Vegan supplements aren’t just for vegans

Vegan supplements aren’t just for vegans

A vegan or “total vegetarian” diet is one comprised of plant-based foods: fruits and vegetables, legumes, grains, seeds and nuts. Vegan diets are lower in total fat as well as saturated fats and cholesterol when compared to non-vegetarian diets. People who practice a vegetarian diet are at a lower risk for developing heart disease, obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure as well as some types of cancers.

A vegetarian diet is healthy and nutritious if it includes essential nutrients. But where vegan nutrition is concerned, it’s important to have a diet that includes a wide variety of foods and calories to help you meet your daily energy needs. This includes replacing vitamins that you would normally get from eating a non-vegetarian diet. Vegan supplements play an important role in providing the necessary nutrients that are lacking in a purely vegan diet.

We have a number of vegan vitamins and supplements

At Green Leaf Sciences (GLS), we produce a wide variety of supplements that help support a vegan diet. Our plant-based supplements include vegan D3 which is extracted from lichens and is complimented by a dose of B12. We offer a plant-based vitamin D3 gummy, also made from lichens, that comes in 3 great-tasting flavors — strawberry, lemon, and orange. D3 helps your body absorb calcium for healthy bones and is important in maintaining a robust immune system

Our vegan calcium and magnesium blend is combined with D3, boron, and zinc to support muscle and bone function. In addition to being vegan, our supplements are gluten free, have no artificial flavoring, and are cGMP compliant.
