Our bodies rely on a wide range of vitamins and minerals to keep everyday processes working normally. From bones and muscles to the immune system and nervous system, these nutrients each have their own role to play.
But getting enough of them isn't always as straightforward as it sounds. Diet, lifestyle, age, the seasons and individual nutritional needs can all influence what we need.
Our Essential Nutrient Bundle brings together three important vitamins: Vitamin D3, Vitamin C and Vitamin B12. Each supports a different area of normal health, making them a useful combination for everyday nutritional support.
Vitamin D3: Supporting Bones, Joints and Immunity
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient with an important role in maintaining normal bones and muscle function. It also contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
It's particularly relevant in the UK, where our main natural source of vitamin D, sunlight, is limited during much of the year.
Our Vitamin D3 is available in 3,000 IU and 5,000 IU strengths, giving you a choice depending on your individual nutritional needs.
Vitamin D also contributes to the normal absorption and utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, helping support the processes involved in maintaining normal bones.
Vitamin C: Everyday Immune Support
Vitamin C is probably one of the best-known vitamins, particularly when it comes to immune health.
It contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. It also contributes to normal collagen formation, which is important for the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage, gums and blood vessels.
Vitamin C is found naturally in fruit and vegetables, including citrus fruits, berries and peppers.
As a water-soluble vitamin, vitamin C isn't stored in the body in the same way as fat-soluble vitamins, which is one reason regular dietary intake is important.
Vitamin B12: Supporting the Nervous System
Vitamin B12 has a particularly important role in the nervous system.
It contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and normal psychological function. It also contributes to normal red blood cell formation and normal energy-yielding metabolism, as well as helping to reduce tiredness and fatigue.
B12 is found naturally mainly in animal-derived foods, including meat, fish, eggs and dairy. This means it can be a nutrient worth paying particular attention to for people whose diets contain few or no animal products.
Why Put Them Together?
Vitamin D3, vitamin C and vitamin B12 aren't interchangeable. Each has a different role.
Vitamin D3 supports normal bones, muscles and immune function. Vitamin C contributes to immune function, collagen formation and protection from oxidative stress. B12 supports the normal functioning of the nervous system, psychological function and energy metabolism.
Together, they provide nutritional support across several different areas of everyday health.
The combination is therefore less about finding one "super vitamin" and more about recognising that good nutrition is built from a range of essential nutrients, each doing its own job.
A Simple Approach to Everyday Nutrition
A balanced, varied diet remains the foundation of good nutrition. Supplements aren't intended to replace that foundation.
But where supplementation is appropriate, bringing together complementary nutrients can make a daily routine simpler.
Our Essential Nutrient Bundle combines Vitamin D3, Vitamin C and B12 in one straightforward daily nutritional routine.
Three essential vitamins. Different roles. One simple combination.
