Following calcium and phosphorus, sulphur is the third most abundant mineral in the human body. The majority of dietary sulphur is provided by the sulphur-containing amino acids (SAAs) methionine and cysteine. Methionine cannot be synthesized by our bodies and therefore must be supplied by the diet. Cysteine can be synthesized, but the process requires a steady supply of sulphur.
Recent research shows that OptiMSM® provides the body an easily accessible pool of sulphur which spares the essential sulphur-containing amino acids (SAAs) methionine and cysteine from being metabolized for their sulphur. Earlier pharmacokinetic and metabolic research with oral MSM demonstrates it is rapidly absorbed and well distributed, and then excreted from the body. Its role as a sulphur donor and its ability to preserve SAAs explains the broad range of health benefits observed with OptiMSM®.

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.

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.

Garcinia Cambogia (GC) is a small, pumpkin-shaped tropical fruit that grows in Southeast Asia and India. The key active ingredient found in the rind of Garcinia Cambogia is hydroxycitric acid (HCA). Many years of research suggests that this ingredient may help with weight management and despite the fact that it has been used for several years in food supplements, we can still see companies including this ingredient in new product developments. Garcinia is a well-positioned ingredient and to our knowledge will continue in the market for a while.
Thanks to our supplier network we have recently approved a range of Garcinia Cambogia options, manufactured by a key producer in India.
