Best Vegan Vitamin D3 Supplement

A lot of vegans have insufficient vitamin D levels according to several studies conducted in recent years. This is in part due to the modern lifestyle where people are working long hours in the office and other people live in northern latitudes where they can only get vitamin D at certain times of the year. For these reasons, it’s important that vegans take a daily vitamin D supplement to keep their levels optimal. Why should vegans take vitamin D3? Vitamin D research has exploded over the last decade. It used to be thought of as just important for healthy bones, …

Melatonin is an important hormone which helps regulate our sleep cycle and is produced by the pineal gland. However, there are natural sources of melatonin which can be obtained from different foods and is able to be absorbed and pass the blood-brain-barrier because of its lipophilic nature, making it an effective sleep aid for some people. Melatonin can be sold as a health supplement in many countries, while others it is restrictive for medical use only. Although, given its very safe profile and lack of serious side effects in most people, laws have become more relaxed over the years and …

Best Vegan Omega 3 Supplement

The amount of omega 3 that you can get from eating a vegan diet can vary depending on which foods are included in your diet. Omega 3 is not a vitamin but an essential fat, and for some vegans, getting enough can be a bit difficult if you’re not eating the right foods. However, there are now Omega 3 supplements available which are derived from algae and provide the same health benefits as fish oil! Fish is not on the menu for vegans, so we have a few options in our plant-based diet to get ALA, which can then be …

Sencha vs Matcha Green Tea

As far as I’m concerned, green tea is one of the healthiest and best drinks in the world. But which is better for you: is it Sencha or matcha green tea? Here in Britain, where I live, most people drink black tea (with milk usually), but the popularity of green tea started to increase over a decade ago when numerous reports were coming out about the health benefits you get from drinking it. Like most people, I used to only drink black tea, but I thought I’d give green tea a try for a change. I wasn’t impressed at first, …

Review of Zinc Picolinate for Acne

Acne is an incredibly common condition that will affect most people at one time or another. Could a simple supplement like zinc picolinate be the answer for people who suffer from acne? Did you know that one of the symptoms of zinc deficiency is acne? It recently happened to me and it lasted for months! Nothing worked at all. Back when I was a teenager, I suffered from acne for many years, but the doctors told me there was nothing that could be done about it, except that I would eventually grow out of it, and so they just prescribed …
