Vitamins, Minerals & Antioxidants: Nature’s Natural Immune Boosters 👇
Getting enough micronutrients, such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants gives your body the tools it needs to fight off infection and stay healthy. That’s because these amazing (yet tiny!) nutrients work within almost every cell of the immune system and throughout the body to protect, repair and replenish us from a cellular level 🔬
Let’s take a look…
💊 Vitamins – Vitamins A, B6, C, D and E are super important for immune function and supporting the activity of immune cells
💚 Minerals – Trace minerals such as selenium and magnesium help to fight off infection
❤️ Antioxidants – Protect cells from environmental damage and fight off free radicals to keep them healthy
Following a plant-based diet means you’re off to a good start when it comes to getting enough vitamins, minerals and antioxidants – as plant foods tend to be rich sources of all three. In order to get the right mix and meet requirements across the board, it’s a good idea to ‘eat the rainbow’ and include lots of different colours on your plate. Having healthy snacks between meals will also top up your micronutrient levels ✔️
Our seed-based snacks provide a whole spectrum of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants in one small but mighty package! What’s more, because they are as minimally processed as possible we get these nutrients to you in their natural form – so they are as bioavailable as possible 💪
