Vegan Essentials - the perfect all-rounder for your health

At a time when plant-based diets are becoming increasingly popular, many people are faced with the challenge of fully meeting their nutritional requirements. Omega-3 fatty acids in particular are often underrepresented in a vegan diet, as they are mainly found in fish. But this is where Vegan Essentials comes in - a vegan supplement that provides a powerful combination of omega-3, vitamin D3, vitamin K2 and magnesium to ensure optimal health and performance.

Important: Food supplements are only ever a supplement to a balanced and healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Vitamin D3 and K2

The European Union has confirmed extensive effects for the two vital substances in our ESN vitamin D3+K2 complex.
For example, vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the maintenance of bones and normal teeth, while vitamin K can contribute to normal blood clotting in addition to maintaining bones.

Vitamin D is special: The potentially most abundant source of vitamin D is not food, but the body's own production under UVB light exposure - i.e. in sunlight. In Germany, however, this is only available to a sufficient extent in spring and summer and is often limited by activities such as an office job.
Vitamin D supplementation can therefore be particularly useful during the darker months. Our Essentials can help you maintain your vitamin D levels at the recommended level in the long term.

Magnesium

Magnesium is an important co-factor for the optimal bioavailability of vitamin D3, as it is involved in the conversion and activation of the sun vitamin at several points. If there is an acute magnesium deficiency, the effect of vitamin D is therefore limited. Magnesium is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions in the body, including muscle and nerve functions as well as the regulation of blood pressure.

As athletes in particular may have an increased need for magnesium, we have integrated it into ESN Vegan Essentials - for optimum effect.

Omega-3 from algae oil

For people who follow a vegan diet, it can be difficult to obtain sufficient essential omega-3 fatty acids and therefore also EPA and DHA, as plant-based foods only contain a small proportion of a precursor EPA, which must first be converted into the active EPA and DHA. The positive effects of fatty acids on your cardiovascular system and brain form the basis for your performance and regeneration. This is how you optimise muscle building and your endurance potential.

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential, long-chain fatty acids and as our body cannot produce them itself, they must be obtained from food. The most important omega-3 fatty acids are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). As a look at the omega-3 supply in Germany shows, sufficient intake through food is not guaranteed.

While an omega-3 index of 8 to 11% is considered optimal, the average in Germany is just 4 to 6%. This shows that supplementation makes sense. (Clemens von Schaky, 2021)

With our Vegan Essentials, you don't have to worry about this: they are sensibly dosed, have optimum bioavailability and are well tolerated.

Algae oil

By using algae oil, a rich source of EPA and DHA, vegans can effectively cover their omega-3 fatty acid requirements. Algae oil is not only a sustainable and plant-based source of omega-3, but also provides the necessary fatty acids in a form that the body can utilise directly.

FAQ Vegan Essentials

What is the difference between the Vegan Essentials and the Essentials?

The only difference is that we use algae oil instead of fish oil in Vegan Essentials to obtain the valuable omega-3 fatty acids. This makes the product vegan. This means that vegans do not have to do without valuable omega-3 fatty acids.

What are the benefits of the nutrient complex?

Vegan Essentials is a comprehensive combination product that combines omega-3 from algae oil, vitamin D3, vitamin K2 and magnesium. A key advantage is that you no longer have to take each of these ingredients individually, as they are all contained in an ideal dosage. We have optimally harmonised the active ingredients. Get your essential support!

What benefits do the ingredients offer me?

By taking the Essentials, you ensure basic coverage of the most important basic vitamins. Omega 3 promotes the health of the cardiovascular system and supports brain function at the same time. Vitamin D3 and magnesium act as synergists and are the essential nutrients for your muscle function. Vitamin K is a real powerhouse for your bones and helps to maintain healthy bones.

Can I take too much vitamin D?

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has set official upper limits for the oral intake of vitamin D, known as the No-Observed-Adverse-Effect-Level (NOAEL) and the Upper Limit (UL).
The NOAEL stands for a dose at which no adverse effects have been observed over a longer period of time and is set at 10,000 IU per day. The UL includes a safety factor that assumes the dose is safe for a lifetime of use and is set at 4,000 IU per day. With 3 capsules of Essentials per day you will not exceed this level.
