Vitamins

Vitamins are essential nutrients for the body. They do not provide energy, as fats, proteins and carbohydrates do, but they are so important that our body does not function without them. Most vitamins cannot be made by the body, or not in sufficient amounts, so we need to get them from healthy food such as vegetables and fruit.

Vitamins in supplement form are an addition to a healthy diet and can be a good choice in various situations. Our range is very diverse. If you would like advice on suitable products, feel free to call us.

Ergomax mainly offers natural and organic vitamins. Almost all the brands we select guarantee vitamins from 100% natural, whole food sources. The vitamins are therefore not of synthetic origin. The vitamins used are bioactive, readily absorbable and adequately dosed.

The supplements are produced to high quality standards. The natural vitamins contain no pesticides, herbicides, gluten or soy. So whichever product you choose, you always choose quality.

Products may contain single vitamins or a combination of vitamins and minerals that work well together. An example of a single vitamin is vitamin K2 from Doctor’s Best. You can use this type of supplement if you want to make up for deficiencies or could use a little extra in a particular situation, such as vitamin D3 in the winter months.

A multivitamin contains the most important vitamins and minerals, balanced with each other and in the right doses. In the webshop you will find, among others, the fermented multivitamins from New Chapter and the formulas from Seeking Health. Our multivitamins are also of natural origin as far as possible.

Vitamin B12 is a general name for a group of essential bioactive molecules known as cobalamins. Vitamin B12 is used in every cell in the body and can occur as methylcobalamin, cyanocobalamin, hydroxycobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. Not every form is equally active, and not every supplement is absorbed equally well.

A convenient way to increase vitamin B12 in the body is the Vitamin B12 Spray from Ergomax with pure methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin. Thanks to the spray, the B12 is absorbed through the mucous membranes of the mouth.

Every label states, for each vitamin, the percentage RI, the Reference Intake. This is the amount an average adult needs per day, as laid down in European regulations. So 100% RI means that one dose covers the entire daily requirement. Percentages above 100 do occur and are perfectly permitted for many vitamins.

In addition, the distinction between fat-soluble and water-soluble is useful. Vitamins A, D, E and K are fat-soluble and are better absorbed with a meal containing fat. The B vitamins and vitamin C are water-soluble, and whatever the body does not use is excreted. Each product page shows the form, the amount and the percentage RI per dose.
