Are your meals not always as balanced as you’d like?
We all know a varied, balanced diet is the foundation. Real life is another matter: a stressful project, a new baby, shift work or a week of takeaways can push good intentions aside. Vita Active is designed for those phases. It is a concentrate of 21 fruits and vegetables that delivers ten vitamins in a single 5 ml capful, and it tastes of red berries rather than medicine.
Vitamins D and B6 contribute to the normal function of the immune system. Vitamin B12, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin and pantothenic acid contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Biotin contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism, vitamins B12 and D have a role in the process of cell division, and thiamin contributes to the normal function of the heart.
Vitamin D is often called the sunshine vitamin because your skin makes it in sunlight. In the darker months that is harder, which is why many people in the UK think about vitamin D from October onwards. Vita Active gives you 10 µg a day, the amount UK health advice suggests for adults in autumn and winter, along with the other nine vitamins.
