Vitamins & Minerals

What exactly are Vitamins & Mineral Supplements?

Without vitamins and minerals, our bodies wouldn’t be able to develop or function correctly. They’re the ideal wellness partner for your body, helping you turn food into fuel, and promoting healthy muscles, bones, and blood but sometimes, your body needs the extra support for taking in optimal amounts. 

Vitamins are organic compounds, basically meaning they are molecules made up of carbon and other elements, which a range of elements can break down. This is why it’s a no-go to store your supplements near heat sources or directly in front of a sunny window. 

This is also why sometimes it’s hard to get enough vitamins from your food as storing, cooking, and even exposing the food to air can break down its vitamin content. 

Minerals are inorganic single elements, which basically means they do not contain carbon and can’t be broken down either. 

When you’re consuming vitamins and minerals, they’ll either bind to the fats of the food you eat and hang around in the body until needed – if they’re fat soluble or absorb straight into the cells if they’re water-soluble. 

Our Marine Collagen includes vitamin C, which supports the synthesis of collagen that supports healthy skin, bones, and blood vessels.
