GoV3gan 7 Essential Nutrients 

B12

Source: as Cyanocobalamin -produced through a biotechnological process.

Function: helps keep the body’s nerve and blood cells healthy and helps make DNA, the genetic material in all cells. Since our bodies don’t naturally make it, you have to get it from animal-based foods or  plant-based supplements (like GoV3gan!) And you should do so regularly because our bodies don't store Vitamin B12 for a long time. If we don’t get enough B12, our bodies can suffer from fatigue, constipation, loss of appetite, megaloblastic anemia, nerve problems, depression, confusion, dementia, poor memory, etc.

Vitamin D3

Function: is essential for calcium and phosphorus absorption, as well as muscle recovery, immune function, and healthy memory. Vitamin D is a major player in a team of nutrients and hormones that keep blood calcium at optimal levels and support bone health during growth and throughout life. It also plays a role in the immune system, skin, and pancreas, and could help prevent colorectal cancer.

Omega-3

Source: Seaweed powder - algae

Function: is beneficial for heart health, joints, immune system, healthy mood, and brain health. Almost all American diets have a poor balance of these essential fatty acids - vegan and vegetarian diets especially.

Iodine

Source: algae

Function: This is required for the thyroid to function correctly. The thyroid affects your mood, immune system, and weight. If you've suddenly gained weight, have dry skin, can no longer tolerate cold adequately, or feel lethargic often, you may have an iodine deficiency. It's also extremely important during pregnancy.

Iron

Source: Naturally sourced Mineral

Function: is considered a “precious metal” when it comes to human health because it plays a central role in transporting oxygen to the body as part of many enzyme systems, iron also plays key roles in the production of cellular energy, in the immune system functioning, and in the mental processes surrounding learning and behavior.

Calcium

Source: Naturally sourced Mineral

Function: is necessary to maintain healthy bones, muscles, nervous system, and heart. Calcium is essential to prevent blood clotting, muscle relaxation, nerve cell message transmission, and regulation of cell metabolism. Calcium also appears to play a role in preventing hypertension.

Zinc

Source: Naturally sourced Mineral

Function: is a component of at least 60 enzyme systems in our bodies. It's necessary for the elimination of carbon dioxide, the maintenance of acid/base balance, wound healing, and a healthy immune system. It helps build protein, blood, and DNA, making it crucial during growth and reproduction.

Biotin

Source: D-Biotin-  produced through a biotechnological process

Biotin, also known as vitamin H or coenzyme R is a water-soluble member of the B vitamins (B7).

Function: is one of the most important vitamins for healthy hair, skin, and nails, and assists enzymes in the breaking down of fats, carbohydrates, and protein we consume. Biotin deficiency can lead to thinning hair, flakey skin around the eyes, nose, mouth, and brittle nails. Although biotin comes mostly from animal sources like beef liver, eggs, salmon, and pork; also comes from seeds/nuts GoV3gan 4Ever Young provides the Adequate Intake level for adults from completely plant-based ingredients!

Collagen

Source: Pea Protein Powder

Function: is the protein in our bodies that makes connective tissue for strong bone, skin, tendon, and cartilage development. Over time with age, sun exposure, smoking, lack of sleep, and alcohol, our bodies gradually make less collagen. This means supplements are essential for maintaining strong joints, hair, skin, and nails! Unfortunately, collagen is usually only found in animal flesh, but luckily, GoV3gan 4Every Young has sourced vegan collagen from natural ingredients, perfect for a plant-based diet. [2]

Aloe Vera

Source: Aloe Vera powder

Function: is a miracle plant that has been used both topically and orally for thousands of years because of its incredible benefits to the skin, hair, and digestion. This cactus has been clinically evaluated in reducing the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, peptic ulcers, and even Crohn's disease. Some evidence even suggests Aloe Vera lowers blood sugar levels in people with diabetes and can help lower cholesterol. Not only this, but Aloe Vera soothes and hydrates the skin, has antioxidant and anti-aging properties, helps heal wounds quickly, improves the appearance of spots and acne, and helps in the promotion of collagen.

Hyaluronic Acid

Source: as sodium hyaluronate - produced through a biotechnological process.

Sodium Hyaluronate is a vegan and cruelty-free alternative to the animal-derived form of Hyaluronic Acid. It is a natural polysaccharide that is found in the body and is responsible for maintaining skin hydration and elasticity. 

Function: is a humectant - a substance that retains moisture - that acts as a lubricant for joints and other tissues. As we age, the production of Hyaluronic Acid in our skin decreases and as a result, the skin loses volume, hydration, and plumpness. GoV3gan 4Ever Young includes Hyaluronic Acid paired with 3 other vitamins to make sure your skin stays healthy, fresh, and radiant. [4]

Vitamin C

Source: as an ascorbic acid -produced through a biotechnological process.

Function: is an essential vitamin that has been proven to improve wrinkles, fine lines, and texture on the face. It has also shown benefits in protecting the skin from UV rays when used with an effective sunscreen, reducing redness and the appearance of dark spots, and can help with acne through its anti-inflammatory properties! Vitamin C is truly magical and GoV3gan 4Ever Young makes sure that you get the perfect amount of Vitamin C every day. [5]
