Specialised Nutritional Supplements
Through nature, we can harvest a vast array of beneficial nutrients, often referred to as functional foods, that provide the very cornerstone in the quest for great health. These foods, such as garlic, oatmeal and yogurt, in addition to being part of basic nutrition, may also provide health benefits. Many fruits and vegetables, such as berries and tomatoes, are considered nutritional powerhouses, this is attributed to the colourful components in their pigments called antioxidants. That is why eating a “colourful diet” is a simple way of obtaining an adequate dietary intake of these beneficial nutrients and to ensure optimum nutrition.
Optimum Nutrition is necessary for keeping the body functioning normally, the process involves consuming a variety of foods in appropriate amounts as no one food provides all the substances the body requires for optimum health. A wide variety of nutrients provide specific health benefits and include, proteins, carbohydrates, essential fats, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre, amongst many others. Consuming enough water is also important, it is necessary for all of the body’s functions, including moving nutrients into cells and removing waste products from cells.
Vega Specialised Supplements contain nutraceuticals that are at the cutting edge of nutritional research. This range of products consist of individual nutrients, such as co-enzyme Q10 and glucosamine, as well as, specially designed multi-nutrient formulations.
