Wellness isn't one nutrient or one goal — it's everything working better, together. That means more colour on your plate, more fibre for gut health, fats that feed your brain, and vitamins to keep your energy stable. Wist helps you nudge things forward without restriction or overwhelm.

The sunshine vitamin for healthy bones, teeth and muscles

Often called the 'sunshine vitamin', Vitamin D is unique because your body creates it from sunlight. 
        It's essential for guiding calcium to where it's needed most, helping to keep your bones and muscles strong and healthy.

        During the darker autumn and winter months, or if you don't get much time outdoors, it can be tricky to get enough. That's when turning to food sources like oily fish, eggs, and fortified foods becomes a great way to top up your levels. For many, a simple daily supplement during these months is also a wise choice.

The fundamental nutrient for building new cells and supporting healthy development

Vitamin B9, or Folate, plays a fundamental role in building and repairing your body. It is essential for creating new cells and forming DNA—the blueprint for all cell growth and function.

This role becomes especially critical during periods of rapid growth, which is why Folate is so important for a healthy pregnancy. For this reason, a folic acid supplement (the synthetic form of folate) is strongly recommended for women who are planning a pregnancy or are in the early stages.

Like other B vitamins, Folate is water-soluble, meaning your body can't store large amounts. A consistent intake of folate-rich foods is key to keeping your cellular repair and renewal systems well-supplied.

For strong bones, healthy muscles, and a steady heartbeat

Calcium is the body's primary mineral for building and maintaining strength in your bones and teeth. But its role goes far beyond structure; it's also a vital messenger that helps your nervous system communicate with your muscles, powering everything from your daily movements to the rhythm of your heart.

        To do its job effectively, Calcium needs a partner: Vitamin D. This crucial vitamin acts like a key, unlocking Calcium's ability to be absorbed and used by your body. This is why pairing calcium-rich foods with sources of Vitamin D (like sunlight or oily fish) is such a powerful and intelligent strategy for your health.

Essential for oxygen transport and maintaining energy

Iron's most critical role is building haemoglobin, the protein in your red blood cells that acts like a transport system, carrying oxygen from your lungs to every cell in your body. This oxygen delivery is fundamental to your body's energy production and overall vitality.

        There are two forms of iron in our diet. Heme iron, found in animal products like red meat, is easily absorbed. Non-heme iron, found in plant-based sources like beans, nuts, and leafy greens, is also valuable, and its absorption can be boosted by pairing it with a source of Vitamin C.
        
        Because of menstrual blood loss, the iron needs for pre-menopausal women are significantly higher than for men. This is why being mindful of regular iron-rich sources in the diet is particularly important for this group.

Magnesium is one of the body's busiest minerals, acting as a crucial helper in over 300 biochemical reactions. This vital activity is essential for converting food into energy, supporting the smooth communication between your nerves and muscles, and helping to maintain strong, healthy bones.

        Because it plays a role in so many fundamental processes, the most effective way to ensure you're getting enough is through a consistently varied diet.

Regulates fluid balance and muscle contractions

Potassium is a vital electrolyte, which means it helps carry the electrical signals that power your nerves and muscles. This essential function is crucial for everything from everyday movements to regulating the rhythm of your heart.

        While the daily requirement for potassium is relatively high, it's abundant in a wide range of whole foods. Sourcing it from your diet is the safest and most effective approach, as the nutrient is naturally packaged with fibre, allowing your body to absorb it at a steady, manageable rate.
