Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin that is most commonly found in animal products. A sufficient intake is therefore very important for vegans.
The supplement contains vitamin B12 in the form of adenosylcobalamin and methycobalamin - two biologically active substances that act as enzyme cofactors activating two different signaling pathways.
Viridian Nutrition products contain only a pure blend of bioactive ingredients = 100% active ingredients and 0% ballast additives and binders. Viridian Nutrition guarantees the superior quality and purity of its products by rigorously controlling the entire production process from seed to final product = working with local producers and growers dedicated to the highest quality. For ethical reasons, Viridian Nutrition does not use palm oil in its products and does not test its products on animals. All product packaging is 100% organic.
ETHICAL DIETARY SUPPLEMENT
What does it even mean - an ethical dietary supplement? It means that Viridian brand supplements are made from all natural ingredients and you will find absolutely no chemical additives in them. They are also sourced from organic and farming sources, and are not tested on animals. It is also important to note that the Viridian brand is privately, family owned, and not part of any pharmaceutical or other corporation. Viridian prides itself on its ethical approach to customers and business partners, and always strives to make its products eco-friendly as well.
All ingredients are 100% bioactive
This may sound like a given. But the truth is that many commonly available cheap products contain largely non-active filler (which is at best natural, at worst chemical in origin), and only a small percentage of active ingredients. The small amount of natural active ingredient is often masked by synthetic or other ingredients that mimic the effect of the active ingredient in the short term or have no effect at all. Just look at the ingredients.
Support local growers
One of Viridian's key principles is to support local farmers and local producers of raw materials (not multinational corporations), with whom it has very fair and honest relationships. In this way Viridian fulfils its motto of ethical vitamins and also guarantees the quality of its supplements by having an overview of the entire production process - literally from the seed to the final product.
A natural form of vitamins usable by the body
Do vitamins and minerals come in any form? And why shouldn't they all be equally useful to the body? That's right. We can illustrate this with iron, one of the most needed minerals. In ordinary supplements it is found, for example, in the form of ferrous gluconate. This form is synthetically produced, and the reason why it is used in ordinary supplements is again because of its low cost. Viridian, for example, uses a direct extract from the leaves of the Murraya koenigii plant in its Liquid Iron supplement, which provides iron in a 100% natural form.
Only capsules of plant origin, no tablets
Tablets are cheaper than capsules, but contain a high proportion of ballast binders and adhesives, which can make up up to 50% of the tablet. If you take dietary supplements in tablets, you can consume up to a kilogram of glues and other ballast in a year.
And beware - many capsules also contain magnesium stearate, which is added to the capsule to make it non-stick to the production line. Viridian capsules are made entirely from natural ingredients.
No GMO ingredients
Genetically modified crops are unnatural and their effects on health and the ecosystem can be catastrophic. They are created primarily to increase yield and are the product of a multinational agrochemical industry that seeks only their own profit, not your health. You will never find any GMO ingredients in Viridian products.
No irradiated ingredients
Irradiation of food is done by ionizing radiation (alpha,beta,gamma,x-rays,...) - that is, radioactive radiation to destroy supposedly undesirable microorganisms. These are largely eliminated, but equally many micronutrients that the food naturally contains are also destroyed.
No animal ingredients
Animal ingredients are not necessarily a bad thing, but Viridian tries to make as many of its products suitable for vegans as possible.
No artificial sweeteners
Artificial sweeteners are supposed to be a preferable alternative to sugar, but they actually do much more harm. They are substances that are unnatural to the body, which build up in the body and the environment, and are most likely to contribute to the development of diseases of civilisation - from infertility to diabetes to cancer.
No artificial colours or preservatives
No artificial colours, no preservatives. You won't find these or any other artificial additives in Viridian products.
No magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide or shellac
Titanium dioxide or titanium white is used as a colouring agent. You'll find it in many pharmaceutical products, common dietary supplements, industrially processed foods, on tennis courts where it forms white lines around the court, and on the Saturn V rocket where it helped as an outdoor coating. Magnesium stearate is used as a lubricant - it prevents the capsules from catching on the production line. In combination with water and soap, it forms an insoluble substance, which forms, for example, the typical non-removable rings on bathtubs. Shellac is a resin secreted by the female lac worm, an insect native to India. The sheets of this resin dissolve in ethyl alcohol to form liquid shellac, which is used as a varnish and glaze. These substances are commonly used in dietary supplements, medicines and foods. They are not found in Viridian supplements.
Eco-friendly bottles
Viridian uses glass bottles made of so-called amber glass, which protect the contents from light and heat. They can also be recycled or reused. They can also be returned to our stores in exchange for a discount on your next purchase. The cap on the bottles is made of recyclable aluminium and the seal on the cap is made of cornstarch - Viridian does not use any plastic.
No palm oil
Viridian is the first brand in the world to be certified by POFCAP - The Palm Oil Free Accreditation Programme. This guarantees that the brand does not use palm oil in its products or manufacturing.
