Nature’s Shield – Organic Real Food Multivitamin

More info

Most multivitamins you see on the shop shelves are made from isolated nutrients, extracted in laboratories using petrochemicals chemically processed sugars. But humans have evolved to eat real food.  That’s the best way for us to get the nutrients we need. The ingredients come from a trusted supplier of plant-derived, multi-nutrients. With funding from Innovate UK for the ‘Better Food For All’ programme, they work with Swansea University on groundbreaking research into nutritional bioavailability. They are revolutionising the food and drink industry by enabling companies to fortify their products with clinically tested, organic, plant-derived vitamins and minerals. Now for the first time ever, they have created a version of their ‘broad spectrum’ blend as a nutritional supplement that ANYONE can take. Nature's Shield mutivitamin is made from 100% plants & fungi, extracted to keep their highly bioactive co-nutrients.
