Vitamins

Vitamins are essential nutrients the body needs for various processes, such as supporting the immune system and converting food into energy. They are essential for good health, but the body cannot produce most vitamins itself, so we must obtain them from our diet.

There are thirteen different vitamins, including A, B, C, D, and E, each with a unique function. Some vitamins are water-soluble, such as vitamin C, while others are fat-soluble, such as vitamin D. A balanced diet is essential for getting enough vitamins.

In our vitamin shop, we prioritize quality at a reasonable price. There can be a real difference between expensive and synthetic or cheap vitamin supplements. Synthetic vitamins, for example, are chemically produced and are less easily absorbed by the body.

Ideally, we primarily sell supplements based on natural ingredients that are more bioavailable, such as vitamins from real food sources. You can buy high-quality supplements and vitamins from well-known brands such as AOV Voedingssupplementen, Daily Co, NOW, Vitals, Solgar, Orthica, Vitakruid, Vitortho BOOM, Orthovitaal, Royal Green, Jacob Hooy, and of course, the best collagen powder from Herbolist.

Reputable vitamin brands include A. Vogel, Bayer, Daily Co, Solgar Vitamins, Bonusan, Vitals, Lucovitaal, and Herbolist. Many vitamin brands focus on a specific goal, such as supporting your immune system, digestion, anti-aging, nails or skincare, hair loss, facial care, or even muscle growth and fitness.

Water-soluble vitamins (such as vitamin C and B-complex) dissolve in water and are not stored in the body. Excess amounts are then excreted in your urine, so the risk of toxicity is low. These vitamins should be taken regularly through food or as vitamin supplements, as the body uses or loses them quickly.

Fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, and K in our shop) dissolve in fat and are stored in body fat and the liver. Because they are stored in the body, you need to take them less often, but there is also a greater risk of accumulation and toxicity with excessive use. Therefore, always adhere to the recommended dosage.
