4 vitamin and mineral supplements and their differences
One Plus A Day: The Multitasker
Multivitamin with fermented essential vitamins and minerals for daily support and vitality
An all-rounder supplement, a multivitamin is a hassle-free option that provides you with your daily essential vitamins and minerals. Packed with 21 fermented vitamins and minerals, One Plus A Day provides daily support and vitality.
The nutrients in One Plus A Day are fermented with whole foods and beneficial microorganisms, which give the supplement higher bioavailability. This means that the nutrients can be better absorbed and used by your body.
Liqui Cal/Mag: Bone Builder
Balanced ratio of Calcium and Magnesium to maintain healthy bones and teeth
Do you know that 99% of our body’s calcium is channelled into forming strong bones and teeth? This mineral is a vital ingredient in the maintenance of our bone and muscle health. Taking a calcium supplement helps to keep your bones strong and healthy, even as you age.
The Liqui Cal/Mag formula also includes magnesium, which helps our body absorb bone-building minerals such as calcium more easily. Magnesium also has the function of relieving muscle tension and promoting restful sleep, aiding those who have trouble falling asleep.
If you’re pregnant, this supplement is also one to include in your supplement regime. To develop the bones of the growing foetus, pregnant women* usually have a higher calcium requirement. Taking a calcium supplement during pregnancy helps to prevent leaching from the mother’s bones.
*As each pregnancy condition is unique, we recommend pregnant women to consult their doctor before consuming any health supplements.
Vitamin C: The Antioxidant
Delicious peach-flavoured tablet to support immune health
A staple in our supplement routine, vitamin C supports our body’s natural resistance, aids in wound recovery and promotes better skin complexion. If you’re just starting out on your health journey and are looking to build up your immunity, a vitamin C supplement is one you can’t leave out in your daily regime.
As vitamin C supplements are acidic and may typically cause stomach discomfort depending on individuals’ tolerance levels, we’ve formulated Avance Vitamin C with different forms of vitamin C to make it gentler and less irritating on the stomach. The peach-flavoured tablets are also tasty to chew, a yummy way to deliver nutrients to your body!
Chewable Zinc: The Defender

Do you know that zinc is a key mineral in the maintenance of our immune health? It also supports normal cell function. This means faster wound recovery as zinc helps to speed up cell repair and tissue renewal. If you’re someone that catches a common cold often, you’ll be glad to know that zinc supports faster recovery from these symptoms!
Another surprising function of zinc is its effectiveness against acne. The mineral aids the absorption of vitamin A, which is helpful in regulating sebum production. If you are having trouble dealing with acne, try taking Chewable Zinc to improve your skin from the inside out!
