A truly unique product, Vitashine is the only vegan Vitamin D3 registered with the Vegan Society and contains a 100% lichen plant-based form of cholecalciferol. Formulated in conjunction with independent expert laboratories including Stirling University (world renowned experts in lipid analysis) to validate the research, this is a breakthrough product for vegans who are concerned that they may not be absorbing vitamin D2 effectively and wish to have the best possible source that’s cruelty-free.

Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol, normally derived from animal sources) is the form of Vitamin D produced by the body after sun exposure. Common vegan Vitamin D supplements are Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), which is a derivative of ergosterol and is not produced by land plants or vertebrates. The healthy debate continues in the scientific community regarding whether D2 actually offers equivalent efficacy to D3 in the body, with the majority of scientists suggesting that D3 is superior. When people are diagnosed with a deficiency of Vitamin D, physicians always prescribe D3 to correct the issue due to their belief that it is better utilized by the body.

Modern lifestyles mean we just don't get the level of Vitamin D from the sun that our bodies are designed to obtain. Dietary sources are minimal and a frightening proportion of society is Vitamin D deficient. Individuals with a suitable level of Vitamin D in their diet and those who supplement are typically much better equipped to fight off colds and ailments. There are links to preventing many types of diseases by consuming adequate Vitamin D. It also has reparative properties and often high levels of Vitamin D3 are given to patients during treatment to recover from different illnesses and diseases associated with Vitamin D deficiency.

Vitamin D is linked to benefiting many ailments, illnesses and diseases including some serious conditions. Those reported to benefit from Vitamin D include:

* Autoimmune disorders
* Bone disorders (including rickets)
* Depression
* Diabetes
* Heart diseases
* Hypertension
* Influenza
* Obesity
* Osteoporosis
* Rheumatoid arthritis

Vitashine Vitamin D3 spray has no flavoring added and can be sprayed directly into the mouth or onto food, whichever you prefer. It is free from sugar, wheat, gluten and dairy, and contains a small amount of soy-derived Vitamin E as a natural antioxidant preservative. Each spray of Vitashine contains 200iu of Vitamin D3, which is 50% of the recommended daily value. There are 150 sprays per bottle, so depending on your desired dosage, a single bottle may last anywhere from 30 days at a high-potency dosage of 1000iu/day up to multiple months at the suggested daily value if used at a lower dose.

Supplement facts:
Serving size – 1 to 5 sprays per day
Servings per bottle – 150 sprays

Vitamin D deficiency classically causes rickets and osteomalacia (thin bones) and is more common in children who are vitamin D deficient. Prolonged breastfeeding is a cause of rickets in some children who don’t get enough vitamin D in their breast milk. Excessive use of sunscreens can cause vitamin D deficiency. In adults, vitamin D deficiency can cause bone weakness and boney pain.

Those who are especially encouraged to supplement with vegan vitamin D include those greater than age 50 that are at increased risk of developing vitamin D deficiency. People with limited sun exposure should also consider supplementation, especially if they are homebound and live in Northern Latitudes. People with dark skin don’t get enough Vitamin D in their system. Those with fat malabsorption need to be supplemented with vitamin D and other fat soluble vitamins. Those who are obese and have a BMI greater than 30 often are vitamin D deficient and should supplement with vitamin D.

Vitamin D is essential in healthy bones and very important for those with fragile bones and an increased risk of bone fractures. Insufficient vitamin D can contribute to bone loss associated with aging by reducing calcium absorption.

The recommended dose is 2400 IU per day, although doses up to 3000 mg/day have been taken by some individuals with known deficiency.

DEVA Vegan Omega-3 DHA is a quality product derived from algae and packaged in non-animal softgels made from carrageenan and starch. This makes an excellent alternative to fish oil and can be confidently used by vegetarians and vegans alike. Vegans are particularly prone to diets low in omega-3 fatty acids.

DHA is a long chain polyunsaturated omega-3 oil. It is an essential fatty acid, meaning that the body doesn’t produce it by itself and it must be obtained in the diet. It is known to be a major building block of human brain tissue and eye tissue. In fact, the human brain consists of about sixty percent fat and essential fatty acids like DHA are vital to its structure and function. DHA has been found to be crucial to fetal brain development, as well as the brain development of infants and children. It is also known to affect the heart and enhance stroke volume and cardiac output during exercise1. This is just one of many studies that have shown that it helps improve cardiovascular health*

Omega-3 Oils ,including DHA, has been found to also help cardiovascular health. Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

Unfortunately, our Western diet likely does not contain adequate amounts of DHA and fish oils may contain pollutants like mercury and dioxin2. Pollutants may be retained in fish oils collected from contaminated fish unless thorough distillation and filtration are employed.

The DHA in Vegan DHA Softgels comes from algae which has been grown under sanitary conditions and is clean, safe and free from contaminants. The softgels are made from non-animal materials making it one of the safest sources of vegan omega-3 fatty acids.

DEVA Omega-3 DHA is 100% vegan, vegetarian and is certified by the Vegan Society, the non-profit organization that actually invented the word "vegan".

Chia is from the annual herb family of mint. Folklore dates chia back to pre-Colombian Aztec times, where the seed was used in pudding and bread recipes. Notably it was used by messengers of the day, who would consume it for endurance performance. The Chia seed contains essential minerals, phosphorous, manganese, calcium, potassium, sodium.

The Chia seed contains essential minerals, phosphorous, manganese, calcium, potassium, sodium. But most importantly it contains 13% fat, of which 64% is ALA (a-linolenic acid), also known as Omega 3, which is critical for our body to function at optimum levels. It cannot be synthesized by the human body but is vital for normal metabolism.

They contain 18 kinds of amino acids and contain all 8 essential amino acids (such as isoleucine and tryptophan). They contain 11.7% protein, and 328 calories per 100g! They also contain up to 21 trace minerals (the most powerful ones being zinc, iron, copper, calcium, germanium, selenium, and phosphorus)! Goji berries are the richest source of carotenoids, including beta-carotene (more beta carotene than carrots), of all known foods or plants on earth!

They contain 500 times the amount of vitamin C, by weight, than oranges making them second only to camu camu berries as the richest vitamin C source on earth. Goji berries also contain vitamins B1, B2, B6, and vitamin E.

Goji berries contain polysaccharides which fortify the immune system and build strength. A polysaccharide found in this fruit has been found to be a powerful substance that stimulates the secretion of rejuvenative human growth hormone by the pituitary gland.

Our berries are harvested from the pristine remote area around the Jinsixia National Forest Park in China. This area is a 10,000 hectare reserve that has been certified organic by a European certification agency according to the USDA-NOP; EEC and JAS organic standards. This certification also verifies that the wildharvesting is done in a sustainable way.

The goji berry is sacred to the people of this remote region and they hold a special festival every year to honor and celebrate the life giving qualities of this extraordinary berry.

ALLERGEN INFORMATION: Free of all common allergens

We are often asked why our maca costs so much less than other brands. We buy our 100% certified organic maca powder directly from a grower association in Junin, Peru. We pay them a premium price for it and then we put the same markup on the maca as all of the other products we sell and that is how we arrive at the price.

As you can see Australian certified organic have audited the whole production and packaging process assuring you the consumer that our maca is 100% pure, organic and of the highest quality.

Health Benefits

Maca contains high amounts of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, all the essential amino acids and it contains nearly 60 phytochemicals. The extraordinary health benefits of Maca are due to the way it promotes optimal functioning of the hypothalamus and pituitary master glands. Maca contains unique alkaloids that stimulate the master glands, which in turn improves the overall functioning of the endocrine system.

Traditionally, native medicine practitioners and herbalists have recommended maca for :

Treating menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and depression, as an alternative to hormone replacement therapy [HRT]
Stimulating and regulating the endocrine system
Regulating and normalizing menstrual cycles
Stimulating fertility in both men and women
Supporting the immune system
Increasing energy, stamina and endurance, reducing chronic fatigue
Enhancing libido, treating impotence
Revitalizing seniors, mentally and physically.

Maca is essentially an adaptogen and therefore adapts to your bodies metabolism and particular needs to achieve an overall sense of wellbeing and optimal functioning. Through balancing and optimizing the functioning of the hypothalamus and pituitary master glands it also balances and optimizes the functioning of the adrenal glands, the thyroid and the pancreas. Because the levels of oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone are optimized this in turn helps regulate ovarian function and enables the adrenals to produce enough hormones to avoid symptoms during menopause.

Due to this overall affect of maca on the hormonal system and high level of protein it also acts as an effective whole food mucsle building agent.

Maca also remineralizes the body, due to its high mineral content, making up for the lack of minerals in modern diets and conventionally grown fruit and vegetables. Maca has such a high mineral content due to the soils and environment in which it is grown. The cooperative of indigenous maca growers who grow our maca leave the soil fallow for 5 years after each maca crop so that the soils regenerate completely with minerals.

Serving Suggestions

Add 1 to 5 heaped teaspoons of maca to your favourite juice, smoothie or cereal 1 or 2 times a day.

For the ancient Incans and modern day Peruvians, especially in the Junin district of the Andes, maca is a staple food. So you can eat as much as you like, the more you eat the more energy and overall vigour you will experience. Maca is non-toxic, has no dangerous side affects and no withdrawal symptoms. So the quantity you can take really depends on what you want to achieve. This is why we make it available at an affordable price so that people can consume it in appropriate quantities and experience the full benefit.

To start off with we recommend 1 teaspoon (if you feel a little queazy in the stomach reduce it to 1/2 a teaspoon for several days until your body adjusts to it). Then you can build up to 5g a day or approximately 1 to 5 teaspoons.

Health Benefits

Coconut butter is known for its Lauric acid content, and for its quality, healthy saturated fats. Cholesterol does not naturally occur in the plant kingdom. Unlike saturated animal fats, Coconut oil is cholesterol free, making it safe for people with cholesterol challenges. Lauric acid promotes immune function through its transformation into monolaurin once ingested. Studies show that Monolaurin is able to destroy lipid coated viruses and bacteria including influenza, herpes and HIV.

Cellular Health

Our body's cells are comprised primarily of saturated fats. Regular consumption of Coconut Butter promotes cellular health reducing oxidative damage from free radical exposure. Internal cellular protection translates externally to healthier, more hydrated, younger looking skin.

Medium Chain triglycerides (MCT's) are abundantly found in coconut butter. Unlike other forms of fat, the liver is able to metabolise MCT's similarly to how it utilises carbohydrates as a fuel source. Coconut butter's digestibility means that it is quickly absorbed by our bodies, and not left to circulate the blood stream like other fats. The MCT's in coconut oil have also been shown to have thyroid supporting mechanisms. Studies that were conducted on the basal (resting) metabolic rate of people who ate MCT's comparative to those participants who consumed more LCT's (long chain triglycerides i.e. vegetable oils) were found on average to have a 12% increase in their basal metabolic rates.

Loving Earth Agave is processed below 40ºC using a vacuum evaporator and certified organic vegan enzyme as a catalyst to concentrate the natural sugars into a stable form. Agave Syrup has a low Glycemic Index (<30). As a replacement for sugar, use 25% less Agave Syrup than you would normally use of sugar. The dark unfiltered Agave has more minerals than the light filtered version and a richer, wilder flavour.
