Nutrition Geeks Make Being Healthy Less Expensive and Less Confusing

In this feature, we’re turning our attention to Nutrition Geeks, one of the leading lights in the UK’s vitamin supplements sector. The brand utilises the expertise of PhD Scientists to develop a range of products that have exploded in popularity, attracting more than half a million customers in only two years.

Modern life and technological advancements have brought a seemingly endless stream of positives. However, amongst those have been some negatives, and if not for these negatives, there would likely be a less urgent need for vitamin supplement companies such as Nutrition Geeks.

The reason for this is obvious, and we just need to look at one of the standout negatives: ‘nutritionally deficient ultra-processed foods’—products that many scientists and nutritional experts struggle to even classify as foods. Although wrapped in bright, colourful, healthy packaging emblazoned with clever taglines, ultra-processed food products are causing unfathomable global harm to people’s health, which is only fully realised over time.

The First Nutritional Supplements
To some, the addition of vitamins and nutritional supplements to boost one’s health might seem somewhat of a trendy new fad, but it isn’t. According to CapsCanada, which is part of the Lyle Group Co., supplements were available to consumers as far back as 1916. Back then, choices were limited to Yeast Vitamin Tablets from Mastin and Metagen from Parke, Davis & Co. and they were only available via prescription.

Although supplements have been available for a decent amount of time, there has been less of a need for them, as up until a few decades ago, most people consumed healthier natural foods. However, in these times, the food dial has seen a dramatic shift from from healthy to unhealthy.

Unless consumers make a concerted effort to find time to cook with and consume organic foods, waiting lists at the doctor’s will get longer, and many will be left with the thought, “If only I’d”.

At Luxurious Magazine, we’re no strangers to the benefits of vitamin supplementation. We frequently publish the latest research from the UK’s Health and Food Supplements Information Service, and many on the editorial team take a variety of supplements daily. It will, therefore, come as no surprise that when Nutrition Geeks offered to send us some of their vitamins to try (in the hope that it would prompt us to write a piece), we enthusiastically agreed.

The Nutrition Geeks Products
One of the Nutrition Geeks’ mantras is “Being healthy doesn’t have to be boring, confusing, or expensive,” which is what all consumers want to hear in today’s fraught and confusing world. As mentioned earlier, the company uses PhD scientists’ expertise to develop formulas for its products and only uses the highest-grade ingredients to ensure that each customer receives the best and most effective products.

Nutrition Geeks sent us five of their products for us to try:

• Glycinate 3-in-1 is designed to improve muscle and nervous system function and reduce tiredness and fatigue. It contains Magnesium Glycinate, Malate and Citrate. (90 Vegan Capsules)
• Ashwagandha Calm+, which improves psychological function and mental performance. It contains Vitamin B6, L-Theanine, and L-Tryptophan (60 Vegan Capsules with 3000mg of Ashwagandha in each)
• Vitamin D3 to improve the immune system which contained 4000iu in each of the 365 4000iu vegetarian tablets
• Iron Energy+ with Vitamin C, Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid to reduce tiredness and fatigue, which is also proven to increase iron absorption (120 capsules).
• Nutrition Geeks Tumeric contains Curcumin, Ginger, and Black Pepper. Each of the 120 tablets has 2000mg of Turmeric.

Each of the above comes in coloured pouches, specifically chosen as part of Nutrition Geeks’ commitment to being carbon-neutral. The super compact letter-box pouches use 97% less plastic than the bottles found with many other supplement companies.

As experienced supplement takers, we always carefully read the ingredients before trying a supplement. The good news is that nothing raised an eyebrow with all the Nutrition Geeks products sent to us. Another positive with Nutrition Geeks’ products is that they are manufactured in the UK, which brings extra peace of mind.

Changing Mindsets
We appreciate that healthy eating can be prohibitively expensive, and even those who can afford to do so might lack time to cook meals from scratch using ingredients that are predominantly free from ‘unnecessary extras’. It’s why companies like Nutrition Geeks were established to help fill the nutritional gaps, which brings us to the following thought.

For generations, people have gifted flowers and chocolates to loved ones to mark special occasions and show affection. Perhaps a rethink is necessary, and now is the time to consider becoming more mindful by gifting vitamin supplements, such as those made by Nutrition Geeks, to reiterate to another that you genuinely care.
