LEHVOSS Nutrition always strive to expand our portfolio, selecting only the highest quality ingredients to share with our customers, which is why we are very excited to announce we have added Vegan D-Glucosamine to our portfolio, available as two grades (HCl and 2 KCl). Both these grades are suitable for vegetarians and vegans and allergen-free, whilst also being animal-friendly! Alongside this, Vegan D-Glucosamine has lower environmental impact – compared to that of chitin-derived shellfish products.
Produced by fermentation, according to research, Vegan D-Glucosamine provides the same health benefits that have made Glucosamine a popular ingredient in supplementation over the years. A study comparing the effects of shellfish-derived glucosamine and fermentation-derived glucosamine found that both had positive impacts on joint health1.

Calcium is well-known for its health benefits, especially for athletes and active individuals. EFSA-approved health claims highlight its vital role in supporting normal muscle function, crucial for exercise and recovery, while also maintaining strong bones to help reduce the risk of injuries. Calcium also supports energy-yielding metabolism, which may enhance overall physical performance.
In the past year, according to Innova, 62% of consumers globally consider choosing natural foods as the best way to ensure a healthy diet. Our clean-label, natural calcium, offered under our PlantNutra® brand, is sourced from Lithothamnium calcareum and is standardised to contain a minimum of 32% calcium and 2.4% magnesium. We have material readily available in stock… Contact your sales manager now.

New data shows over 5 billion people (68% of the global population) lack sufficient iodine, which may lead to thyroid-related issues. Since thyroid health is key for regulating metabolism, growth, and development, iodine deficiency may affect immune function. PureSea®, a whole-food ingredient, offers a natural source of Iodine.
Why? Thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) are essential for immune function as they regulate immune cell activity and cytokine production. An underactive thyroid, often linked to low iodine intake, may cause systemic inflammation that impairs immune responses. Stress also affects the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis which may lead to altered thyroid hormone levels and compromise immunity, while potentially causing depression and anxiety, creating a cycle that negatively impacts thyroid and immune health1.

Did you know that… over half of women experience pain or discomfort during their periods1? LEHVOSS Nutrition offers high-quality ginger extract, widely recognised for its strong anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. This plant-based solution is backed by research showing its effectiveness in alleviating dysmenorrhea - painful menstrual periods marked by intense lower abdominal cramping - while also supporting overall women's health.
A meta-analysis that systematically reviewed and evaluated randomized controlled studies on the use of ginger for primary dysmenorrhea confirmed its ability to relieve menstrual pain2. Additionally, studies on students with primary dysmenorrhea demonstrated that ginger significantly reduced both the intensity and duration of pain3-5.

We all know about the benefits OptiMSM® and Collagen offer for the skin. But what if we told you they work even better when combined?
A recent study1 investigated the effects of collagen supplementation with or without MSM on skin health in women (aged 40-65). At week 12 only those receiving both MSM and collagen saw improvements in skin thickness, hydration and roughness.
Additionally, while supplemental collagen alone reduced skin roughness, the effect was significantly greater in the group that received both OptiMSM® and collagen together. The study concluded that combining MSM with collagen provides even greater benefits for skin health. Download here the New White Paper about OptiMSM® & Collagen and discover more.

Benicaros® is a sustainable, plant-based, clean label precision prebiotic, backed by research demonstrating its ability to train the innate immune system for smarter, faster and stronger responses and stimulate beneficial gut bacteria and their metabolites in any type of gut ecosystem. In this article, we will dive into the benefits of Benicaros® for gut health.
A recent study1 compared the prebiotic effects of three well-known dietary fibres of various specificity (i.e. structural complexity) on the intestinal microbiota of healthy adults. Results demonstrated that Benicaros® significantly increased a broad spectrum of operational taxonomic units with 40% lower gas production than traditional prebiotics. Benicaros® selectively stimulated species of bacteria that were consistently present among human adults, resulting in lower microbiota composition differences between subjects.

Our PlantNutra® Zinc is plant-based, clean label and standardised to minimum 2.5% Zinc from guava with the addition of tannins and polyphenols, which are naturally occurring in the fruit. According to research, tannins and polyphenols found in guava may offer additional antioxidant, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Plant-based zinc tends to be more easily recognised and absorbed by the body, as it closely resembles nutrients found in whole foods. Known for supporting immune function, cognitive health, and reproductive systems, zinc also contributes to maintaining healthy skin, nails, hair, bones, and vision. Plus, it allows for several EFSA-approved health claims.
