Daily Vitamins contents
General information about purchasing vitamins
Vitamins are essential to life, because they play an important role in human metabolism. They need to be obtained through food on a daily basis because, with the exception of vitamin D and niacin, the body cannot produce them itself. Although they are essential, they do not constitute a source of energy and are not required as a "building material". So why are vitamins so important for athletes?
Vitamins are involved in the following processes
- Utilisation of nutrients found in food
- Cultivation and conversion of amino acids
- Formation of blood cells and hormones
- Construction of cells, bones, teeth
- Regulating the nervous system
What are water-soluble vitamins?
The water-soluble (hydrophilic) vitamins include vitamin C and all the B vitamins. They can be found in all the aqueous parts of the body, that is to say, in the blood and intercellular spaces. With the exception of vitamin B12, water-soluble vitamins cannot be stored by the body. Any oversupply is simply excreted. This means that reserves cannot be created for "bad times".
Vitamin supplements should ideally provide as complete a profile as possible of both water-soluble and liposoluble vitamins. The most natural raw materials guarantee an ideal composition.
That's why at foodspring we attach great importance to the origins of our Daily Vitamins. Vitamins are gently extracted from real fruit through innovative filtering techniques and spray drying. Grapes, strawberries, apples and oranges provide you with everything your body needs. A fruit basket in a capsule, if you will. We also obtain the minerals from real plants, like spinach, broccoli, curly kale and algae extract.

The effects of Daily Vitamins
A balanced diet should normally cover your daily requirements. However, thanks to the stresses and strains of everyday life it is not always easy to maintain a balanced diet. When this is the case and if your needs are significantly increased by sports or other physical activities, it is worth buying vitamins in the form of dietary supplements. Vitamin supplements like Daily Vitamins are a natural and convenient solution.
There are 13 vitamins in total. Daily Vitamins by foodspring cover your B vitamin, vitamin C and vitamin D requirements and top up your vitamin A requirements. All of these vitamins play important roles in terms of our health.

Taking Daily Vitamins
If you decide to buy vitamins, should pay attention to serving suggestions that work well with your ordinary diet. Daily Vitamins by foodspring are very simple to use: Take two capsules per day with plenty of liquid.
It remains up to you whether you want to take both capsules at the same time or one in the morning and one in the evening. The important thing is to take them regularly to benefit in the long term.
Daily vitamins are ideal for exercise
Whether you're an ultra-long distance runner or an avid fitness fan: If you demand a lot from your body, you also need to pay it back. Daily Vitamins by foodspring can support the regeneration process after strenuous exercise.
If you are following an intensive muscle building regime you will have increased vitamin requirements, particularly after intense weight training and will benefit from an additional source of vitamins.
Daily Vitamins for your beach body
Diets are often associated with a significant reduction in choice in terms of food, as well as a reduction in food itself. Ruling out high-fat foods and sugary fruit can quickly lead to nutritional deficiencies.
Daily vitamins for health and wellbeing
We all go through phases in our lives when our defences could use some support. If you work with children, take a tightly-packed train to and from work everyday, have a particularly stressful job or are recovering from an operation, you need a strong immune system.
Daily Vitamins are a great "protective shield". The vitamin D contained in the Daily Vitamins is needed most during the dark winter months when the days are short and the sunlight, which the body needs to produce vitamin D, is reduced.
Vitamin D is said to contribute to the formation of teeth and bones.
Our Daily Vitamins contain a large number of essential vitamins and help you get through the winter months cold-free and full of energy.
Buying vitamins online – what you need to look out for
Vitamin supplements are among the best-selling dietary supplements in Germany. Nowadays you can find them on the shelves at discount supermarkets and on the internet, of course. The differences in quality are immense: A study in the German consumer magazine "Ökotest" showed that many suppliers fail to include an adequate dosage or include dangerously high doses of certain ingredients.
When buying vitamins you should also be mindful of the origin of the vitamins and minerals. The vast majority of manufacturers produce purely synthetic ingredients in order to save costs. Vitamin supplements from natural raw materials should be given preference.
foodspring's vitamins follow strict EU regulations and guarantee an optimised composition of the components. Vegans buying vitamin supplements in capsule form should be aware that the capsules are usually made from animal gelatine. foodspring does not use any ingredients of animal origin, but rather capsules made from cellulose fibres. This makes them suitable for a vegan diet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most vitamin supplements contain only synthetically-produced vitamins. These are grown in a lab to imitate their natural counterparts. However, this process does not yield the same quality as natural vitamins. The nutrient extracts in our Daily Vitamins come from real fruits and vegetables. We use a variety of raw ingredients so that our Daily Vitamins offer all the essential vitamins.
We talk and give advice to customers every day, our primary focus being on raising awareness about a healthy, balanced diet. The consumption of fruit and vegetables plays an important role here. Our Daily Vitamins provide a near optimal daily supply of vitamins. But of course, a healthy diet should still include fresh fruits and vegetables.
Artificial vitamins are created in the lab to imitate their natural counterparts, such as the chemical equivalent of Vitamin C contained in an orange. However, it is not always possible to create a 1:1 replica. Studies show that our body can differentiate between artificial and natural vitamins and can absorb the natural ones much better. To guarantee that our product is as natural as possible, with maximum bioavailability, we only use carefully extracted vitamins from fresh fruit and vegetables.
The intensive use of chemical pesticides has an impact on health. The residues are like a poison to your body and cause it unnecessary harm. Moreover, the intensive use of pesticides endangers the health of agricultural workers, not to mention how these chemicals damage the soil and the environment. For the sake of your health, the health of others and the environment, we choose only to use fruits and vegetables from sustainable community farms that do not require the intensive use of pesticides.
Our capsule shells are made of 100% natural, renewable cellulose. We are opposed to the use of cheap capsule shells made of gelatine and only use quality, natural raw ingredients for both the capsule and the ingredients contained within.
