VEGANUARY: Nutrients you might want to Supplement on a Vegan Diet

Embracing a vegan lifestyle can be a great step for your health and the planet, but like all diets, it has its challenges. But remember: nutritional gaps aren’t exclusive to vegans—modern farming practices, soil depletion, and busy lifestyles mean almost everyone can benefit from supplements. Below, we’ve outlined six nutrients that vegans should be mindful of, with simple ways to ensure your body gets what it needs.

1. Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 is vital for energy production, brain function, and red blood cell formation. Since it’s primarily found in animal products, supplementing is a must for most vegans - and many non-vegans alike.
This whole-food supplement offers plant-based B12 alongside other essential B vitamins to support energy and overall wellbeing.

✔️COMPLETE. All 8 B Vitamins are included within our Cultavit Whole Food Plant-Based Vitamin B Complex including Folate, Niacin and Riboflavin.

✔️OPTIMISED. Austrian made Cultavit optimises and standardises biological growth and seeding processes of buckwheat so that essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals and trace elements can be concentrated in its natural matrix. Buckwheat has been used as a crop for many centuries – in Europe and around the world – and despite its name buck” wheat”, it is 100% gluten-free.

✔️UK MADE & HIGH QUALITY. This product is manufactured in the UK to GMP standards, ensuring the highest quality.

✔️100% VEGAN WITH NO FILLERS, BINDERS OR ADDITIVES. Our Vitamin B Complex is 100% vegan friendly. At Time Health we believe in clean nutrition which is why you won’t find any nasty stuff in our products including any fillers, binders or additives, unlike some of our competitors.

✔️REVOLUTIONARY ECO-FRIENDLY, PULLULAN CAPSULES. Many cheaper supplements use capsules made from plant cellulose which goes through heavy processing and produces non-environmentally friendly, harmful by-products. Pullulan is the next generation in encapsulation, derived from tapioca and processed with water.

B1 (thiamine): Thiamine plays an essential role in metabolism by helping convert nutrients into energy.

B2 (riboflavin): Riboflavin helps convert food into energy and also acts as an antioxidant.

B3 (niacin): Niacin plays a role in cellular signalling, metabolism and DNA production and repair.

B5 (pantothenic acid): Like other B vitamins, pantothenic acid helps your body obtain energy from food and is also involved in hormone and cholesterol production.

B6 (pyridoxine): Pyridoxine is involved in amino acid metabolism, red blood cell production and the creation of neurotransmitters.

B7 (biotin): Biotin is essential for carbohydrate and fat metabolism and regulates gene expression.

B9 (folate): Folate is needed for cell growth, amino acid metabolism, the formation of red and white blood cells and proper cell division.

B12 (cobalamin): Perhaps the most well-known of all the B vitamins, B12 is vital for neurological function, DNA production and red blood cell development.

2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3s are crucial for heart, brain, and joint health. While oily fish are a well-known source, these are actually a secondary source. Vegans can turn to the primary source – algae – for these essential fats.
Rich in EPA and DHA, this algae-based supplement is a sustainable and effective way to maintain optimal omega-3 levels.

✔️SUSTAINABLE AND FREE FROM CONTAMINANTS. Our algae-based vegan omega 3 is formulated with life'sOMEGA - the world's premium brand for Algae. Life'sOMEGA is a sustainable, plant-based source of omega 3 that has no negative impact on marine ecosystems or global fish resources, and is free from environmental contaminants.

✔️NATURALLY CONTAINS EPA & DHA – NO CONVERSION NEEDED. Unlike other plant-based omegas which contain ALA, which the body inefficiently converts to EPA and DHA, our algae oil is a rich source of pre-formed EPA and DHA for direct support of brain, heart, and eye health.

✔️SUPERIOR SOURCE OF OMEGA 3 COMPARED TO FISH OIL. Unlike many fish oils, our Vegan Omega 3 is free from ocean-borne contaminants like mercury and microplastics, and it has no fishy aftertaste - while providing superior levels of EPA and DHA.

✔️FREE FROM CARRAGEENAN. Many similar supplements contain carrageenan as an ingredient within the softgel shells. Consuming carrageenan carries with it potential issues for digestion including inflammation and bloating. Our capsule shells are made without carrageenan making them far easier on the digestive system.

✔️PREMIUM QUALITY, MADE TO GMP STANDARDS. Manufactured in the UK to GMP quality assurance with only the finest quality raw materials.

✔️100% VEGAN WITH NO FILLERS, BINDERS OR ADDITIVES. At Time Health we believe in clean nutrition which is why you won't find any nasty stuff in our products including any binders, fillers or additives, unlike some of our competitors.

Our Vegan Omega 3 is extracted using supercritical CO₂.

This product uses Schizochytrium sp., and is grown under controlled conditions in the USA.

This product contains D-Alpha Tocopherol vitamin E from sunflower. Because algae oil is very unstable and oxidizes very quickly, the vitamin E acts as a preservative and keeps the capsules fresh to consume.

Please note: packaging may vary.

3. Vitamin D

Vitamin D is essential for immune function, bone health, and mood regulation. It’s particularly important during the winter months when sunlight is limited, and D3 is especially hard to get from a vegan diet alone.
This plant-based blend combines vegan D2 and D3 with K2 to support calcium absorption and bone strength.

4. Iodine

Iodine plays a key role in thyroid health and metabolism. While seaweed is a great vegan source, its iodine content can vary, making a supplement a reliable choice.
This easy-to-take supplement provides a consistent and safe dose of iodine, perfect for daily thyroid support.

5. Calcium and Trace Minerals

Calcium is crucial for strong bones and teeth, and while leafy greens and fortified plant milks are excellent sources, many people don’t get enough.
This natural, plant-based calcium supplement is sustainably sourced from marine algae and includes additional trace minerals for holistic support.

  • Marine Calcium and Trace Minerals from Lithothamnium calcareum

✔️CALCIUM AND TRACE MINERALS DERIVED FROM NATURAL MARINE SOURCE. Most calcium supplements on the market today are made of inorganic compounds such as limestone or oyster shell that are not bioavailable to the body, Time Health's marine calcium is derived from Lithothamnium calcareum and contains ionic trace minerals, making it a far more bioavailable form of calcium.

✔️CONTRIBUTES TO A NUMBER OF BODILY FUNCTIONS. Calcium is a crucial nutrient for our bodies as it contributes to our health in a number of ways including maintenance of normal bones and teeth, normal blood clotting, muscle function, neurotransmission and cell division to name a few.

✔️ FYI: We also have a neutral tasting calcium powder for use in food or drinks. Click Here

✔️UK MADE & HIGH QUALITY. This product is manufactured in the UK to GMP standard, ensuring the highest quality.

✔️ECO-FRIENDLY PACKAGING. Our Marine Calcium is packaged in eco-friendly materials, in a 100% recyclable pouch.
