Vegans and B12 deficiency risk. Can we help? Yes.
- 15 January 2020
In an interesting article on the BBC news last December, experts were warning that people eating a vegan diet need to make sure they get enough B12 - because the risk of deficiency is "not a myth". The diet is generally high in fibre and low in cholesterol, but some nutrients are harder to get enough of - including B12.
B12 It is found in meat, fish, eggs and dairy products, but not in fruits, vegetables or grains - so those eating a vegan diet are advised to eat fortified foods, like cereals, or take supplements.
Our Plant based Vitamin B12 is the perfect solution for vegans. It is also trendy as it is 100% natural, from botanicals sources and organic certified.
Furthermore, LEHVOSS Nutrition offer a Plant based, organic certified, range of Vitamins and Minerals, including a multivitamin option.

New research on Vitafiber holds promise for Sports Nutrition.
- 14 January 2020
A team of eleven researchers at a leading American university has concluded that a food bar containing whey protein and VitaFiberTM helps gym enthusiasts engaged in a range of high-performance workout exercises.
The study, which was published in a peer reviewed sports nutrition journal and listed on the National Institutes of Health clinical trial website, focused on nutritional sports bars – a major area of scientific and industry interest. The study’s purpose was to determine the glycemic and insulin reaction from eating the food bar compared to a standard dextrose preparation.
The researchers found there was some evidence that the food bar with VitaFiberTM may positively help maintain workout performance and lessen the perceptions of muscle soreness. The study also demonstrated that the food bar did not result in high variability in glucose and insulin levels, so athletes did not experience peaks and valleys. A common complaint with some energy products used by gym goers is they provide a rush and then a crash. Furthermore, it was found that the food bar provided an even level of energy.

The definition of sustainability, itself, implies the responsibility to be a good steward of the earth. Through traditional cultivation and harvesting techniques, our partners Verdure Sciences actively promote biodiversity and sustainable wild-crafting of important medicinal plants and herbs. Additionally, they have made significant efforts to promote sustainable agriculture for some of the key branded ingredients such as Longvida®, WokVel® and Pomella®, which LEHVOSS Nutrition proudly represents.
In conjunction with these efforts, a number of eco-friendly initiatives are in place. For example, one manufacturing facility has increased the use of solar and thermal energy to maximise efficiency. The plant based byproduct, wchich remains after processing, is also utilized to heat the facility and also donated to the local farmers to be used as a fertilizer.
What sets EpiCor® apart from other immune ingredients?
- 04 December 2019
Unlike other immune ingredients that are concentrated extracts or chemically synthesized compounds, EpiCor® is a clinically researched fermentate that benefits the immune system in various ways.
Multiple published human and in vitro studies show that EpiCor® has several modes of action that affect many aspects of immune system health. EpiCor® helps strengthen the body’s natural defenses, nourishes the natural beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract and balances the immune system to appropriately respond when challenged.
When taken daily, EpiCor® has been shown to be a safe and efficacious way to help strengthen the immune system for "more healthy daysTM" throughout the year and especially during winter.

Garcinia is a well-positioned ingredient and to our knowledge will continue in the market for a while.

New range of Plant Based Vitamins & Minerals
- 12 November 2019
In Nature, vitamins and minerals don’t exist in isolation. They exist as foods. Fruits, vegetables, and botanicals deliver their nutrients in complex “packages” that are then metabolised by our body. Vitamins and minerals found in foods come with their own enzymes, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, phytonutrients, and other natural co-factors that can help the body to absorb and use them effectively.
Our new natural and organic certified vitamins and minerals are not single chemical entities. We offer vitamins and minerals as “whole-food complexes”, with all their nutrient co-factors: just as they exist in Nature. They are ingredients with minimal processing carried out, therefore preserving their original vitamin and mineral profiles: the way the body likes them.
