Supplemental Facts
Vitamin A from Carrots are well-known for their high content of beta-carotene. They are also a source of dietary fibre, vitamin C, vitamin K and potassium, and contain other important nutrients like thiamine, niacin, folate, vitamin B6 and manganese.
Vitamin A refers to a group of compounds that serve important roles in modulating skin health, vision, gene transcription, and immune system functioning. Deficiencies, which are common in developing countries, can lead to impaired vision, dry skin and poor immunity.
Vitamin C from Amla. Amla is highly nutritious and contains one of the most concentrated forms of vitamin C found in the plant kingdom. It also has high levels of iron, chromium, zinc and copper, and is high in dietary fibre and low in fat. Amla contains a high amount of ellagitannins (ellagitannins may help to protect the body's cells against the damage caused by free radicals) as well as other polyphenols such as flavonoids, kaempferol, ellagic acid and gallic acid. Amla’s naturally occurring tannins help to retain most of its nutritional content after drying.
Vitamin C is capable of being both an antioxidant and pro-oxidant, depending on what the body needs. This mechanism allows it to serve a variety of functions in the body.
Vitamin C sequesters free radicals in the body. It is replenished by antioxidant enzymes and is often used as a reference drug in antioxidant research. Vitamin C’s structure allows it to act on neurology and depression, as well as interact with the pancreas and modulate cortisol. Its antioxidant properties mean vitamin C provides neuroprotective effects and benefits for blood flow. By protecting the testes from oxidative stress, vitamin C can also preserve testosterone levels.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) from Peas. These nutritious legumes contain a wide variety of phytochemicals such as flavanols (catechin and epicatechin), phenolic acids (caffeic, ferulic and ellagic acids fight free radicals while also boosting the effectiveness of other antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E.), carotenoids (alpha- and beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin), saponins, coumetarol and β-sitosterol. Green peas are a good source of starch, soluble and insoluble fibre, and high-quality protein. They are also a very good source of vitamin C, as well as containing calcium, iron, copper, zinc, phosphorous, magnesium, potassium, manganese, vitamin K, and B-complex vitamins such as folate, pantothenic acid, niacin, thiamine and pyridoxine. Whole dried yellow peas are used to make pea protein. They contain the 9 essential amino acids, with exceptional levels of lysine and arginine.
Vitamin B1 supports the adrenal functions and regulates the activities of the nervous system. It also plays a key role in nerve transmission and supports the metabolism of carbohydrates to release energy.
Vitamin B1 deficiency, commonly referenced to as Beriberi, can cause symptoms like loss of appetite, pain in the legs, shortness of breath, weakness, and swollen legs.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) and Vitamin B3 (Niacin) from Spinach. Spinach is a very good source of carotenoids (beta-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin), flavonoids (kaempferol and quercetin) and dietary nitrates, as well as a good source of dietary fibre, especially insoluble fibre, and protein. It also contains good amounts of iron, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper and manganese, and vitamins C, E, K, B6, thiamine, riboflavin, and folate.
Vitamin B2 supports metabolic functions. It plays an essential role in recycling glutathione, which is the body’s own natural antioxidant.
The common symptoms of vitamin B2 deficiency include redness and swelling of the inner lining of the mouth, sore throat, sores on the lips, cracks at the corners of the mouth, and redness of the tongue.
Vitamin B3 is essential for energy production. It also helps in the conversion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates for energy. Niacin is also needed for the synthesis of starch to be stored in the muscles and liver for later use as a secondary source of energy.
The symptoms of deficiency include redness of the skin, dementia, diarrhoea, and sores in the mouth.
