Supplementation for Vegans: Nutrova | Evidence-based Nutrition & Nutraceutical Products

One common concern about vegan diets is whether they provide your body with all the vitamins and minerals it needs. Hence, here are 3 nutritional supplements that one can have while on a vegan diet.

Please find below the details on the products for your reference:

1.Nutrova Complete Omega 3A 100% vegan source of DHA
Nutrova Complete Omega 3 contains DHA (derived from marine algae), an essential omega-3 fatty acid. Vegan foods don’t have DHA, while vegetarian diets have it in very limited sources. DHA plays many important roles, like forming a part of the brain, nerves and eyes. It also improves skin, hair and heart health, and curbs inflammation. 
Why Nutrova Complete Omega 3? 

• Marine algae is an ideal source of DHA for vegans/vegetarians (since fish is generally its main food source)
• It’s in a form that leads to fewer post-consumption burps, which are made palatable by its lemon flavour
• Consuming 2 capsules daily provides as much DHA as a standard fish oil capsule

Its DHA is derived from marine algae, making it ideal for people who don’t consume fish or other dietary sources of this essential fatty acid.

Price: INR 1200 for a pack (1 pack = 60 (gelatin-free) capsules (1-2 months))

2. Nutrova Formula VA multi-nutrient blend for vegans/vegetarians
A multivitamin designed specifically for vegan diets/vegetarians who don’t consume a lot of dairy. It provides nutrients that tend to be insufficient in vegan diets or that are generally lacking in foods, while providing them in vegan-friendly and bioavailable forms that are easy for the body to absorb and use.
Why Nutrova Formula V?

• Nutrova Formula V contains nutrients that are important additions to a vegan diet, in forms that can be easily absorbed by the body
• It contains highly ‘bioavailable’ forms of iron and zinc (easier for our body to absorb and use for their several functions)
• Added benefits of natural vitamin E and lycopene from tomatoes, both of which provide excellent protection from free radical damage

USP(s):
1. The blend of nutrients that specifically consider Indian vegan diets and what they tend to lack
2. Highly bioavailable forms of zinc and iron (which can otherwise be blocked by other nutrients
3. Natura sources of lycopene (from tomatoes) and vitamin E, which are powerful antioxidants that prevent free radical damage in the body

Price: INR 1400 for a pack (1 pack = 60 gelatin-free capsules (2 months))

3. Nutrova Pea ProteinHigh-quality vegan protein
Nutrova Pea Protein boosts a meal’s protein content, through pure pea protein. It provides a high-quality source of pea protein isolate, the purest form of pea protein (with no other ingredients). Its natural, earthy flavour (with no flavours or additives) is a great addition to foods like smoothies, soups and Indian meals. This makes it really convenient to incorporate into your existing routine, to get the amount of protein you need.

Why Nutrova Pea Protein?

• No additives, just one ingredient: pea protein isolate
• It’s unflavoured so that it can mix right into your daily smoothies, and/or meals like dal & roti
• Pea protein isolate (extracted from peas):
  1. Has a PDCAAS (Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score) of 0.93/1.0, indicating that it contains all essential amino acids (EAAs) and is easy to digest.
  2. Promotes muscle gain in response to resistance training, in a manner similar to whey protein supplementation.

Price: INR 950 for 1 pack (1 pack = 300 grams (30 servings))
