Nutrition & Supplements

We explore how nutrition and supplements work together to help you feel your best by showing how a balanced diet provides the essential building blocks for health, while supplements step in to support, enhance, or fill any gaps in your nutrition. Whether you're missing key vitamins due to a busy lifestyle, managing stress, supporting your immune system, or looking to boost energy and focus, we explain how specific nutrients and supplements can complement your meals and support your overall wellness goals. It’s not about replacing food—it’s about working with your body to feel energized, resilient, and at your healthiest every day. 

Let's look at some statistics around nutrition in South Africa. South Africa is reported to have one of the highest rates of obesity in the world. However, we are overweight but malnourished. According to the Vitality Obesity Index 2023, 54% of South African adults are obese or overweight (31% are male and 68% are female). And according to the South African National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, about 40% of South Africans eat enough calories but eat food that contains so little nutrition that they are malnourished. A typical meal amongst the poorer communities consists of highly processed mielie meal, bread, or rice with few vegetables, proteins, or essential nutrients. Adults on this diet are likely to become ill, or obese, putting them at a high risk of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

Dangers of nutrient deficiencies: 
 
Poor brain function (such as learning, memory & concentration)
Poor physical performance (strength, endurance & recovery)
Less energy 
Poor mental health (depression)
Impaired immune system
