Multi for Plant-Based People: Starter Bundle

OMEGA - 3

DHA + EPA from fermented algae (life’s®OMEGA)

benefits

CRAFTED WITH INTENTION

Of the three main forms of omega-3 (ALA, EPA, and DHA), only ALA is found in plant-based foods, so it’s important for plant-based people to supplement EPA and DHA.*

OUR DIFFERENCE

Most multivitamins lack the important DHA + EPA combination in plant-based form and use fish oil instead. We use an algal oil with the ideal balance of both essential forms.

VITAMIN K2

Non-soy MK-7 from fermented chickpeas (MenaQ7®)

benefits

CRAFTED WITH INTENTION

K2 is the most powerful form of vitamin K. However, it’s only available in animal foods and some fermented foods, while K1 is found in plant-based foods.

OUR DIFFERENCE

We use a form of pure non-soy MK-7 made from fermenting chickpeas. It lasts longer in the body than its counterpart MK-4.*

IRON

From fermented Koji rice + bisglycinate (Ultimine™)

benefits

CRAFTED WITH INTENTION

There are two forms of dietary iron: heme (found in animal foods) and non-heme (found in plant foods). Non-heme iron has a lower absorption rate than heme iron so adding a moderate dose to your plant-forward diet can be beneficial for maintaining overall health.*

OUR DIFFERENCE

Many iron supplements cause gastrointestinal irritation but our blend is gentle on the stomach. Our iron is cultured on cooked rice, and, as the koji matures and ferments, it's enriched with iron.*

IODINE

Iodine from sea kelp (Seaceuticals®)

benefits

CRAFTED WITH INTENTION

Iodine is an important mineral found irregularly in plant-based foods, aside from seaweed and iodized salt. The body needs iodine to make thyroid hormones. These hormones control the body's metabolism and many other important functions.*

Our difference

We use iodine that is naturally sourced from seaweed.

VITAMIN D3

Cholecalciferol from microalgae (VegD3®)

benefits

CRAFTED WITH INTENTION

It's estimated that as much as 40% of the U.S. population doesn't get enough vitamin D. Plant-based vitamin D supplements typically use vitamin D2. However, studies show that vitamin D3 is up to 3x more effective.*

our difference

Most supplements source vitamin D3 from sheep’s wool. We use a vegan source derived from fermented algae.

SELENIUM

Selenomethionine from gluten-free yeast

benefits

CRAFTED WITH INTENTION

Plant foods generally don't contain enough selenium (this is even true of some Brazil nuts), so it’s generally important to supplement.*

our difference

We use a natural food form of gluten-free, selenium-enriched yeast. It’s produced by fermenting saccharomyces cerevisiae in a selenium-rich media.

VITAMIN B12

Methylcobalamin

benefits

CRAFTED WITH INTENTION

B12 is one of the few vitamins not available in any unfortified plant-based foods, largely due to the nutrient degradation of our soil. Typically when found in fortified foods, B12 is in the synthetic form of cyanocobalamin.

our difference

Most multivitamins don't have enough B12 for plant-based people to meet the recommended daily intake, which is shown to have an absorption rate of just 2%. Our dosage was determined specifically for plant-based people. We use methylcobalamin, which is the active, naturally occurring form of vitamin B12.*

ZINC

Zinc citrate

benefits

CRAFTED WITH INTENTION

While beans and grains are great plant-based zinc sources, compounds known as phytates bind to zinc and reduce its absorption in the body. Studies have shown that plant-forward eaters can sometimes require up to 50% more zinc to get the recommended daily intake.*

our difference

Zinc citrate is one of the most bioavailable forms of zinc. Studies have shown it has a higher absorption rate than both zinc gluconate and zinc oxide, two other common forms found in supplements.*
