption, and blood sugar regulation. Manganese is also necessary for normal brain and nerve function. Perfect Pairings Our mighty multivitamin effervescent tablet is designed to work synergistically – each nutrient complements and supports the others. For instance: Vitamin C & B6: Viral infections release histamine in the body, creating the symptoms that accompany ills and chills. However, Vitamin C and B6 collaborate to break down histamine, reducing these symptoms and boosting your immune system. Zinc & B6: Zinc’s a healing champ amongst vitamins and supplements. It supports the function of the thymus gland (where our immune responses known as T-cells mature) and is required alongside B6 to keep it working properly. Magnesium & Calcium: Magnesium’s supporting act for Calcium begins with absorption in the small intestine. Both minerals share a similar path into the bloodstream and depend on related activation in the kidneys. Magnesium also maintains normal Calcium levels in your blood, providing essential support for bone and general health. Effortlessly Effervescent – what’s all the buzz about the bubbles? There are a host of both health and ease of usage benefits when it comes to enjoying our Good Multi Effervescent Tablets. Because – why suffer through unpleasant vitamins when you don’t have to? They’re dispersed more evenly: conventional tablets dissolve gradually in the stomach once ingested and can sometimes only partially dissolve which can lead to irritation in some cases. This results in not only a better taste, but also less chance of irritation and a more efficient means of ingesting the ingredients. You’ll increase your liquid intake: An effervescent tablet provides the nutritional benefits intended, but in addition to this they also increase liquid intake. This can be especially beneficial if you are dehydrated or ill and not ingesting as much fluid as usual. And it’s a fun way of supplementing your daily water goals. Easy alternative to regular tablets: They can be an excellent option for those who may have trouble swallowing, or just don’t enjoy the sensation of gulping down large, hard tablets. Quick, convenient, and pleasant tasting: Simply pop the tablet into a glass of water, watch it dissolve and enjoy! Our Good Multivitamin Effervescent Tablet is your go-to choice when it comes to vitamins and supplements as they offer the ideal antidote to those all too familiar frazzled feelings our frenetic lives evoke. With their zesty lemon flavour and potent combination of ingredients they’ll be your health and wellness fizzy little friends, providing your body with all the support it needs to perform optimally.

Getting your daily dose of Vitamin D is a doddle with our Good Kids Vitamin D Supplement! De-licious, de-lightful and de-cidedly good for you – what’s the deal with Vitamin D and why do growing little bodies need it? As parents we know the perils of getting too much sun. Apart from painful sunburns and sunstroke, the lasting damage of the sun’s harmful ultra-violet rays can lead to all sorts of nasty health complications, such as skin cancer. But guess what – us humans are a complex bunch. We also need a reasonable amount of sunshine for our bodies to manufacture an all-important Vitamin. Our body produces vitamin D naturally when it’s directly exposed to sunlight. Because we want to banish ills and chills (quite literally) to “where the sun don’t shine” – we actually want our kids to get out and benefit from those Vitamin D inducing rays. But what if that’s not always practical, either because we live in a part of the world with iffy amounts of sunshine (think of those sun deprived people of the Northern Climes, or city slickers who spend more time indoors), or because we don’t want them to go overboard and get too much? Wouldn’t it be great to take the guesswork out of the equation? Now you can be sure they’re getting all the benefits of Vitamin D, by giving your precious cherubs their daily dose of our delectable Kids Good Vita-D Supplements – your yummy chewy sunshine in a bottle! What’s the deal with Vitamin D? Vitamin D is critical in boosting calcium absorption and for supporting healthy bones and muscle strength. It also plays a pivotal part in balancing our mood. In fact, in some parts of the world, people may suffer from SAD (Seasonal Mood Disorder), a condition characterised by feelings of depression that occurs at the same time every year, when sunlight is scarce, and the nights are long and the days short. Symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder include depression, hopelessness, social withdrawal, and fatigue. The condition can be treated with light therapy (phototherapy), talk therapy and (in severe cases) medication. Artificial lights are used to mimic the affects of sunlight, so that the poor folk suffering from SAD don’t turn into pale, depressed vampires (okay, well not quite, but you get the idea). Our uniquely formulated Kids Vitamin D supplements give our littlies a delicious and wholesome dose of sunlight – all in one succulent and convenient chew! No need to have sad little vampires moping around the place anymore! Just one chew a day takes ALL that tricky guesswork out of “how much sun should my kids be getting” – and it’s just one less thing for Mom and Dad to stress about. The bevvy of benefits of Vitamin D The benefits of Vitamin D are myriad. This valiant vitamin is the superhero responsible for regulating the amount of calcium circulating in and being absorbed by our bodies. By assisting our bodies in the uptake and utilisation of Calcium it’s also contributing in a big way to supporting the growth, development, and healing of bones. Our delectable Kids Vitamin D Supplements are uniquely formulated with exactly the right daily dose of Vitamin D to: Support cardiovascular health – for healthy, strong little hearts (and extra love and hugs) Promote healthy strong bones (for all those pesky scrapes, tumbles and falls) Boost the absorption of Calcium Support immune system health (ward off ills and chills) Say Adios to a host of health gremlins Apart from these superpowers our wholesome and oh, so dashing hero, Vitamin D, may also play an important role in fighting diseases such as heart disease (low vitamin D levels have been related to a higher risk of heart diseases such as heart failure, hypertension, and strokes). This versatile vitamin has also been shown to reduce the incidence of multiple sclerosis (MS), and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Vitamin D also supports immune health – those with insufficient Vitamin D levels may be susceptible to infections and autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, type 1 diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease. No more moody blues Research has indicated that Vitamin D may play a pivotal part in reducing depression and regulating mood. A study of people showed that those who reported negative emotions noticed an improvement in their symptoms after taking a course of Vitamin D Supplements. Low Vitamin D has also been linked to more severe symptoms in those already suffering from fibromyalgia, depression, and anxiety. Woohoo for weight loss There is a school of thought that Vitamin D may even aid in weight loss. In one study, people with obesity who received vitamin D supplements in addition to following a targeted weight loss diet plan were more successful in reaching their weight loss goals than the members of the placebo group, who only followed the diet plan. In an older study, people taking daily calcium and vitamin D supplements lost more weight than subjects taking a placebo supplement. Obviously on its own Vitamin D is not a wonder cure to shed those unwanted pounds, but together with exercise, a healthy eating plan and other essential vitamins (Good Vitamin Co provides a comprehensive range of all the vitamins, minerals, and nutrients you need for optimal health) and minerals, it could combine to help shift those stubborn extra kilos. Fun fungi fact: did you know one of our Kids Vitamin D Supplements gummies is equal to a whopping 5 kilograms of mushrooms? Now that’s a whole lot of mushrooms! Each luscious lemon flavoured soft chew Kids Vitamin D Supplement contains 400IU of Vitamin D2 or Ergocalciferol. D2 is the form found in mushrooms (and some dietary supplements) while D3 is they type of Vitamin D found in animal sources (and also some dietary supplements). Unfortunately, there’s a distinct lack of vitamin D in produce aisles. In fact, mushrooms are the only significant source of vitamin D in the fresh produce department, as no other fruits and vegetables contain enough of the nutrient to be deemed sufficient. But not all mushrooms contain vitamin D, only those that were exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet light prior to packing. And getting our children to consume 5 kg of ‘shrooms a day may be a tall order. So why not go ahead and give them something a little less daunting and a whole lot yummier and more convenient? Too little Vitamin D can be devastating Calcium and Vitamin D are a dynamic duo. Think of them as the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the amazingly intricate dance routine that is our body’s ability to nurture and, even, heal itself from within. Vitamin D is responsible for regulating the amount of Calcium we have circulating in our bodies. It assists in the absorption of Calcium – and we need Calcium for strong, healthy bones. If you’re suffering from a Vitamin D deficiency your body can’t properly utilise Calcium. In children the benefits of Vitamin D are numerous. A Vitamin D deficiency in children can appear as rickets which is a softening and weakening of a child’s bones. This can expose them to a higher risk of fractures, bone breaks and overall lack of strength and robustness. But wait, there’s more!
